One week later.....

Its been one week since my first fill and I can't seem to get things right. I was fine on Thursday and Friday last week, even the weekend was fine. I came to work on Monday and wham, I ate lunch and the most horrible pain ever, it was so bad that all I could do was go home and lay down, same thing on Tuesday. Yesterday I didn't eat a lot of solids and was fine. Today tried soft food and it was ok but I get this pain either in my back or under my left breast. I work in the ER and went and spoke to one of the Nurse Pracs and she said that it might just be air. I'm eating less than what I was before I had the fill. I don't know what to do and it kind of makes me a little nervous. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Getting back on the wagon

I have been on here since October last year. After my last post my grandmother died in front of me, then two weeks later her brother died, my favorite uncle. I didn't do well with any of those deaths. I didn't get back into over eating because the band doesn't allow you to do that but I stopped working out and not paying attention to what I was eating. Surprisingly I still have lost some weight. I'm down a total of 34 pounds and I know I could be farther along, I haven't had a fill since November because they keep canceling my appointment, that's getting rather frustrating. I still feel good about my decision and I have started getting back to where I was before I had those tragedies. People say it looks like I've lost more than the 34 pounds but I haven't. I had surgery in August of last year but I'm getting back on the wagon. I have re-enrolled in my aerobics class and have picked back up on walking each day.

First Fill

Today was my first fill and I feel fine. I've been sucking down liquids but I think that I could eat something if I really wanted to as long as it wasn't something heavy. Although I have talked to a number of people who have had the procedure, what I have found is that not everyones body is the same. What I can do or tolerate, someone else may not be able to do or tolerate.   So far, I am very happy with the decision I have made and I feel like I can reach my target goal or get close to it.:thumbup:

Clothes beginning to fit differently.....

When I had the surgery I wasn't thinking of results immediately. I figured slow and steady was the way to go. Today makes 2 months post surgery and I am down 23 pounds! I'm so excited and nervous all at the same time. My work clothes are really starting to bag on me and I may have to go shopping soon but I don't want to. I want to wait as long as possible before going shopping. I had a little bit of a problem after my first fill but I seem to be doing a little bit better. Its a work in progress, really getting used to what my body will take and what it won't take. The only problem I am having is getting my liquids in. Before the surgery I would drink water all day long, now it takes me a full day just to get down 16 oz. I know that's not enough liquids but I don't know what else I could do to get liquids in.
