I can definitely feel a difference when I eat now. I just finished my kiddo's breakfast (about three mini pancakes, a bite of egg and a couple of blueberries) and I am stuffed.

I started exercising yesterday. I wanted to go to the gym but didn't want to deal with packing a bag and hunting down my membership card. I just went for a walk instead. My once-broken ankle does not appreciate that.

I also got food stuck last night and it was definitely chewed properly first. Now, I know what everyone meant by "slime" ew!

In the meantime, I am going to snuggle up with my sick toddler on the sofa. We are watching big snow fall in Texas. That is always a beautiful site because it is so rare.

Hi, I'm new to this. My dad lives in Mt Vernon, TX. I am in Missouri. I get my first fill next week. I am nervous and anxious at the same time. I have lost 17 pounds since my surgery so far. I hope that is good, but now I am eating things I know I shouldn't and the fill will fix that right away. My sister tells me that if we had will power we wouldn't need the fills. She has lost 100 pounds in one year with the banding. Hope the fill is not too painful.

Where in Missouri?Who did ur Band or Gastrobypass?
