Today is 29 days in week 4, minus 14lbs., 1 fill completed. I feel fine but my energy level is down and I am very hungry. I have no restriction yet. This is not an easy journey. I must admit that I have not begin to exercise. How are you doing?

I'm 8 wks post-op today. I get hungry a few days after a fill because the band relaxes a little. My dietician/nurse told me that if I felt like I could eat a cup of food, to do it. I don't like that. LOL. So...sometimes I snack on low-carb, high-protein cheese or mix up a Protein Shake or drink more Water to stave off the hunger. I started light exercise within a couple of weeks of my surgery...mainly just walking. Now I'm up to jogging some on the treadmill and back to my weight & ab machines.

Best wishes and blessings to you!

Today I am 4 weeks plus 1 day. I actually feel very good. I do get hungry but at 4-5 hours which is when we are supposed to I think. I eat only solid Protein and something else small. I stay at about 3/4 cup per meal. I have not been exercising and I know I should but am just not motivated in the evenings.

I am down about 19 lbs so far which I love but I do struggle with one thing....bm's. I can't seem to get anything "moving" regularly.

I am 3 weeks post-op tomorrow and down 30 lbs (counting pre-op). I am doing pretty good. I do get hungry between meals but I just drink lots of Water to combat it. I am walking with my fiancé on the weekends tons but not much really other than that. I am clear for the pool in one more week and as my pool is heated and hot tub is amazing I am very excited to start swimming! I have a free gym at my apartment as well but don't like going by myself so unless I find a work out buddy I'm not gonna do that at least for now. I still get sore around my port sometimes but over all doing really well. Getting my first fill this Saturday so hopefully I won't have to "white knuckle" it so much!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
