genepha 47 Posted February 18, 2011 I had my follow-up with Dr. Billy today and an Upper GI. My plicated stomach looks very good. There was 1 area of concern where Dr. Billy might want to tighten later if needed but other than that all went well and I was cleared for mushies. I drank 1/2 an Isopure during the morning - 80 calories, 20 grams of Protein. On my trip home I stopped for lunch. I ate about 3 small bites of scrambled egg, about 2 ounces of french onion Soup and a couple of small pieces of the cheese on top of the soup. I'm stuffed!! I don't quite know the full signal yet but started sneezing soon after I finished so I figured that might be my full signal. I used to sneeze if I ate too much with the band too. I think I'm gonna start carrying a measuring cup with me! I'm gonna go walk now. Take care, genepha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eureka-C 20 Posted February 19, 2011 I sneeze and my nose starts running and my eyes Water. I try to pay closer attention, but I am really bad about one more nibble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
genepha 47 Posted February 19, 2011 What does the upper GI consist of? xray? Thanks for the update. Glad you are doing so well! Upper GI is like an x-ray but I had to drink the white chalky contrast so the dr.and tech could see it go through my new tummy. They also have this fancy table that lays you down and then stands you back up. It's easy but the contrast tastes nasty!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliviam 3 Posted February 20, 2011 Thanks so far I'm enjoying my plicated tummy much more than when I had the band. I'm back from my plication Genepha and I wanted to email you so badly but I was in awful condition for the first few days and could hardly do anything! I am back to good though and excited to see what my results are. Can I admit that I am daydreaming about eating regular food! I doesn't get to me until I make dinner for my family though.
