Happy Camper

Well my Drs visit went well i lost 7 lbs without excersize i was so happy and what makes me happier is i am under the 200 lbs woot woot !

Live and learn

Well i had my first episode of throwing up last night. It was not a good feeling took forever to get that feeling out of my chest. I know it was my fault i was eating to fast and not chewing good enough and it got stuck. I do think its a wrok in process sometimes we feel so good we forget and you have to train yourself to chew well and eat slow. On the brighter side i took out some old clothes and tried them on i was very pleased to fit in them again although i still have a ways to go i am seei

excersize

So i have been dealing with an issue with my foot for months now. I went to the Dr and now they have put my foot in a boot saying it looks like a ligament problem. So my question is will i still loose weight if i am not walking and excersizing? I was just banded on June 1st. :thumbup: I trully hope i do i have done everytjing i was suppose to and i am just hoping this doesnt mess it up.

Slowwwww

OK so i think what happened to me last night was totally my fault i ate to fast. Now that i have a little restriction going on i need to chew and eat slower and i need to be conscience and make sure i do this as i was starting to eat my lunch and got the same feeling as last night so i stopped put my food away then when that feeling was gone i tried eating again only much much slower and counting while i was chewing and it went down no problems . I am glad to have some restriction this time a

Almost time for my 2nd fill

wll think i had my first time of getting food stuck last night. I was eating a burger and didnt get through half way and i felt a feeling in my chest. I got up from the table and just walked around my house grabbing a pepermint tictac and sucking on it. Had my daughter throw my plate out . I couldnt even look at it. The feeling lasted about 10-15 minutes and then after several tic tacs and pacing around the living room the feeling went away. So I am pretty sure that i had my first restriction th

OMG gas

Ok so i am haven extreme amount of gas . I am not in pain but my stomach is constantly gurgling very loud to i might add and i need to fart all the time. Is this normal? I am two weeks post op and still on a liquid diet. How long does this last has anyone elese experienced this?

excersize

Ok i am loosing and walking some . My problem is i do have a bone bruise on my foot it has ben there for ever it seems almost a yr. Although it is much better it still bothers me. I know i should be walking more but my foot hurts , i can only walk on flats to. will i still loose weight if i dont walk alot but am folowing the diet?

A little worried

So my friend laughed at me when i said i cant wait for real food. I am still on a liquid diet right now my second week. She said i will never be on real food again. I will wont i? It will just be smaller amounts and wiser choices right? just not stuff that is ull of fat. I sure do hope i am right and not her.Thoughts anyone?:bored:
