    Sorry, I guess I was not clear. What I mean by problems is since I have gone through surgery and am healing, I do not feel the same restriction as I did when I first got home. I am so scared that as my diet increases I will gain weight. I guess I did not realize there was a period where weight gain could be a possibility. It is easy to lose weight on liquids but the challenge is starting to introduce solids again.

    Congrats on the weight loss. You are looking great.

    I was banded on September 24. Today was probably my best day. I am on full liquids headed to soft but feel like I now need more restriction. I am not feeling as easily full as I did before. It is not the same as pre-band but definitely not as tight as when I first got home. Has anyone else felt this or have I moved my band off, LOL?

    Thank you all for your answers. I greatly appreciate it. I guess I will just have to hang on. I just hear such great results and have seen them immediate post op that I want it to continue.

    Very good. I am glad everyone is moving along. Lets all stay healthy and beautiful.

    Christna150, why do you feel you need the fill? I am slowly feeling as though I need one because I feel like my pouch is not as restrictive but just wondering why you said that.

    I have read many posts comparing the ability of various goods to go down. How does that feel when food has difficulty getting down? What should one expect?

    I had a hernia repair but no shortness of breath. Go to the ER.

    I was having pain in my left flank area at the bra line. No shortness of breath but everytime I bend over I get a stabbing pain. Doctor sent me to get a chest x-ray and blood work. Pray it is nothing serious. Keep me in your prayers.

    Back In The Er

    Thanks for all the good vibes. They have been felt. I fortunately did not have any clots or anything but did have a urinary tract infection (still) from the stupid Foley catheter. It is really keeping me down.

    Is Blending Cheating?

    Wgbem replied to lousianalady's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    My full liquid diet also includes blended soups so I would think blending and making this as soft or mushie as possible should be ok

    Oh goodness this is so scary!

    Energy?

    Wgbem replied to Kkcrowder's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    It is definitely the healing process and the lack of nutrition. I got moved to full liquids and had some soup today and you would have thought I drank Premium fuel. That coupled with it being a nice day made me feel so much better.

    Good Riddance 300Lbs...

    Wgbem replied to PattyGirl66's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I started there too and am close to getting u dee 300. I know you enthusiasm. Like PKB said, I want to jump for joy for you but it will be me and my extended friends.

    My inspiration is my family. I need to be there for them and don't want them to be physical crutches for me. I want to see my own grandchildren one day and to be an active partner to my husband.

    I was going back 2 weeks later but due to the pain at the port site, I just came from my first post op appointment and decided to go back after 3 weeks. I thought I would be just up and running but I guess age does not allow for that, Lol.

    Soup Soup And Soup !!

    Wgbem replied to nikki123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Yes they are called your blended soups. That is on my list.
  20. Wgbem
    I agree with the others. Right now your job is to heal. My husband never had a weight problem so this was never an issue for him but he has been so supportive even more than I could have expected. Soon your husband will see the results and applaud you because this is a very hard thing to do. Hang in there.

    I am glad it is better and it must be a common pain as I am also having a similar pain. I am going to call MD office today but he did tell me that the port is in the area i am feeling pain.

    I say work it.........

    I think all of us newbies feel that way. I feel so not myself 5 days out and asked hubbie the same thing. He said think about the health benefits and they outweigh this momentary sad period. I just keep sipping along and will see my doctor and also let him know how I feel. I am sure this is nothing different than what he has already heard. I appreciate too having people to share this with, what a great worldwide family.

    I am glad you all are doing fine. What is it that we have these hernias? Is it something with weight?
  25. Wgbem
    I cannot tell if I am feeling nausea or just the abscence of food. I always keep a funny taste in my mouth.
