First Weigh in Since OP!.......How am I doing?

[bikerlady]

Good Morning All,

Well I have just been weighed and had my first band fill since my op (5wks ago)......Ive got to admit, I havent been tempted or even wanted to get weighed because I know that even when I was slim (10/12) I still weighed 11st, so the weight has never been the issue, its the size that I care about! BUT..........I had lost 18lb, which I am thrilled with as its the most I have lost in that space of time, but how do you guys think I am doing, is 18lb good in that time scale?

Oh and for the record, the week running up to my 1st fill I was starving hungry! found it quite hard as I wanted to eat all sorts of bad things!!

Thanks very much Neen, you too are doing brilliantly, your very supportive to all on here. Ive turned into a mega worrier since op, I worry about everything to do with the op haha, I suppose its such a huge thing to go through and not to mention the costs (not easy to come by for a lot of people) so I think it being a success puts a lot of stress on me! With each pound gone I am that bit closer to find the long lost old me !

aww thanks bikerlady i do feel loads better, yes very true it isnt as easy as some people think everyday can still be a struggle, it is a mind over matter thing. and it will be worth every minute when we have our health back and able to keep up with the children/gran-children. and just to enjoy life.

all the best barbara xxx
