Hello,

I am very new to this chat stuff and I am not sure that I am doing it right or where to find it if anyone replies.

I had my surgery on Nov 7th. Started at 208 and am at 186.

My first fill was a month ago and they gave me 2cc.

I can't hardly eat anything and not get sick. I might have one good day a week when I can eat chili or Soup but other than that I throw up anything I eat.

I am starving!

Any advice?

Heritage jenny, you need an unfill. Pronto. Call your doctor and make an appointment.

I totally agree with that. It seems like a lot for a first fill. But if they did it under flouro, it may just be a problem with chewing well.

I have a major problem with chewing well enough. I have to REALLY work on that!

Good luck to you heritagejenny!!!!!

Hey guys -

I am feeling pretty discouraged. I just had a fill less than 2 weeks ago and the scale hasn't moved in a week.

How are all of you losing? Steady?? How much a week???

My Doc is happy with 1 1/2 lbs a week. He say's on average this is normal.

So I will find out tommarow if that's what I am loseing. I no it's a slow procedure, but,, hang in there. Shirley..

I'm losing pretty slowly too...about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds/week on average. My doctor is happy with that as well, but I would like to see more of a change. Lately I keep losing and gaining the same 3 pounds and it's frustrating! I had a fill last Thursday and I haven't really seen a big loss yet. I think I need to be a little bit better about tracking what I'm eating.

Threebeauties,

Listen girl, it's tough not to get discouraged sometimes. Lord knows I do. But go back and re-read some of your posts! Including the ones you've directed to me! You'll make it darlin'. Just heed your own advice, and that given by all of us that really do care (and we do!). Great Balls of Fire girl! Get up in the morning with a renewed attitude and believe that nothing is going to stop you from meeting your goals. And remember, Shirley is right. 1 to 1 1/2 pounds a week is normal, but don't get discouraged if you don't see it every week. Just stay focused young lady! Old Jimboss is telling you to. We all love ya and are here for you.

~~Jimboss~~

Hey Shirley, I'm doing better than I deserve to be...I'm sure! Isn't it great how everyone in October Bandsters jumps right in when one of us is a little down?!?!? I'm damned proud of all of us. I love all of my October Bandster Angels! Because that's what y'all are....Angels.

I try to eat between 1000-1200 calories, but sometimes I'm way under and sometimes I eat about 1500. I have been using www.sparkpeople.com to keep track of my calories and exercise, but I've just fallen behind. I don't really want to go below 1000 calories and my doc recommends staying around 1200. I have been excercising quite a bit lately too, so I guess I can eat a little more. I'm taking my measurements tonight so hopefully that will make me feel a bit better.

Well were all tryin, hell, even in these winter blues. It's eanough to drag any one down... But just remember Spring is just around the corner. I'll tell you what! Just that thought alone is eanough for me to help "a little" to get over these Michigan Winter Blahs. I got a house up north and I can't waite to get to it. By the time my knee heels, I should be travling up.

Were a great bunch. So hang in there. Shirley...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
