6 week post op check--how do I know if I am ready for a fill?

Kimber-lilly · 10-11-2004, 09:14 PM

Hi All--
Many thanks for all the advice and interesting commentary on this site. Great to tune in daily and read and see what everyone is up to (or down to!).

Anyhoo, tomorrow I go see my doc for my 6 week check. I have kind of leveled off weight loss wise--down about 25 pounds and am "stuck" or plateaued or whatever. Can't lose anymore doing what I am doing. Not hungry--had a few glitches with eating too much too fast, but other than that, all is well......

What do you think? Is it time? I am exercising and still just fluctuating between 215 and 217 every day!

Please tell me what to do!

thanks!
Kimberly

The rule of thumb I got from my doc is if I am following the bandster rules and I have not lost in 3 weeks in a row I need a fill. Are you making good food choices? Drinking all of your water and exercising? If so then maybe you do need a fill....I'm sure your doc will have an answer for you tomorrow. Good Luck~

Thanks--=
Yes, fairly good food choices, however work days (three a week) are difficult because 1. we get so little time to eat/prepare food and 2. terrible choices (high fat, high calorie) in the cafeteria.....sO I am brown bagging it and making the best of it!

Days at home are a breeze--have to remind myself to eat! No probs with water--64 ounces a day is minimum that I drink.....and spend half the day looking for a potty!
