I'm doing okay. I haven't lost anything in a week. Everyday is different in regards to how I feel. I'm not getting as sick as often.

Some days I feel hungry all day and some days I feel full all day.

I've lost 13 lbs in just over a month.

How are you doing?

[aelwillmann 9]

Doing ok. Still my body is holding on and only lost 3 pounds in 12 days. Hoping to lose more soon. I have no nausea and feel fine. Eating solids.

Feeling incredibly ill I haven't been able to keep anything down...I'm losing hope that things will get better. I tried to switch from Clear Liquids yesterday to full and that's when the committing kicked in. Im on day 5 and have not been able to keep anything down of substance is this normal??

[SLSH 24]

That's how I was. It was a week before I felt better. Can you drink Protein Shakes?

[kimico 4]

I haven't tried Protein Shakes yet...I will give it a shot but so far anything I put down comes back up my dr is having me come back in today so he can give me an Iv since I'm so dehydrated.

[kimico 4]

And I've lost 10 pounds in 5 days...that's crazy...

[SLSH 24]

Actually I never really threw up. I'm sorry you're so sick! Hopefully with some fluids you'll feel better.

I still get sick from time to time. Where I feel nauseous and don't feel like eating. I'm not sure why some days I am sick, and other days I feel great.

I am going on week 5. I am down 18.5 lbs and able to eat pretty much anything. I drink a Protein shake with 60 grams of Protein in the mornings, eat a lean lunch and supper. I haven't started exercising yet. I am loving the weight loss!!!

Hi, I've had my Ballon for 2 months now! went to the nutritionist yesterday and I'm down 26 lbs! I only lost 3.5 this last month! That's from eating bad over the holidays! I feel better overall but not 100% like myself! I still feel nauseous everyday and have to take Phenergan! The vomiting is better maybe only once a week now! I'm doing strength training at home but I will start back at the gym this weekend!

Question for the ladies in this group! Do you have trouble with wearing a bra since the Ballon placement? I can't stand wearing any type right now! I feel so bloated all the time so it hurts to wear anything semi tight and around my stomach area too!! Maybe it's just me!

[SLSH 24]

I never connected my bra feeling so tight to my balloon. But yes, it's felt extra tight. Even though my balloon is down lower. And even though I've lost weight through my chest.

[kimico 4]

Yup I avoid wearing clothes at all cost it's getting better though...

Glad I'm not the only one!!
