July Butterflies Master Thread

[kimaly 57]

I'm having such terrible acidy stomach problems. I don't have reflux, but I have extremely overactive acid pumps and I've had so much stomach pain in the last two weeks; I think I'm going to ask if I can have an unfill today to maybe help facilitate some healing. I have mixed feelings because I don't yet have restriction and was hoping that I'd feel some with my next fill. On the other hand I don't have restriction now and I'm losing at a comfortable rate so taking the Fluid out of my band wouldn't change much.

I am taking a quadruple dose of Prilosec and have felt no improvement. I hope that the doctor has some kind of solution that can control this ongoing problem. I've always had an overly acid stomach, but I've never felt so much discomfort.

sorry to hear of your trouble, hope you can resolve it soon

I was able to eat some Progresso Minestrone for lunch! Yay!! AND (drum roll please) I think I may be at the so called "sweet spot" since just 1/4 cup satisfied me!

AWESOME! Now what size band do you have and how many cc's?

[Donna113 2]

4.5 ccs in an 8 cc band.

[Charlene K 1]

I am hoping to get another cc on Monday.

Bye the way, Donna, thanks for setting up the "July Butterflies" chat room. I think it will be a help to all on this thread. For you who haven't plugged in to chat room it is 1pm eastern and 8p on Monday night.

[Donna113 2]

You're welcome. Just some clarification: 8:00 PM Monday nights Central so it would be 9:00 PM Eastern on Monday nights. Also the room is not a permanent room so the first person to enter chat needs to create the room.

how do I find the jb chat room? I see 3 listed, but not ours. I was banded on July 22.

The chat room is open!

Well....I tried to go to chat, but when I got there it wasn't listed.:tongue2: I couldn't get on until after DWTS went off. I will try again next week.

I waited around for a half hour then closed it down.

Alright ladies, I'm kinda stuck. I need to jump start the weight loss again, any ideas?

800-1200cal a day.....walk 30minutes a day.....Journal everything that goes into your mouth!.....that's what I do and if I don't journal I eat at least 1600 cals a day. As you can see I am stuck too. I got a fill yesterday. Now I have 5cc in a 10cc band. I do feel more restriction.

Okay, you have any ideas!

Sorry, I got a fill yesterday. I won't be able to chat. I will be home on Wednesday......talk to ya then.

[Donna113 2]

OK, I opened the room for the daily lunch chat. I've lost track and don't remember if it was 11 Central or 12 Central. Anyway, I have to run but the room is up so you may see my name there but I will actually be away from the computer.
