goal_will_be_met

Thank you...I called my doctor and after describing things to them they told me to Try a few things because it sounds like I am just eating and drinking to fast. Which I'll admit I don't pay attention like I should...Today has been wonderful ...but I have to let them know soon if I need any help...Mari...how did you know your esopogus was stretching? Thanks for all your help

I am not sure if I am in the green zone or too tight…If your in the green zone are you able to just take sips because to big of a drink hurts going down or comes back up? Same with food. What about gurgling…do you gurgle after each drink even water? I also burp a lot with water when I didn’t before I am just not sure if I am good or too tight…help!

I wanted to say You guys are Amazing! I am so happy that I have this site to turn too because you all helped me so much!...I ended up calling my doctor and then I was fine its strange...I had my fill a week ago and I was fine but yesterday was strange. I also told her how much I hate mornings and she told me to drink warm water or tea so I drank warm tea today and wow it really helped. Anyway thank you all and they are keeping an eye on me cause I may have to go in and defill...Today so far so good! :wub: I hope you all are doing great!

Hi to everyone I just wanted to stop in and say hello. My name is Kanda I am 31 married with one son. I was banded in Oct and have since lost 71 pounds. I am very happy with that and just love this site. I am looking to meet others thats going thru what I am. I can't tell you how many things I have read has helped me on here and its good to know I am not alone! Anyway I hope to meet some new people and talk to you all soon. Have a great day!! :wub:

Aww thanks X! and Thank you all..WT you will lose that much you got this! This place is great to come too as well for support Wish you the best!

Hang in there girl! It sounds like your doing alright for what your going thru. I completely understand how you feel. It always seems the hardest when all of a sudden you can't have something. Keep your chin up you got this!

Congrats!

Whooo Hooo thats great news!!! Happy to hear it

Whoo HOO way to go girl! you look fantastic Congrats!!

I am so sorry to hear that! Hang in there and I hope everything works out for you!

I can say from experience that I haven't gained any weight and I am on them....Def consult your doc to be sure if you feel like your gaining maybe they can switch it up for you. hope this helps and good luck!

As long as your following your doctor's orders your fine. And how you feel is very much normal and your going to be fine. We all tolerate pain differently and I can tell you I am HUGE baby but I barely even used any pain meds which is HUGE because I thought I as gonna be hurting like crazy but I didn't. I went home the same day of my surgery and here I am doing fine. Hang in there and it will get better!

I went in for a fill today and normally it doesn't bother me getting the fill but today when I got that needle poke it hurt bad and then I bled like crazy! This isn't normal and like I said for a person that is terrifed of needles fills don't bother me so not sure what happen there. The reason I went in for a fill was I was to tight then I had fluid removed was doing great then I got a piece of food stuck and puked it up. In turn caused me to swell where drinking water caused me to gurgle and burp every time I took a drink. So they removed some fluid Now I am not feeling well not related to the fill but getting in a hurry I drank to big a gulp and ugh that didn't feel to great going down. Why is it that when we go on a liquid diet for the day of and after is when I want normal foods that I wouldn't eat anyway. ICK makes no sense...oh well guess I am just gonna sit here in misery hoping that its just allergies and not really anything else...hope everyone else is doing good

HEHE I love that show! Thanks this def made me feel better hehe

You got this girl! I so understand your frustration but I bet in no time POOF and you'll be wondering where that fat went ...You look great now btw!! Keep up the great work

Yea thats right I am gonna punch you food right in the face! I am sick and tired of you always winning and in this long hard battle we are enduring is over. I am fianlly taking over my life. Its not live to eat but eat to live. Your just there to nourish me and keep me going. I am sick of letting you consume me when in the long run it does NO good. I am miserable and just sitting and regretting oh why did I do that. Well, no more regrets I am getting healthy and you can just move on. I no longer will hide and make myself feel bad because I will continue to do all the right things and in the end when I am standing on top I will reach my healthy goal weight and live longer and continue to have an amazing life. So Food I give you the middle finger and say buh bye. I will only need you to nourish my body!

hehe thanks Sunshine!

awww I am sorry hon maybe there is another doctor for you! You have come so far! Chin up if there is a will there is a way and I bet you got the will!! Wish you the best

Crosses fingers for ya that everything turns out ok for you....and Great job on preparing you got this girl!

Oh no! I hope you feel better that is just no good. Take care of you get some rest and R&R and start fresh when you feel better!

Funny I woke up pumped today gonna get my workout in and then as the day progressed I got sleepy took a nap got up and was just like forget it. I was just like whatever not in the mood screw it. Then I don't know what happened but all of a sudden I did. I workedout for an hour I just changed it up. I have many workout games for the Xbox Kinect and the Wii. I figured I should add those in along with what I am doing try and make it fun that way I don't give up. I am getting bored with the same ol same. I am really glad I got a workout in. Normally I would take Saturdays off but I haven't worked out this week like I should so I decided to get it in today. I also went ahead and created my menu for tomorrow and get that all laid out that wayall I have to do is grab and eat. Less thinking will help with not over doing it. I think when I don't plan that is where I have the most trouble but we shall see. Regardless its all about baby steps... I need to realize that I am not just going to blink and POOF its gone...I lost the first 67 pounds easily now its time to really do the work. Anyway I hope all have a great rest of your weekend and all that jazz
