Grider

Out 7 mo from WLS.. and getting my sexy back lol- good days n bad, sometimes lack energy... but so much healthier that what i used to be,,, with all the ups and downs... glad I got it done. IF i will lose 30 more lbs by April when I turn 60,,, I will be estatic!

Ok last question lol- should hit the support meeting more, but they are so out of my way,,, anyhow, this is about gurgling when I start eating, sometimes first bite kinda rough, but then the gurgling begins, I dont know if my next door cubicle can hear it, but i have t walk around a bit before I can continue to eat. Being short waisted n sitting down- seems to make it hard to eat at work...At home no tight pants or leaning over a desk so it seem to be easier to eat. Once I burp etc I am ok. I do notice I eat sooo much better when I have no gas in my tummy. Its like a war between air and food! Anyone?

Yes I see my doc aug 13, and prob ask for a referral to a knee Dr. sigh.. but maybe more pool time, for now instead of step weight training-,,, I also ordered some better shoes for the zumba. I can control that by not making some of the crazy moves with the feet. I can see that the sneaks I wear felt good for the zumba but no support at all. I also made an appoint with chiropractor as I feel I am over compensating to one side, almost 60,,, but determined to be as healthy as psssible,

Congrats!

I have noticed in the last few weeks everytime I eat- I get hot- almsot when I used to eat hot spicy foods. It just happend with scrambled eggs, nothing more, Is this a sugar spike? I notice it more with foods that take longer to go down...

Fepblue is pretty fast 5 days norm, but yes- call in and make sure all is there and make sure the rep checks everything as the paperwork goes to a diff dept. and some don't like to persue it or check all the notes, They said I would know in writing, but my rep told me on the phone n then I called surgeons office to see if they had the approval which is faxed to them. Good luck!

At 4-10 ( 210 lbs) went up to size 20,, now 12/ 14 at 172lbs.

was told off the list too..? so was broccoli,,

you will! and just keep pluging at it,, it will come off, and you will get even stronger

Great news dawn--, Dec 22, 2011- 41 lbs... still have 40 more to go-- short of my 1/2 way mark at 6 mo,,, but will keep plugging at it, 4.5 fill

Every body is different, metabolism, types of food we eat, types of exercise, and age etc. I think my thyroid slows me down, just did blood work again to regulate it, he has decrease dosage, and age is also a factor, I am almost 60 with crunchy knees, can't get that hyper with the rest of the group. I am discouraged today because I have been working hard, and it might be humidity, but scales up 2 lbs for the last week... sigh.. I have 30 lbs to go, but things have slowed waaayyyy down in the loss dept.

7 mo out the last 5 lbs have been very hard to lose, I hit the gym least 4 x a week and eat about 1000 cals, a day- at 4.2ccs I deterred my fill till Sept because of lack of $$. I do feel restriction many times, but can eat pretty well. I think my body has gotten happy right where it is,,, and my knees are starting to crakle n pop so worried now that I may hurt myself trying to increase my exercise.. I did change the diet around and types of exercise to more weight training, but now what?? I'll take any suggestions.

It does go away at least it did for me. banded Dec 2011, the way you eat and what you eat , sip or use straws- and even time you eat,,, I do a pro-biotic every day. helps keep everything moving and Papaya pills to help break it down sometimes. MY bigest culprit- vegetables.

Found out that if you are having SINUS issues- this is creates havock on that swallow,,, once I started treating the sinus post-nasal etc. I was alble to swallow easier again. I am very short so my new tighter jeans also seem to give me issues on swallowing,

I have them and add ketchup to make them easier to swallow,,, I also have refreid beans for protein on the side,,

I cannot talk n eat or eat after along period of not drinking anything or eating- the air must come up when my food must go down aghghghg. exactly- so try to eat a little something soft to get things startedm or water or something to make air come up,,, I also notice if I am constipaded or I wear tight clothe it is more frequent. but I too have 1st bite syndrome.. so try to take tiny tiny bites to start...

What is really weird is now that TS Debbie is in our area, and the pressure is somewhat changed I am soooo tight, I can eat,, but I feel very single bite,,, weird??

the body will get sued to whgat you are doing- you must move around and switch the foods and cal intake, or you will not lose, Because of weight loss my dr just reduced my thyroid meds, I am hypo- and losing weigth is always an issue, but time for body change,,, cause I am in the plateou!

Hi we have a circle of banders on my friends list, Griderrr,,, we al know why n how is different from others watching the scales,, welcome to join in :wub:

I seem to get that burning every once in a while- I crank up my water n cramberry juice intake., I didnt know if its from the water or pool excersizes 3 times a week, Some times that chlorine is HIGH

are you hydrated??

We have a circle of banders- so we kinda know what we are talking about with each other, if you want to share in my freind's "Griderrr " on MFP

YES- The first class I died, was huffing n puffing and going everyway but the right way. Now it is so much better, but still dont to the jumps.. just move and slowly you get stronger
