    acolebr1 got a reaction from dzelaya90 in Feeling no restriction at all :(   
    I’m experiencing the very same thing I’ve lost 19lbs but when weighed today the scale says I lost 8lbs, I know it’s Fluid because of venous insufficiency by the afternoon I’m 5-6 lbs heavier [emoji45]

    acolebr1 reacted to Berry78 in The Grocery Store Seems so intimidating   
    A shopping list helps, and going to the same store, so you memorize where everything is.
    I had the same overwhelm too.. but the more I went back (for brief trips), the easier it became.
    Make sure you eat before going, so legitimate hunger doesn't make it worse.
    It gets better, I promise! I now enjoy going and looking for "hidden" healthy foods.

    Hi everyone!
    I had my VSG procedure on August 10,2017. I'm feeling really good and I'm on soft/pureed foods. I've been struggling with not feeling satisfied. I've never been the one to like feeling full or stuffed after eating but I don't know what else I can do. I'm trying to increase my Water intake. Does anyone have any ideas?

    acolebr1 reacted to SageTracey in need an unfill??!??   
    That's great, just remember that our doctors etc will be closed over the holidays so don't leave it too late if you realise that you do need an unfill. My surgeon prefers not to do fills in the three weeks leading up to Christmas just in case.

    I had family visiting and i thought it would be ok to have a drink(rum punch). And the day before i ate some mac& cheese.....both of those turn out to be BAD idea's. I have been in the bathroom since 5am. My tummy is sore not to mention my bottom this the worst. I never want to feel this way again. For best results follow directions! No alcohol or food i shouldn't eat .

    Even though i have lost weight without formal exercise. My 2 yr old grandchild keeps me moving. Some funny things are starting:one day i was walking and i could feel myself walking different, then i realized, my thighs were not rubbing...lol. Then while getting dressed for church i put on a suit that used to be really tight and my belly poked thru the button holes....lmao. when i put it on and looked in the mirror.... it looked like i had on someone elses clothes......
