Congrats! not long now.
My tips would be:
Don't expect too much too soon, allow time for healing.
Stick to protein first, then veg and finally carbs if you need them.
Try not to rely on fills too much.
Don't compare yourself to others, this is YOUR journey.
I posted these threads a while back which might help too:

Hi Blossom 11,
It went really well. I'm now 4 weeks post op and have lost over 1st. The first week was tough, not so much the pain but I was just uncomfortable and bored not being in my usual routine. I'm a bit of a control freak so didn't like my husband and parents doing everything around the house! My incisions have healed well, my stomachs covered in stretch marks from the kids anyway so don't stand out too much.
Managed on the liquid diet really well to begin with but towards the end of the second week I was ready to start on the mushy stage. Found lots of great recipe ideas on here that I've really been enjoying!
I had my surgery on a Sunday and went into work for a few hours the Friday after (I run my own business so couldn't be avoided!). I then went back full time and was driving by the Monday after, so 1 week later. The uncomfortableness had subsided and I just felt twinges now and then, had to make sure I kept on getting up from my desk and having a wander.
I'm still early days and have my band fill scheduled for the 14th March. I wish I could have managed to control my portions without the band but after struggling for the last decade I'm glad I finally got it done.
How was your consultation with Mr Super? Have you booked in?
xoxo

So interested to see how you've done !
Hi everyone. Hope you all had a fab Easter break!
I'm doing good, I had my first fill l but a I'm feeling hunger after about 2 hours the dietician agreed that I would need another fill so booked in for that on 14th April. It wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be, I would say a lot less painful than an injection in your arm
My exercise routine started off well but its hard to find the time. I WILL GO at least twice this week!
In total I've lost almost 2 stone. For me it's more about my shape than my actual weight though and clothes that wrre stretchingly tight before now for confortably. I've had a lot of social events these last few weeks and seeing people I haven't seen since Xmas. It's always nicer to hear someone else telling you you've lost weight isn't it! Only my husband, parents and sisters know so I've just been saying I've been watching what I'm eating and exercising more.
Blossom congratulations on your surgery date. Not long to go now xox
