Bellyfatgone had surgery the same day we did. She was actually at my hospital on the same floor! LOL She had her fill yesterday, and feels so restriction.
They said it will take a couple of times before it began to work. She is still hungry! I was hoping for something to help me with my hunger. I am still sticking to no pasta, rice or bread, and I am eating healthy, but if I am hungry I am going to eat. Let me know how things go on Monday! 
Thank you for your condolences!

I am doing fairly well....I have been super busy so I have not been on much. I am finding it harder and harder to stay on the diet...it is such a challenge. I have absolutely no restriction. Every now and again I feel a little fullness but other than that I can't. I hate it. I can not wait to get my fill on Monday!!! Yay. You are doing wonderful!! That is great!! Keep in touch. I will let you know how the fill goes. I am kinda scared because I can't really feel my port and I am afraid the needle is going to hurt or I may have to go to fluoro to have it done.....

I hope you are doing well! I will finally get my fill on the 16th. Woo Hoo! Still eating low carb. I have been eating more than 1/4 cup at meals, but I stop when I am full. I have not had pasta in months! I miss pasta! LOL
Let me know how you are doing?

Being converted to gastric bypass......
stoney0282 replied to ashleyb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would not ever do the bypass. My mother had the bypass eight years ago. Yes she lost the weight, but the side effects from the surgery are horrible. She had peritonitis from a gastrostomy tube being removed....was in the hospital for two weeks on antibiotics. She had an enormous amount of skin that had to be removed. She had to have a hernia repaired twice due to a muscle herniation that developed in the bypass incision. The GI side effects such as constant diarrhea and horific flatus. She has developed osteoarthritis and anemia. The long term side effects need to be taken into consideration. Hope this helps. -
HI
Doing well. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. My Grandfather died last week. I have been in Philly for his funeral. He died peacefully hugging my Grandmom, so I am thankful they were together, and he did not experience any pain. How are you feeling? I am feeling 100% compared to when I had the surgery. LOL I thought I was going to die that first week! I have lost 17 lbs since surgery. I have been doing a low carb/high protein diet. I did not do too well this weekend at the funeral, but compared to what I would use to eat, I did great!!!! I get my first fill on the 16th, and I cannot wait. I am tired of being hungry( I am actually getting use to it now though!!!). LOL Take care!!!!

Hi Lisa!! Haven't heard from you in a while, just wondering how things were going your way.

I am feeling much better. The pain that I was having was a muscle strain. I put myself back on liquids and really made an effort to not use that muscle when getting up and did not do anything too strenuous and it is much better. I have lost 12 pounds and can feel it:thumbup: I am pretty stoked right now. My first fill is Feb 8th.....can't wait for that!!
