:thumbup:Went to the dr. on the 31st and we had a lil trouble getting into port, i thought I would go up about 2 ccs and he only put in a half. Thank GOD in heaven, I haven't been able to eat since, can't keep anything solid down...I can pretty much keep the shakes and water down, and I am very grateful. I have had heartburn, which is unusual for me. I also had told him that while everything seemed going great, I seem to have some unusal hair loss, so I started Biotin. I am off my bp and cholestrol meds! I have lost some more weight and this weekend went hiking with my family for the first time in 10 years! I will trudge through this rough spot! total loss 70 lbs!!!! :biggrin:yea for me!

today I went to receive my first fill...it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be but I wasn't prepared for the in the back of my throat full feeling that it gave me...He only put 3 cc in and I am praying I can eat something later. I go back in six weeks for the second one...keeping my chin up and best to all....

ok so i did not get to make my first appointment...what luck, well not really. My eldest has been diagnosed with a blood clot and of course she comes first. we have had to learn how to do levonox injections and stay current on what to watch for, so maybe next week I can make it in between her bloodwork appts. she only has to do it twice next week. So I will post more later. best wishes to all.

I am so looking forward to all the new changes and plan to speak to the dietician on friday too. I am watching and chewing and reminding those around me to chew more and eat slower...i find myself counting the chews, its crazy i know. but i want to be in better health and go forth on this new journey....

Thanks for asking Leslie, I am feeling a little frustrated...I am doing my walkfit and watching what i ingest and i am not losing anymore but at a standstill...is this normal after surgery? I go for my first checkup this friday...as for the comment a picture is worth a thousand words...u look great!!!
-
wow this is cool...and I look forward to the day that I will be where I need to be and have someone remind too. Keep up the great work!!!

Thank u so much for telling me i am not alone...i laugh at how much I chew and pulvarize my food. I am only eating a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food at each meal and concentrating on how much protein it has in it. I have went over some of the various blogs and threads and some of it blows my mind. I think I will always be so conscious of what I am doing, eating and such. But thanks for your input and support as I feel so new to all of this, I can't imagine what to expect when I am filled for the first time.

well, i have survived day 2 of solids, mainly turkey or shredded chicken, cottage cheese, grn beans, here n there. still nervous about next week and wonering if i am eating like i am supposed to. I feel like i have been turned loose on an experiment and have really no direction so we do 1/4 to 1/2 Cup here and there and chew chew chew. i think it is strange not to have anything to drink while i eat but i am adjusting. have started my walkfit exercise 3 times a week. and i am getting a little stronger. look forward to next onth when i should feel normal again. still losing a little and happy with it. best to all

u look great!!!! keep on the journey and take care -
u are so much braver than i am...i am absolutely terrified of the possible heart attack feeling for a few hours. i went to the thread what are u eating...and was amazed at some of the things people can eat...i don't know if i will ever be able to eat the same again. and i find my self thinking hmmm now how much protein does this have,lol.
