Woohoo congrats

After a fill i was back to regular activity. I drove myself there and back. I also do my regular exercises. Good luck Wendy

could be too tight or have you tried eating less? you said you were full yet you finished the shake anyway. Thats how we were brought up that darn clean plate club. 5 would take a day or two of eating less and chewing more . If that doesn't work you could be in need of an unfill. Wendy

a little dry a needed to cut it small but worked

i cannot eat any rice. Guess you will have to try yourself wendy

congrats and good luck. Having mixed feelings is pretty normal. Good luck ask lots of questions and give us an update. wendy

Eating salmon i need some sauce. I go with the flat fishes like flounder or sole. The others get stuck for me.

i do a shake or nothing wendy

Had reflux and got a slight unfill did the trick

very interesting. playing now wendy

First the swelling has to go down so it an take time to feel. You not feel total restriction after one fill you need a bunch.

Walmarts fortress is good and inexpensive. An esy way to track is my fitness pal. If will track calories, salt, sugar, carbs etc of all your foods. Lots of us are on there too. Good luck and great job so far. Wendy

soups sf ice pops sf jello pudding powdered shakes with sr instant pudding for flavor change

you may need an unfill or after each fill there will be things you can and cannot eat anymore. Scrambled eggs are out for me. I can only eat an egg over easy. Left overs are difficult. No more bread , rice or pasta for me. After a fill your body has to heal then when it come into effect you will find out what you can eat. You may chew something to a pulp but if it is too dry it will get stuck. chew chew chew, small bites and moist and it still may get stuck. Sometimes it is ok today and not tomorrow. Fickle fickle band! wendy

I was up to 40 min walks after 1 week. Advice- take a cell phone incase it is too much and you need a lift back. Don't apologize for it either. People don't understand that although it is laproscopic it is till surgery and your body needs to heal. Remind your dad you did this for you and will begin exercising and how long when your ready not when he is. Wendy

I agree with carolina and floridays. When someone asks me how much I have lost I tell them I do not measure success like that. There are two people who know how much i weigh me and the dr. Some ask what size clothes I am and Either i tell them or I say I'm in between. Wendy

Yup not in mourning for things. Chocolate chip cookies are good some days not others. 1 of them did not get any of us here. Its too many of lots of things. Actually thought i mourn bread and rice but not really. Enjoy life!! Wendy

i agree with all of the above. The chest thing is being full you need to find a happy medium before that. I cannot eat scrambles eggs anymore just 1 egg over easy and 1/2 a piece of bacon

Heat effects my band. Every is different .

Sounds like you need some out. Call yor dr and talk to him/her

I was told the elliptical and weights at 4

You are healing and will be for a while. Give your body a break. Sip slowly and in a little while you will be eating food. For now try to relax and use pain meds if you need them. Walk as much as you can good luck Wendy

woohoo
