6 months in

:thumbup:okay so i am now a little over six months into post op, and i have so much energy. unfort. my back doesn't keep up. as crazy as it seems i love mowing the lawn, have been hiking and even to a few very fast paced concerts. i am now down 81 lbs and can get into a 22, it is an accomplishment. but every now and then i feel like what the heck i still look big, but i remember it wasn;t how i looked that bothered me but what i couldn' do and then i am ok. it is so hard to get everything i

newest update

:thumbup:Went to the dr. on the 31st and we had a lil trouble getting into port, i thought I would go up about 2 ccs and he only put in a half. Thank GOD in heaven, I haven't been able to eat since, can't keep anything solid down...I can pretty much keep the shakes and water down, and I am very grateful. I have had heartburn, which is unusual for me. I also had told him that while everything seemed going great, I seem to have some unusal hair loss, so I started Biotin. I am off my bp and cho

update

:thumbup:okay sorry i haven't been keeping up...been kinda busy with one of my girls(she has a new medical problem)...but have had my second fill up to 5 ccs now and really can't eat much lately...trying to figure out what i can eat with out being sick besides soup...on the plus side i am now down a total of 58 pounds...I hope I am doing well and doing it right...getting most of my protein by my morning Shake.

first fill

today I went to receive my first fill...it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be but I wasn't prepared for the in the back of my throat full feeling that it gave me...He only put 3 cc in and I am praying I can eat something later. I go back in six weeks for the second one...keeping my chin up and best to all....

long week

ok so i did not get to make my first appointment...what luck, well not really. My eldest has been diagnosed with a blood clot and of course she comes first. we have had to learn how to do levonox injections and stay current on what to watch for, so maybe next week I can make it in between her bloodwork appts. she only has to do it twice next week. So I will post more later. best wishes to all.

thanksgiving

well, i have survived day 2 of solids, mainly turkey or shredded chicken, cottage cheese, grn beans, here n there. still nervous about next week and wonering if i am eating like i am supposed to. I feel like i have been turned loose on an experiment and have really no direction so we do 1/4 to 1/2 Cup here and there and chew chew chew. i think it is strange not to have anything to drink while i eat but i am adjusting. have started my walkfit exercise 3 times a week. and i am getting a little

omg

okay 9 days in and i am still kicking...but really think i overdid it yesterday...i am so tired and sore today, i think i understand why u aren't supposed to drive for 2 weeks. but i must trudge forth, my life is never on hold and i can't believe the holidays are approaching and i have nothing occomplished. gotta get moving. i am still in denial about losing any weight, i can't see it, so i guess it doesn't count. but i am looking ofrward to the first 50...maybe then. one more week and then

day 5

:rolleyes:okay so i am still kicking and have lost most of the swelling,yippee!!! still have muscle soreness in neck, back and legs(nurse is getting back to me on it)...Yesterday was fun, i find myself ready to start baking for the holidays and find if I use the sippee cup(without theat lil plastic thangy) i can get most of my fluids in and hopefully i am getting all the protein. I find that i can't commit myself to any goals for fear of failure and can't wait to start doing more things with my

omg what have i done

okie dokie, so i keep reminding myself it is early and only day 2 after banding, i don't know what i was expecting... i am struggling to keep myself hydrated and moving, i wan't expecting all the soreness everywhere but my incision sites, my muscles hurt so bad in my legs and neck. i don't know how i can eat all the fluids and get the protein i need. and then i am swollen and miserable. GOD I pray i have done the right thing here, I don't know any details and things werent really explained o
