I had my first fill on September 11. That day and days to follow I felt no different. Then on Monday I had made this really hearty beef barley Soup, you could say stew. It was a crock pot recipe and was fabulous. I measured put my small serving and sat with hubby to eat. I toasted some bread for my hubby and tore off a very small piece. Dipped it into the remains in my bowl and thought I chewed it well. And well it happened - it was stuck. Wow, what pain. As an old habit I grabbed Water, well what a mistake that was. Unfortunately it had to come up. Then tonight, while eating dinner I had the same issue with Beans. I tried to analyze was I eating too quick,not chewing well or too big a bite. Not sure but again same situation. Is it possible that after a week, the fill kicked in? Guidance would be appreciated. That pain from being stuck is horrible.

I've noticed the band getting tighter after a fill. Strange but it does happen.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
