    exercising

    Hey.. well i have a bad knee and now what keeps me motivated is those results... i see my body looking better and i wanna keep that up so i excersize like 5 times a week. and since i have a bad knee i motify some of my work outs. you should definitly talk to your dr and see what excersize would be good for you. i also have found that my knee has been getting a lot better obv. cause of the weight lose but also cause im building the muscle in and around my knee. its hard to get started working out but i promise once you do youll keep it up bc working out is such a feel good thing. its like a high after a good work out. start out by walking a mile or 2.. good luck!

    feelin better

    From the album: A lil progress

  11. ok so i had my second fill on friday. i did the liquid diet for 2 days and i was fine.. monday i went jet skiing and it was really bumpy it kinda hurt my stomach, but the pain went away. Then yesturday when i was doing my crunches i had soo much pain in the center of my tummy right below my ribs. it felt like where the band is and i had to stop. all last night it hurt and today it hurts. i pushed down on that spot and it was hard, i dont know is that was my band or if it was swollen. but im still in pain.. HELP PLEASE!
  12. nope, i asked they said well its another needle, so i was like ok ill just do with out the numbing.. HAHA umm both times i got my fill i got poked 3 times! once cause the fill was stoo much she had to go back in to take some out and with my luck she couldnt get it the second time so took the needle out and right back in.. my 2nd fill the one lady poked me 2 times cause she couldnt find my port at all! she had to get another lady to get it.. soo next time i might opt for the numbing shot instead of feeling the needle 3 diff times.. but im sure not everyone has had this experience.
  13. YOu are in the hardest part post op. its sooo hard not to wanna eat everything BC your starving. You said your hubby doesnt follow the rules, soo let that give you a boost to do exactly what you should and show him he should do it too.. stick with it right now i promise it will pay off. and when you get your first fill things will get easier. i was a big eater as im sure a ton of us were and your gonna get hungry just say yes to the good foods and no to the bad ones and push through the hunger ONLY A LIL LONGER! you can do it!

  17. well i was on full liquids for 2 weeks from the start, but i was hungry also. the hunger pains got bad on day 4 by like day 9 they went away. i think in a few more days the hunger pains will start to taper off.. my aunt told me when i was complaining that the pain is weakness leaving your body. so trust me stick with it you will get through it!
  18. hey, it is def hard at first to get all the water down. and if your still swollen thats why the water is gettting stuck. give it some time and just do constant sips all day. im 2 months out. and i do lke 16 oz b4 lunch 20 to 30 b4 dinner and then some b4 bed. im also a lfeguard so being in the hott sun makes me really thirsty.. i hope that helps.

    2 1/2 weeks post op

    there is no reason to be depressed. 14 pounds in 2 and a half weeks is a lot. and your body is prolly adjusting so your gonna plateau. it happens. i am 2 months out and have plateaued like 4 times. and each time i get so mad but i end up dropping the weight soon after. so hang in there , ur right in the beginning or the process its gonna get much easier and you will consistantly drop weight, if you stop loosing for a week trust me it will come off. keep it up!
