Hi, how did your day go today, more comfortable?? I am still having trouble with the soft foods, liquids are a bit better, but still have to sip super slow. I thought it would be better today, I filled on Monday, but maybe I should of call the doc. Weight is about the same, first 1 1/2 day weight of 3 lbs to almost 5 has csme off, but not more from day 3. I am not hungry, but I am getting thirsty, but have to be so careful. I hope you are not the same place I am at, suffering, if you are,.... what are you going to do? wait? Any advice appreciated. good luck

Tell me how did it go? the unfill, did it help with the symptoms? I thought I was going to call the doc today, had the fill on monday, still cant have soft foods, liquid is somewhat difficult. Please share your outcome. thanks Patti:huh2: -
Can you please tell me what "real good restriction" is? Does it mean that you can eat most foods with care and a feeling of fullness after a few bites??? I had a second fill on monday the 16th, it's now friday and I still cant get soft mushy food down, liquids are ok, Water is find as long as I dont glup it , them I get slimed. I must say..I dont feel hungry. I do drink the Protein drinks for my need protein intake. Just dont know if i really should of called for a unfill of alittle??? Will the fill loosen up next week? What do you suggest? Thanks any advice appreciated Patti with a smile

Glad you found it! Well last nite must of been our nite off! We didnt dance either, although my son kept asking if we were! It was my husband's fault! He loves tennis on the cable ! Anyway, today is another day, so we can start all over! YOU say LA, were you at the blunt of Katrina?, I hope not, that was so sad, and reconstruction has been slow. My heart as many did went to all who lost their homes and loved ones. I can only hope that we never had such a horrible repeat. Take good care, and keep the faith my dear!
Patti with a smile for YOU

It's day 2 and quite honestly, I am tight and I dont mean "tight" as something good!!!LOL:cool: I really dont feel hungry, tried to have scambled eggs for lunch, ,mushed them, they didnt go down, and what little did...hurt like hell!:tt1: Tomatoe soup did great! Down another lb today, 210. 18 lbs gone since 1/23/09, happy about that. I will try to stick-it-out till Friday, if not dealing with hunger, I will make it. If not got to call the doc, to unfill a bit. I can now say I know something about PBing and sliming....and it is not fun!:sneaky: Let's see how the next couple of days go.:w00t:

I explained that PBing is like burping with a small amt of vomit.....like what you ate wants to come up, but there is burping that continues and continues until it finally passes. Productive burping.....it is not fun. this last fill has proven to be a good one...a bit tight still, but getting some liquids down much better than the last couple of days. I think I will not call the doctor. As for working out, well, my son and I dance nearly everyday. It is so much fun. I wish I had a walking buddy. The folks in my neighborhood are all much older, so that isnt going to work out. I need that extra push.
Good that you are trying to get the walk in, how ya doing on the Wii? take care keep me post on you finding a new walking buddy. Where are you located??

I wish you all my best, and you sound like you have your wife's best interest at heart. She may be a strong woman and make it with her own diet plan, or work off your new diet intake, that in it self is a big change for both. My husband is so supportive of my new journey, he feels bad eating his meals in front of me. He is hoping that his portions will get smaller as he watches mine shrink. Together we share ideas of how to watch our intake. Now if I could just do as much exercise as he, but that will come. I pray that your guilt fades, your BROTHER would want you to get healthy and enjoy life. We all deserve to be our best, we owe it to ourselves, our partners, children. God Bless Patti with a smile

Good luck to you, I cant believe I had my band done almost 2 months ago! BEst thing ever! It's a good tool, as you will find. As far as protein drinks, I did fine with having the Isopure with 40 grams and also picked up some Atkins and Slimfast high protein drinks at Target. They also have the chewable calcium, those are so much better to get down. Jello and pudding and popsicles. Broth soups. Best of luck, you will do fine. Please walk after the surgery, it really does help with the shoulder pain, discomfort. I walked that nite, and moved the next day too. Keep us posted on the journey. I am now down just about 20 lbs. no pre op diet. Patti with a smile

great for you, I need to get to the gym! but i have been dancing with my 5 yr old son....we play on the Wii Dancing with the Stars. Tell me about the Zumba dance? is it hard to do?? I was never so good with steps. Patti

My understanding of PBing is when you have what you just ate trying to come back up, somewhat like vomiting, along with that sensation is the burping. PBing :Productive burping with the feeling of your food trying to come up. It is not fun! How are you doing??? My 5yr son and I are now dance partners! Dancing with the Stars....Wii game totally fun!

Dancing with the Stars is so much fun! gets you sweating and honestly, you loose track of time! LOve it! OMG, I have been exercising!:lunch: Patti with a smile -
Ok, back on track. Second fill 3/16 +1.7 cc current weight 211 lb goal set atr 200 lb for April fool's, just might make it!! If not, I am going to get as close as I can!!! I had stalled at 213 x 3 weeks. So, glad to see the scale move again!:lunch:

Ok, I got in a bit earlier for my second fill, yesterday 3/16, thank God....the hunger was getting pretty much. No portion control, and stall of weight loss, even with some exercise. So, now I feel a bit tight, having a bit of difficulty getting even the soft yogurt down. I am going to try to make it without calling the doc to unfill. I think after my stomach heals from the additional 1.7cc, I will be ok with eating again. Not hungry, mind is clear...no grazing, I think I will be fine and even might find my new total amt 6.4cc in my band, just might be the right amt for this month. Oh, got the Wii game.."Dancing with the stars" and love it. Time goes so fast when you are having fun. I have found myself sweating, that's a good thing. Patti with a smile:smile2:

Yep, I am at about the same, alittle tight, I think. I will try to make it through, think it might be helpful in a couple weeks. Last fill, which was my first fill, by 1 week I was feeling hungry again. So, think I will try my best to handle the tightness. I can get liquids and soft down, but it is somewhat uncomfortable. I was stalling with the weight loss, hope this helps me learn smaller portions and the feeling of full. Good luck to all of us with recent fills. Patti:smile2: -
no regrets, he will be the President we needed to have to clean up all the crap left behind. I respect him for all the effort he is putting into our country, we will rebuild and make it a better place for our children. OH< YES WE CAN!!!!:scared2:

I have finally visited my Wii again, it's lots of fun. I am curious about the Dance with the stars game, it's a Wii game. Maybe I can learn some sweet moves before my 30th class reunion. I have not danced in so many yrs!! sounds fun. Patti with a smile:lol: -
not for long......I am the winner

OMG i tried to have some bread yesterday, it just about got stuck, and it hurt, hurt. Not going to try that again. I was curious, so I had my burger on bread, cut it in half, tried to chew good, but it was not to happen. I have not tried pizza, so think that is not going to happen either. have not gained, but have not lost either. Still stuck at 213, good but wish I could just get down 3 more pounds.
