Hi Rachel,

Glad to hear everything went great for you too! Like Kristi says, walk, walk, walk! Get those juices flowing and get back to the grind, only of losing weight now instead of gaining.

As Kristi also said, weight loss is minimal until we get that first fill. Mine is May 15, but even without the fill, I am losing and seeing a big difference in the front and rear end of me!!! Feeling, good, clothes fitting better, and I am ready for a new wardrobe.

Where do you go for your fills?

Take good care,

Peggy

How is everyone doing? Two weeks post op and doing pretty good.

Had a minor stuck event this evening but the food passed. Definitely have to chew it well!! It was the first time I felt a restriction when swallowing! I was eating cut up chicken but not puréed so it was my own fault. Fortunately it passed within a min or two.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Hi All,

Hasn't been much activity on this post for awhile! How is everyone doing? We should all be healed and on our way to losing a few here and there. Have been stuck in this 221, 222, pounds for over a week. Had my first fill on May 15th and can't say I'm feeling full after two or three bites. Have had the food stuck after going down my throat, hurt for a while, then it went down. Other than that, have not been exercising like I should, maybe it's time to really kick that in gear, maybe it will get me under the 220 mark and put me in the teens!

Stay in good health.

Peggy

I'm hanging in there. Not much true hunger but some mental hunger. Down 39 from the start of this process and 14 from surgery. I have my first full in week. I'm back to the gym but not doing abs yet. I do best on my days off, at work I think about food more! Strange

Hope everyone has a good holiday weekend!

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing.

I'm down 22 lbs from surgery, 48 total. I did have a complication though....I developed gall stones and had to urgently have my GB out. 2 surgeries in less then 7 weeks is not fun! I had just gotten back to 100% and then had this. But I will say the GB surgery was easier and I could resume my regular LB diet.

Hope all is well!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
