  1.    I love lucy lover reacted to a post in a topic: when is a fill a final fill
  2. THANKS for all the great advice I have a lot to learn
  3. I had surgery Nov. 2nd, 2012 I have lost 42 lbs. I had my 2nd fill last week and now I want to know how do you know when you don't need any more fills. I can tell a big difference this time but not sure it's enough.
  4. Do you mean 3---5oz drinks or 35 oz of drink I drink a 14oz bottle of protein 3 x's a day that's it for me I get a sf pudding, popcicle or jello in between, I have had tomatoe soup but next day I have a weight gain fluid I think I think this is all trial and erro I have talked to people who say 1 day you can eat something and the next day it makes you sick just get plenty of fluids of some kind is what I was told. Good luck at the Drs.

  10. From my understanding some have it some don't, some get over it quicker than others. Me 6th day still have some mostly at night I feel part of mine is reflux, but walking helps, have a big belch massages and heat have helped me as well. It soon will pass but try to walk walk walk. Best wishes to you both and take good care of each other.
  11. Good luck to all have surgery today and tomorrow, day 6 post-op for me and just saying it does get better each day LOL
  12. Thinking of you praying all goes well, be safe on the roads
  13. Congrads to you it gets better each day ---day 6 post op for me doing well, going out , discomfort almost gone still have to be careful in some of my movements, liquids are going down better
  14. Glad you are doing well so far it gets better
  15. Don't get nervous girls surgery is over and you know nothing about it, you will be sore and as many have said not really pain but discomfort , no you will not be able to turn over in bed for a couple of nights, and yes it hard to get anything down the 1st couple of days my Dr say get in what you can but be sure to hydrate as much as possible. My 5th day today and feeling better each day, still can't get all the protein drinks down but have a want for something in my mouth, sf jello and puddings helps but can't wait for my mush !

  20. Good luck to all who have surgery in the next few days and weeks. I'm 4th day today post surgery, feeling much better yesterday, got most of my protein in and water,sf popcicle, and sf pudding. Slept on my side some of the night and I'm going out today to play cards with friends. The discomfort does go away, I still have some but much better than 2 days ago. Again GOOD LUCK !! I will look for us on face book
