Friday Morning Weigh In August 7, 2009



Recommended Posts

Been a crazy busy summer and haven't been here much. Not lost a lot of weight but 20 pounds from goal. Today my 1 year anniversary and I am feeling great. I am just taking it one day at a time. Must call for another fill soon. Having good restriction but want a bit better. Got to get the last 20 lbs. off by next March. Another grandbaby is one the way. We are very happy. Miss C is growing like a weed and I am having so much fun taking care of her.

I hope all you August 2008 bandsters are doing well. This year flew by.

take care

Pati

I lost 3 pounds this week due to an overfill. I got a fill last Wednesday and it was only .25 and they had to take out .2 due to the fact I could not eat anything solid.:wink2: So my fill was .05. I feel so much better.

Haven't made a weigh-in in a couple of weeks. I am down this week especially considering the climb I made when the doctor took away my Water pill with my BP meds.

I am excited about the future. I noticed in the previous post something about not being able to eat some days. I have those and I don't understand. Then last weekend, I ate a normal small meal, everything went down fine, an hour or so later I was in a tremendous amount of pain. Sharp pains close to the band. They went away but I did liquids and mushies this week. Also, my port area stays tender just about all the time. Are those things normal or should I call my doctor???

I would definitely give your doc a call. You should be able to eat your meals without any pain. Sounds like you could be too tight.

I had some port pain last fall and went in and had it checked out. The pain was from running and it has since gone away. However, the doc was initially concerned that there could be an infection - so I would definitely get an appt and discuss both issues and see what they can do!

No reason to be living with pain! That's no fun!

Oh yeah! I stayed the same this week - but I can live with it since I am not 193!

Hi everyone,

it's great to see all those tickers showing great weight losses. And it's wonderful to see the support still here among the August All-stars.

I am not getting any more fills and am in maintenance mode. I now lose and gain the same 2 lbs, depending on whether I have 'tight' days or 'loose' days.

It's apparently normal, having a few days of nothing going down, and then days when loads manage to get through the band. But you shouldn't be in pain, and I think that needs to be checked out tutormom.

Lellow and Pati, good to 'see' you both. You should check in more often. You're missed.

Claudine, sounds like you're feeling better. Good.

Kristen, so happy for you! ANYTHING but 193!!!

tutornmom, please call your doc Monday. Doesn't sound right.

edel, sorry you had problems last weekend. No fun, I know!

Have a great week everyone.

        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!

      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
