Oh....excuse me!

Ezma, I have to admit - it's pretty nice. I've got so many people calling me "skinny" now - which I'm clearly not! It feels good though, it makes me acknowledge all my hard work.

However there is a down side... I feel like I have to work twice as hard now just to lose a couple pounds. I swear, I went up and down between 239 and 236.5 for a total of nine days. Finally this morning I was 234.5!! I felt like I won a gold medal or something... Weird, I don't remember having gone through this much weirdness every other time I lost weight. Well, I guess it will be worth it in the end because that will be weight never to be seen again!

Ok, I could go on forever -- so I'll end this now.

I have never burped as much as I have since WLS. Really long loud manly burps too. Seems to me that it is after I have eaten when the last of the food is going down, I feel like I could burp for England. I use it as an indicator of how long it takes for the food to pass through the pouch.

Only problem is that now I am used to it, i forget that other peole might be offended and sometimes forget to hide it.

That is embarrassing!

I could never EVER burp pre-surgery...now I sound like a teenage boy!

I am so pleased that it is not just me!

Hmmm... try this on for size.

So, I get my next fill today - thank goodness - well, as I'm walking back to my car, I let out a huge belch! I think some lady in the parking lot heard me, and watches me as I grab my stomach. In fact I have been belching ever since...

He only gave me .3, but I can feel it. Now I'm up to 2.8 in a 10cc.

Holy, moly! That's weird. I'm at 7.5 cc in a 10cc band. My doctor put in 5cc during surgery. I didn't feel like the band was much help at all until I hit 7cc. I know everyone is different, but I'm amazed at your success with such a little fill.

Not much burping, but hiccuping...oh yes. Especially if I eat too fast. But usually when I start hiccuping, it's a sign that it's time to stop eating.

Well, things have been going pretty slow for me. In fact I really should update my tickers. Come to find out my new scale under estimates by six lbs. I'm over the shock. I went back to my old scale and I count down four pounds. No way am I counting UP!! :biggrin:

I normally don't fix my tickers to go up if I'm going through a little gaining spell, but this is different.
