Omg! Im In The Green Zone!



Recommended Posts

Ok so I had a fill last week on Monday. By Thursday I got so stuck at dinner that I was in horrible pain all night. I couldn't get anything down Friday thru Monday, not even Water. Went for a slight unfill on Monday morning and was able to drink a cup of water at the doctors office. By Monday evening, I can seem to eat anything without horrible sliming. I had to suffer Thru Tuesday only managing to take in 400 calories. Today,Wednesday, I'm finally able to get another unfill of .40 and hallelujah! I can eat! I get completely full with one cup of food! I'm writing this because in the beginning I wanted to be real tight so that I would lose weight faster. Let me tell you, it's not worth it!!!!!!!!! Being in the green zone and feeling good far outweighs a quick weight loss. To be able to enjoy a small amount of food without throwing up is what this band is all about. So PLEASE!!!! don't think being super tight is the way to go. It's horrible and can only be tolerated for a very short time. Finding the sweet spot is worth multiple trips to the doctor for fills and unfills. Don't be afraid to speak up! I can finally love love LOVE my band!!! :-D

Eight weeks?! You poor thing!!! No wonder you're weak! Thank goodness you're going in for an unfill tomorrow! After an unfill, my doctor doesn't require any dietary restrictions and I'm sure yours will let you know. Be sure to drink a lot of Water before leaving the doctors office just to make certain they took out enough that you can comfortably drink. You're gonna be so happy tomorrow! :-)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
