    2nd fill=frustrated!

    Ok so I went and had my 2nd fill the other day and when I went back to regular food it was as if I never had the surgery!!!!! I am curious..is this normal to not have very much weight loss and can eat meals normally at your 2nd fill! I FEEL LIKE IM DOING SOMETHING WRONG AND REALLY NEED FEEDBACK! I'M STARTING TO THINK MAYBE I DID THE WRONG THING...PLEASE HELP!!!
  8. I just had my second fill and still feel no restriction and can eat normally...soooo frustrated! Is this normal to not feel anything and no major weight lose yet?

    7 days post op/Menu Please!!!

    Ok I'm doing pretty good with the diet but every now and then I think why did I get this? Yes I really want to lose weight but I don't want to not be able to eat bread or shrimp or a slice of pizza or the one that might just kill me FRIED FOOD!!!!! I have a question and hope I get alot of responses for my own sanity...WHAT TYPES OF FOOD CAN YOU EAT WHEN YOU ARE OFF OF RESTRICTION AND WHAT TYPES OF FOOD ARE VERY HARD TO EAT? PLEASE LET ME KNOW LOL

    Surgery Today!

    4 days post op!

    This process was not easy by any means. I am still really sore around my incisions and sometimes I can barely get up. The gas is not so bad anymore but I still have a little pain in my shoulder. When will it starting getting better or I guess I mean when will I start feeling like myself again??? Thanks everyone for your support and thoughtful words as I went through this. I'm not trying to be a "Negative-Nancy" but I really hope all that I'm going through is worth it!!!

    Surgery Today!

    So I'm about to have surgery in about 7 hours (9:30 am) it's 2:30 am right now. I can't sleep a wink and I have constantly been going back and forth on whether to go through with the surgery or not. Do I really wanna give up all the foods I love so much FOREVER???? Can I give them up??? Can I take this pain from the surgery???? Will I lose all my hair???? All of these thoughts keep swirling through my head and I can't seem to think straight! I guess all I can do is try to get some sleep and pray for the best...I'M SO SCARED!!!

    HELP - HAIR THINNING!!!

    I have my surgery on the 12th and hair loss is one of my main concerns! This has really helped out. My doctor told me to take Biotin pills that they really help and also Omega-3 or Flaxseed Oil! Hope that helps
  14. Hi there Bashy! My surgery is August 12th by Dr. Hollis as well and I was wondering could you send me a message explaining what to expect as far as pain and food??? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks :)
