Val, I too have been having horrible heartburn, eaven during the day, I have been filled for over two weeks and had no heartburn and now out of the blue I have it and I am wondering if I aggravated my esophogus and so I am laying off the spicy food and drinking milk instead of iced tea, which seems to bother me when I am irritated...I hope neither one of us have to get unfilled again it is getting old............:unsure:

Hey Gang,

Today I weighed in at 274.1 .. I lost 5lbs :Banane08:yaaay me!

I went to the meeting last night and they had the Physical Therapist there ( I think her name is Gerri). She did really good and opened the floor up for everyone to talk and share their experiences with the band and bypass. I also had a chance to see some people who I had'nt seen in awhile and meet some new faces:smile2:

congrats Val, I am down about 2.5, but I never know if it is weight or Water, so I am reluctant to say...do u regurgitate alot, I am wondering if I am eating too much then regurgitating and that is what is causing the heart burn..:unsure:

I now heartburn is miserable, sometimes I am afraid to eat anything!

P.S. sugar free fudgcycles, they are cold and ease the burning

Morning gals

You are all doing great, congrats on the losses.

As for burning, throat... well, that is part of a horrible bug... I hope it is for you guys, it will go away, unlike reflux stuff.

I only have issues when i eat massive amounts of hotsauce so I don't have that problem on a regular basis, I did... LOL but I also got extra wing sauce ever time I ordered for my daughter and I put it on everything. So sad... no more.... but it is a nice treat when I do.

Did you all know that hot pepper(s) help speed up your metabolism??? I add a little cyanne to everything I cook!

Have a good day everyone

Hope u feel better Val, Fudgecycles are better than popcycles lol....Now everymorning when I drink anything my stomach is spasming squeezing so I don't know what that is all about. Dr H. told me not to drink Hot or cold.. but I am not comfortable with the Idea of my stomach going into spasms. does this happen to anyone else?

p.s down another pound this a.m.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
