So I have never even met you, but I am soooo excited for you. I remember when i felt tht way not to long ago. Congrats to you and have a blessed journey and Holiday!

:thumbup:okay so i am now a little over six months into post op, and i have so much energy. unfort. my back doesn't keep up. as crazy as it seems i love mowing the lawn, have been hiking and even to a few very fast paced concerts. i am now down 81 lbs and can get into a 22, it is an accomplishment. but every now and then i feel like what the heck i still look big, but i remember it wasn;t how i looked that bothered me but what i couldn' do and then i am ok. it is so hard to get everything in and some days i still do nothing but the drinks. i am supposed to go next week for my fill but think maybe i will just discuss the feeking of irratation in my incision instead. i hope everyone else is having great sucesses!

:thumbup:Went to the dr. on the 31st and we had a lil trouble getting into port, i thought I would go up about 2 ccs and he only put in a half. Thank GOD in heaven, I haven't been able to eat since, can't keep anything solid down...I can pretty much keep the shakes and water down, and I am very grateful. I have had heartburn, which is unusual for me. I also had told him that while everything seemed going great, I seem to have some unusal hair loss, so I started Biotin. I am off my bp and cholestrol meds! I have lost some more weight and this weekend went hiking with my family for the first time in 10 years! I will trudge through this rough spot! total loss 70 lbs!!!! :biggrin:yea for me!

:thumbup:okay sorry i haven't been keeping up...been kinda busy with one of my girls(she has a new medical problem)...but have had my second fill up to 5 ccs now and really can't eat much lately...trying to figure out what i can eat with out being sick besides soup...on the plus side i am now down a total of 58 pounds...I hope I am doing well and doing it right...getting most of my protein by my morning Shake.

today I went to receive my first fill...it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be but I wasn't prepared for the in the back of my throat full feeling that it gave me...He only put 3 cc in and I am praying I can eat something later. I go back in six weeks for the second one...keeping my chin up and best to all....
