Well.....I guess I'm going to need another fill.

My weight just isn't moving.....and thats with me walking for one hour every morning. I have started keeping a diary of my food intake and weight. It seems the only days I lose weight is when I dont eat anything solid like meat. If I just have Soup of salad I do better.

I'm sorry Terry. I know it is frustrating. I had to have 3 fills and I still have only lost another 5 pounds since then. Everything gets stuck so I know I can't have another fill. I need to choose better I guess. I pretty much eat what I want, just a lot less. I guess I need to go back to all rabbit food to speed things up. Anyway, I hope things start moving again. I'm sure with your next fill, it will. Take care, Kelly.

Kelly,

I feel the same as you. Everything gets stuck, so thats why I have been eating Soup, salad, ect. I have been throwing up 2 or 3 times a week....every time I try to eat meat; you know chuncky things.I'm fixing pork chops today and I'm going to eat one even if I have to put it in my food processer .

Sometimes I feel like I could use a fill. Thats the days I feel like ( was that a lot I ate ?)

I probley eat one cup of food per sitting on the good days.

I got up at 4 am to walk this morning. Its getting hotter.....

Talk to you soon...on the first Monday. ;)

Terry

I live south of Springfield, IL and I just met with Dr. Max Hammer who'll do the procedure at Memorial Hospital in Springfield, IL. He'll do all of my fills etc. They have a great informative pre-op program in place and gave me a three ring binder filled with Lap Band infomation and what to expect. It is really great to be so informed months before I'm having the procedure.

Hey there! So glad to see a reply. I was banded by Sid Rohrscheib in Clinton Illinois. His office and staff are great and the other doctor that works with him actually was banded himself. Your sis should check him out.

He banded me! His office is wonderful! I'm in Champaign, didn't check this area until now..

Anyway, when I got gallbladder issues after my banding they were wonderful. They took over and got me scheduled for tests and surgery and stuff ASAP and even gave me instructions for what to do if I had to go to ER to have it taken out on the weekend or something (I was really sick). It was an impressive level of care.

So I was wondering if anyone here happened to know of a good place in the area to buy big shoes? LOL, I'm a big boned girl, in addition to well padded ;) And with my size 12 feet, it can be a challenge. I don't like payless shoes since they tend to fall apart on me. I usually buy online. Sometimes I do like to try things on. I also have pes cavus (high arches) and that makes me picky some times, so I was just curious... Shoes always fit, you know :) I'm not exactly buying many clothes these days.

Oh, maybe I should introduce myself. Ok. So I'm 24, live in Champaign with my Hubby. We're newly weds, it will be one year in August. I'm a grad student-- I start full time in August at the Library Science College. I did my undergrad here too, so except for the year I studied abroad, I have been around a while. I have some interesting neurological issues that keep me on my toes (or in bed): I'm narcoleptic, I have fibro, and Asperger's. I'm excited about losing weight and getting healthier and stuff. Ok I seem to have written a novel here...

      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.
