I'm good, still on puréed soups but enjoying it how about you @@candykerr7

@@candykerr7 I've been having puréed soups for the past few days without any problems. I'm really grateful to have gotten away without any negative side effects that I've read about. I think I could probably move on to soft foods by now but since I'm not really hungry I'm just sticking to the puréed soups.

@@candykerr7 wow 7 pounds that's amazing! I took Nexium and since then I haven't had that feeling at all.

@@candykerr7 glad your feeling better, take very small sips it helps with not vomiting

@@candykerr7 hi there, just wanted to check in and see how you were doing

Doing great, no pain at all and the heartburn is all but gone. Good luck tomorrow!

I don't feel sick at all. Definitely weaker than usual but I haven't really been doing much strenuous activity so it's been ok. All in all I was expecting a much worse ordeal but it has turned out unexpectedly well so far.

@@candykerr7 i would absolutely love to stay in touch and keep each other updated about our progress. I am still on liquids, but I did have some chicken broth yesterday. Today I tried to have a thicker Soup but could not have much of it. Since I am not feeling that hungry I think staying on liquids is best as it seems that people who progress on to solid food too fast have problems with vomiting. I am planning on moving on to thicker Soups if I can tolerate them on Sunday.

@candykerr7no problem, my starting weight was 83 kg

@@candykerr7 I'm feeling good today. I did have a bit of a dizzy spell yesterday but half a glass of juice fixed that. I wasn't going to weigh until Sunday but couldn't resist and I'm down 3 kg. I'm sure the rate will not continue to be quite as quick but it was really nice to see.

candykerr7best of luck to you! Don't be too nervous, its a very simple procedure. Stay excited, I think a positive attitude goes a long way.

One more thing I forgot to mention is I haven't felt hungry at all. I was a bit worried that even though I physically wouldn't feel hungry that mentally I might crave food but so far that has not been the case.

This is the second day since I've had the procedure. I was sedated for the procedure so felt absolutely nothing. I was told the procedure itself took about ten minutes. I was given the option of staying the night but decided to go home. Compared to what i've read of other people's experiences it does seem like I'm having a comparably easy time. First day I did vomit twice but it wasn't painful. At night I was very uncomfortable but I wouldn't class it as pain and more of discomfort. I had trouble finding a comfortable position to sleep in and the best was on my right side with a small pillow underneath my side. Today I haven't vomited at all. I am supposed to be on liquids for three days and I am actually having a little trouble drinking enough Water. I am finding it easier to have warm tea than anything cold. I'm planning on weighing myself in a week.

I'm getting a gastric balloon tomorrow so I'm interested in reading what your experience is like. I find reading about other people's experiences really helpful. I decided to get the balloon because after getting my gallbladder removed two years ago i have been putting on a lot of weight and now I have gained close to 20 kg. I have tried dieting but had no results. I am really excited for the balloon and hope that it will work out.
