How are you doing? I've been off track over the past few months but I'm trying to get things together. So far I have lost 65 lbs.... My goal is to drop an additional 15 but we will see how that goes.

Hey I left a message on the July Bandsters site to your question about Ketosis! Hope you are coming along better now.

What is happiness?

That's awesome! How do you know when you find that "sweet spot"? I've had a bunch of fills but still not sure what I'm feeling and if I'm "there" yet. -
Severe muscle/joint pain... scar tissue?! PLZ HELP!
KimmieJean replied to IWANTBANDED's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm afraid I've never heard of this happening to anyone before. I hope Monday your doctor can figure out what is wrong. Please keep us posted. -

always feeling stuck - too full after eating?
KimmieJean replied to mrsboomer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks Astrasmom...that makes sense. I've done more research too and you are exactly right....each time you get a fill, your body has to readjust and there will be some things that you will never be able to eat again. Noone ever told me anything like that before. All in all, it's a good thing because things like french toast is what got me in the shape I was in to need the lab band to begin with! :biggrin: -

It's odd that's happening to you without a fill. Have you talked to your doctor? I had some problems right after surgery and had to be hospitalized and have my esphogus stretched cuz it had somehow closed. I just got a fill last week and I was doing good until yesterday. Now, when I eat, I get that stuck, very painful feeling in my chest. The weird thing is that I've eaten a hotdog and it was fine...I ate fish and a baked potato and it was fine. But last night I tried to eat hamburger helper and I thought i was going to die cuz it hurt so bad. then this morning I tried french toast and same thing happened. I was in so much pain I was yelling at my husband to make me throw up. Even trying to drink Water to wash it down hurt. I was banded back in July, so I know all the dos and don'ts so this is really confusing me. Before my fill, I could eat whatever and for the first 5-6 days I could eat whatever but all of the sudden I can't eat anything. This ever happen to anyone? I'm doing a lot of exercise. I started "boot camp" where I work and there's a lot of running and sit ups...my husband seems to think that I over did it and somehow my band slipped...is that possible? :biggrin: -
How did your second fill go? Do you have more restriction? I have my second fill next week...I hope it helps cuz the weight loss has all but stopped. I've lost 43 pounds so far. Congrats on meeting your 1st goal...that's awesome!! I don't exercise like I should. I've had hemroid surgery and shoulder surgery within 2 weeks of each other so I'm doing more recuperating than anything!! I'm the surgery queen!! LOL Once I get out of this sling I'm gonna get back to the exercise. How about you...do you exercise?

Hello....
I'm doing good. My weight loss is very slow but steady. So far I have lost 23 lbs. I go in for my second fill tomorrow so hopefully I will have more restriction and see more weight loss. I'm glad things are better with you and CONGRATS on the 33 lbs lost! Do you exercise everyday?
-
I haven't been on in a little while....ok, over a month, I think. I have my first fill on Friday (9-11-09) Pre-op 7-16-09 277 Last time 8-3-09 252.8 Today 9-9-09 244 Total lost 33 pounds

Yes, I am finally adjusting and things are going good. I've lost 33 pounds so far. I go in Friday for my first fill. How did your fill go? I am a little worried about it because of all the trouble I had to begin with!! How are things going for you?
-
How are you doing? Are you adjusting better? I go in today for my 1st fill and I am looking forward to it. I will let you know how it goes.
