Out me down for 261 only 1 pound this week, I know we should be happy with that but it's difficult. I've had a hard time this week been I've been hungry between meals they just don't stick very long, in the evenings I have a protein shake about 8pm but that just isn't doing it I want something else and I end up trying a little bit of a few things but none of them do it. I'm not sure what my body is wanting but what ever it is it's not in my house. Five weeks till my next fill (every 8 weeks) I hope I get over this hump it's disappointing for me to have no to low weight loss but I really want results to show at my Dr's visits.

With all the typos I'm suprised you could make sense out of my post.

Ok gotta laugh at this one....has anyone else been told that someone can see their weight loss in their ears......LOL Today one of my coworkers commented about my left ear being pierced sasi now that I've lost weight she can see the holes and couldn't before. While laughing abut it one of my other coworkers said she noticed last week but didn't mention it........ I was so darn fat my earlobs were fat.......

I wish I had an answer for you. When I went for my first fill and drank the water the Dr asked how it felt and the only thing I could tell is that I felt it stop part way down then a gas/air bubble come up and the water go down. It felt like htat every time even the last time when I finally said fine. Now one week later I've feeling soe restriction but able to eat mor then the 1/4 or 1/2 cup wwe are suppose to but still not as much as I used to.

I'm at 262 this Friday.....

Not to much problems with food I got stuck once I was on the road traveling back from Ohio stopped and got a couple of chicken strips at a couple bites of the first one and it got stuck I drank some water everything came up after about 20 mins and I was fine. I prepared for a full liquid diet and was put on clear liquesd my first 2 weeks after surgery so a lot of the stuff I got wasn't used. For protein shakes I'm using Body Fortress from Wal-Mart (to mix wiht milk) and I got Isopure Alpine Punch from GNC (for clear liquid stages). Got my first fill last Tuesday it went well he didn't put in as much as he had planned he was going to do 4cc but I ended up with 3cc.

Phenry How's everything? I think this is standard for Norton surgeons I had to do them, it was no big deal I was so afraide to do them the nurse from my insurance company was trying to get me home health care to help but that didn't work out. they are not hard to give they are ready filled you just remove the cap do the injection the needle goes back in to the thing and you put it in a sharps contianer that they will give you when you are released fromt he hospital. If I can do it anyone can.

myturn You are doing great. I understand you rfeelings vry much remember I had that really bad post fill diet well it's not sticking I'm not doing bad but I had to have some food. Anyway I'm feeling very disappointed in myself and eve went up a couple pounds but the Clear liquids and Protein drink thing didn't work on the road this weekend. I added a few Soups and soft foods probably more than I should have. sorry this in turning into a confession not an encouragement. Take the small victories on the road to the big prize. Yesterday on the way home from my mom's we stopped at a gas station with a food resturant attached and I sat in one of the booths there and realized that 2 months age I couldn't sit in one of them these are the things we need to grasp as we move forward. We are in the same boat and will see the shore again hang in there.

I think this qualifies. We've been massively ignoring the weed eating when mowing hte lawn I cna push the mower all over the yard and that's been getting easier but today while my otherhalf was mowing the yard I grabbed the weedeater and got it started, hasn't been used this year and maybe last year. Anyway I was able to do our entire fence and all around the house last time I pickedup the thing i could barley hold it for more than a few minutes.

I got a Realize Band put in 4/10/09 so far so good my Dr. is very conservative on post fill diet that the most distressing thing for me right now.

I have not had any issues wth my pills yet except they warned me about taking htem all at once like I used to so not I put them in a cup and take them one at a time. Some of my bedtime pills are really large.

Ok now remember las week I didn't lose anything....Tuesday when I went for my fill I had made up for that and since then I've been on liquids so this is a loss over 2 weeks and after most of the week on liquids...in...out.... Today I was at 263...I glad for the lower number but at first the post fill diet my Dr has me on I have to lose until my body goes starvation mode.....

I had problems with my port incision after teh steri strips came off there was about an inch that came open. I went to the surgeon's office he put more steri strips on it and they stayed for a coupe weeks then came off as they do when they came off I got butterfly strips at the pharmacy cost about 2 bucks put those on but the rash from the adheasive was so bad I finally stopped using them and jsut left it alone let Water run over when I showered it has finally developed a scab. I got filled on Tuesday and found out that it was right over my port so he went in a little ways away and fished over to the port was a bit uncomfortable but not to bad. LIke the othrs have said if it's bad talk to your Dr. you don't want any suprises on fill day.

I know I was marveling at that a couple weeks ago when we went out for lunch.

Is this like the inch to pounds theory.......:smile:

My surgeon will not operate on you if you smoke.

Oh the fill....well it went pretty well my port is directly under my incision at the place where healing is a little slower. Soooooo the doc went in about an inch from it and kind of went at it wasn't to bad just minor discomfort. BUT the post fill diet is going to be hell (sorry can I say that) I've attached it below it's also in the First Fills thread I'll complaining about this for weeks......:cursing: FillInstructions.doc

Well that's what I was thinking nope not for me.

That's what I did, well not with scissors but went out to the work bench with a pocketknife and made a new hole. I'd like to skip over the next size and wear the prefectly good one hanging in the closet. But for the last 8 years I've had to buy bigger and bigger belts.

Someone may have mentioned this and i missed it - Do Not Follow Your Mothers Advise Based on Bypass. I'm sure she means well but in my preop class there were bypass and band people and the post surgery diets were very different. For example Band paitents strained soup don't eat the solids bypass strained soup eat the solids not the liquid. Go by what your Dr. gave you.

I haven't smoked for nearly 29 yers but I live with a smoker and if they did that kind of test...first they didn't tell me they were testing for that and second I got my surgery so I passed. Did you tell you Dr you were a smoker if so ask him how long they can tell.
