Hi Junies,

OK this is what NOT to do. I was running late this morning, so I skipped Breakfast. Had to meet my trainer for my first workout with him. I took a bottle of Water and he put me thru the motions. And he pushed! I was shaking like jello! lol And close to the end of the workout, i got very nausous and had to run and throw up. It was just water, but I learned we CAN throw up everything, at least water. Up to this point, I have only had a few 'slimers' but never could throw up anything from the bottom of my stomach. Well today I did! Sorry if this is TMI. Had to go to work after that, but i shut myself in the office and did paperwork. Could not see clients feeling like this. I had run to the bathroom 3x now and upchucked a bellyfull each time! Shakey, queasy, dizzy. Wonder whats going on? And I dont dare drink anymore right now. And food...fergit it! Maybe I can sleep it off this afternoon.

Whew! never felt like this before.

I hot 104 lbs today!!!! WOO HOO!! No longer obese, just overweight!! Can't believe that excites me but after being morbidly obese it does!

Wow strike, sounds like you did push to hard. I have felt sick and shakey before but never upchucked. I bet after you sleep it off you will be feeling better. At least I hope so.

Hey everyone! It's been a crazy 9 or so days and while I've been on reading up, I haven't had time to post. Long, congrats on hitting 104!! Since I hit 101, it's been slow going. I'm at 102 now. Things have been really crazy, and I haven't been exercising like I should. I'm sure this has something to do with it :thumbup: I'm so excited to read of everyone's successes! The pictures are great. When I got back and look at my monthly pics, it really helps me see how far I've come. I hope everyone has a great rest of your weekend!!

:thumbup:

Hi Junies,

My stomach is no longer queasy and I dropped 4 lbs!!!! Hellofaway to do it but I am happy. Gonna take it easy today but I think I am over it.

Have a great sunday, all.

glad you are feeling better, strike! i have definately gotten sick (pre band) working out early in the day on an emtpy stomach. not exactly sure what is going on with that phsycially but i felt like you did and wound up taking a sick day that day.

you guys are kicking butt weight loss wise - way to go!!!!!! you must be so proud!! i can't wait to be just plain overweight! i just love that you've posted pictures!

i had the upper endoscopy test and my refill. she put back in what i had before the test but i couldn't swallow Water. so she took out 1cc and the water went down. i'm kind of low on fill level but at least there's some back in there!

the test went fine. i might have barretts esophagus from acid reflux but i really don't know. i just looked up what he told me ('abnormal z-line') and found out that that indicates barretts which is not really good but probably not too bad - he took a biopsy to be sure it was ok - don't know results but i'm sure i would if it wasn't good news. that and spasms and 'dismotility'. basically my esophagus is not happy right now. on medication for a month then go back and see how it's going.

i was happy he ok'd getting my band refilled! on liquids so far and that's working out ok.

the pain in my stomach is gone. just have pain up behind my breast bone and an irritated feeling that i think will subside with more time on the medicine.

happy sunday everyone!

Glad you are feeling better, STrike!!

Allie, where are you? Apples, still on vacation??

I have the scale jitters just like I did wanting to hit 100 lbs lost, now it's wanting to hit Onederland. I have 1.3 lbs to go. I keep weighing myself which I know isn't good but am just so anxious. Then I am going to have to settle down on the scale again. Then once I get below 200, can you believe I could have only as few as 20 lbs to go? My surgeon said anything under 180 for goal, though my 'normal' BMI is 169, so I will have 20 to 30 to go once I get below 200. WOOHOO!

My inlaws are coming for dinner tonight. I am cooking a buffalo prime rib. Never had buffalo before, it was given to us, so I hope it's good. It's MIL's birthday.
