That is terrible! Good luck and keep up informed!

I am trying not to eat too much but I know that I am... I am walking.

Stacey, we have the same last name! I understand.. I have lost 35lbs but nothing for about a month and i can eat a lot.... it will get better!

So I have had my first 2 fills (3rd one next week). I am still hungry all the time and can eat as much as I always did. I have not lost any more weight. But I have not gained any either. Should i still be losing and not able to eat much?

I posted this on another board with no responses... What happens if you drink a carbinated beverage? What about beer or wine?

What happens when you try to drink something with carbination in it? What about beer or wine? I just had my first fill.

No numbing... I think i am sore b/c I bruise very easy and I can see it already....

So I went in for my first fill today and he couldn't find the opening to the port... he kept saying, "I can't find the damn thing!" Then he thought it may have flipped.. I started to mentally panic... flipped port = another surgery... but after moving the needle around for about 1 minute he found it..... I never realized that there would be a weird feeling when you got the fill. He asked if I felt it, and it felt like gurgling going all the way up from my belly to my throat..... Weird! I have felt nauseus that rest of the day and am a little sore.

Tonight I went to Target and bought a couple shirts. One was in the women's department but i went from a 20/22 to a 16/18. Secondly, I bought my first shirt in the "normal" girls department... granted it is a XXL but that doesn't matter. I have not been able to buy anything in that dept. for years and years..... I am sooooooooooo happy!:clap2:

Mine is not until the 29th. I am very hungry right now, so I hope I can feel some difference when it happens! Happy Thanksgiving!

My face and then my chest!

I just went down a pant size. That is the first time that has happened to me in... well..... EVER!

I hit my -30lb mark today AND went down a pant size! I am sooo excited! This is the first time I have ever lost weight!

I am so sorry to hear about your home! Please keep us informed.

Mine was Liquids for 2 weeks... Mushies (refried beans) 2 weeks and the the 5th week real food.

I have found pasta is fine, but bread gets stuck VERY easily!

beans but too fast I think.... I could feel it stuck in the middle of my chest and it wouldn't go down.

I asked for the 2 cook books that amazon has... hope they are under the christmas tree.

I got stuck today and it was scary! I ate beans too fast! I am scared to eat again...

it was hell!!!! I was so scared! I tried to take a drink to help the food go down but then it just made it worse. I couldn't breath and really started to panic! What are some things that you do to help through this?

I had terrible gas pains... they sent me back to the hospital... walk as much as possible, hot showers helped to take my mind off of it... and laying on my left side really helped for some reason. My dr. says when they get bad lay down but keep your butt in the air b/c air rises and it will get it back to your belly.. try that.... but the left side worked the best for me....

Good Lord:eek:! That is hell! Hang in there!

2 weeks liquid 2 weeks mushies week 5- solids.... Can't wait until Wed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am just starting to eat solids again. We are going out to a seafood place tomorrow for my dad's birthday. I do not care for fish. Is there any other seafood that you have found that you can eat easily??
