Ahhhh I've forgotten how good eating can be :)



Recommended Posts

Sounds strange huh?

Well I've been over filled for the past 6 weeks and had to resort to eating Soup, soup and nothing but soup. Every time I would try a solid I'd slime and vomit. It go to a point where I got so depressed I'd dream of real food. Granted I was loosing a good amount of weight but thats not the reason I got the band to ONLY eat soup or liquids.

Needless to say I got a whopping 2cc's removed today. My Doc said my previous restriction level was perfect, I said sure if ALL I wanted was SOUP!!!

He was willing to unfill me did it under Fluro so he knew how much to take out, I felt immediate relief. It was like a weight was lifted off my chest. I really didnt realize that for 6 weeks I was living with this tightness in my chest and constand slimage in the back of my

throat.

I can eat now and not be scared. I am concerned about weight loss slowing down or stopping so I just need to be more mindfull of what actually goes in my mouth now. No more high calorie Soups just to meet my daily calorie intake.

I feel good now :)

Yay :) glad to hear it; maybe when you start to get fills again have him go VERY slow and small since your band only holds 4cc.

Oh yes, I know exactly how you felt! I have had to have fill removed 3x. 2x it was the whole fill for a month. One time it was just 1/2 cc. Right now, I am in maintenace, and have nothing in my band,a s I had a slip. (which you should be glad you didn't get).

Just keep up with what you are doing, you should be fine. Karen

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
