I am going to have to try the more solid stuff also, between meals I find I'm so hungry. Went to church Sun (1st time in a while :/) all I could really hear was my stomach grolling, I know the woman next to me could hear it. Anyway I feel stuck and I flutuate on my weight dailey. Went to the dr last Wed and was down again but on mine shows me being up then down the next day. Frustrating is the word here. I have to quit looking at that scale but I want to get below that 1st number being a 2 and I'm so close but soooooo far away. I have to make some changes because this week has not been good at all. It doesn't help that it's that time of the year when we go to the cc and sit at the barstools watching football for hours on end and I end up saying yea go ahead I do want a margarita or Dt. coke & rum! Fun can be expensive for me plus it's also birthday season for us. Lots of birthdays comeing up and my ext family likes eating esp unhealthy eating. I'm going to have to have a special dish at each party!

I had a day like that Sunday. Our Country club (and it is a COUNTRY club) makes amazing cheeseburgers and I was craving one so my sweet hubby said he would go get it. When he got home I was like a kid in a candy store as I took a big bite I realized I couldn't eat it so off came the bun, ended up just eating the meat and cheese with ketchup but man was it good and I'm over it now. I can't get enough water down, any suggestions?

No my fill was last Mon so it's been a week and I've been able to eat since about Thur, even ate the fish later so I'm thinking it must have been the broccoli. I really haven't been told not to eat anything but everything must be done in moderation and slowly.

POPCORN?????? I can have popcorn? Oh happy day!!

so sorry, sounds awful.

I'm still here, kind of took a weekend off from everything. Both girls went out of town over the weekend so it was a nice quiet break for us. My husband (after we watched the game) took me to bonefish grill for dinner. I had some amazing salmon but today am trying to eat the leftover and can't. Got stuck on what I think was the broccoli and now I can't eat anymore. Had maybe two bites. Does anyone have problems with broccoli, I didn't eat it at the restaurant and tried to today now I feel like I'm going to explode. I'm hoping the break we have all had will get us back on track and help with the issues everyone is having.

Welcome Marie, you are goint to love this group!! It's the best!! You're doing great 34 lbs WOW! Yes we all seem to have those days we don't get enough or get to much. Linda

I'm so sorry that is disappointing but I truely believe your doctor knows best. Hang in there it will be worth it.

I had my surgery in late July and have had problems with getting fills but I have kept myself on a strict diet. My fitness pal has been a great help here. I don't know what your goal weight loss is but I would say from everything I've read 6 months is to fast. My doctor told me to lose it slow it's better for you in the end. I would say a goal of 2 pounds per week is manageble. I finally got a fill and can feel some difference but having to teach myself what not to eat (like at lunch I got stuck) and how to eat very slow. Sometimes I get frustrated but in the end I know it's worth it. Hang in there!

Thank you so much!! Melissa & Kim-great job!!!

I'm not sure but this has been my outlet. I'll tell you this has been one of the hardest 6 weeks I've had in a very long time. My youngest daughter is going through a divorce and moved back in with us the day after my surgery. My oldest daughter is having a lot of problems which I can't go into but it's been very stressful! I told my husband it feels like I went to sleep for my surgery everything was great, I woke up and everything was a mess. My emotions have been all over the place, has anyone else had that problem. I feel like I'm an emotional basket case and that's just not like me. On the plus side I got my Leslie Sanson DVD today and man what a work out! I feel better after getting myself moving but I'll be honest I did not make it through even half of it (baby steps LOL) Please if you are a person that believes in prayers (I do) keep me and my family in yours we are having some trying times. I am praying for all of us in this journey, we can do this!

Thank you ladies, I really don't know what I would do without the encouragement I get here.

Had my flouroscopic xray today they found my port and were able to get the fill in. HALLALUAH!!! I have a major headache but that's probably from stress of the last few days. I have lost a couple more pounds so I feel like I'm on my way now
