Recommended Posts

Yeah !!!!blkgranny.gif

I finally did it 99kilos....UNDER THE 100 kilo mark... icon_razz.gificon_razz.gif

Probably not eating all yesterday due to my aching tooth...( saw the dentist yesterday no cavity but infected tooth on antibiotics next week getting root canal done) well it was worth it to break that barrier..and I am NOT going above it ever again...

The last fill I had hasn`t made any difference it was just .4 bringing my fill to 3.6 I would say they will put .4 in again Friday week and bring me up to 4mls (7mils being the top amount of fill in a 10mil Hage Band...) the doctor said most people find their sweet spot betweem 4 and 5 mils....fingers crossed mine is not far off....

Gotta go off to change my ticker line.... icon_razz.gificon_razz.gif whoo !!!!!

Thanks Karen ... I too miss my computer ..its back yeah ..!!!

Thanks guys ..

Back home and really happy lost 2 kilos in two weeks ..its been 4 months since my banding and I have averaged 5 kilos a month icon_razz.gificon_razz.gif

My clothes are all loose and baggy and its feels GREATtttttttttttttttt...Don`t want to buy too much so wear the baggy stuff most of the time have a few smaller items for outings..

I got a .7 mil fill because I told them I didn`t notice the .4 mil fill last time at all ..I now have 4.3mils and the dietitian assurres me it will SLOW DOWN my eating as thats my problem eating too fast ..(The bands max fill is 7mls)..

I am on soft foods for 24hours so will have a yogurt now (late lunch ) and eggs for dinner..then my normal porridge for breakie ...

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend ....

Marion

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
