tomorrow's surgery, scared to death?

Hey, I just noticed that I'm now a Senior Member. Is that because I made my first real poop this morning? Is that too much sharing? Dying laughing on my end.

New subject: My friend, Karen, just got back from her first fill and told me all about it. Wild, simply wild.

Dr. Lopez charges $50 for the fill plus $100 for the xray (plus traveling expenses.)

I found a doc in Vegas. He charges $150 for the initial consult, $300 for the fill, plus separate hospital charges for the upper GI. Cha-Ching!

I had 4 chips with bean dip tonight because we have company and I wanted to feel normal. I chew-chew-chewed and had no problem. I also ate noodles today and a little tuna fish. I've lost 26 pounds but I don't think I'm eating enough. I'm afraid to eat till I'm full.

Such a good attitude

I don't think I'm eating enough. I'm afraid to eat till I'm full.

I'm so happy for you, both. Once you start seeing how little food you need,.. can make you think/feel full.

Poster girl: Got Protien!! Good job, had chilli tonight

17 and 26 LBS WOW

I'm not having problems getting down any foods. I think that's a problem! I think I ate too much yesterday. This is a very confusing feeling since my fullness is very high, which is the same sensation I used to have when I had a hiatal hernia. Exactly where in the belly should we be feeling this fullness?
