Thanks, guys!

Diane - yes, the fill is too tight. I'm going in tomorrow morning for a slight unfill. It kicked in yesterday and - wow! I'm doing my best to hydrate myself rather than focusing on Protein.

Good luck to everyone!!! :)

I went in this morning to get a slight unflll - .3cc - and now feel 100% better. Chris (the nurse practitioner) pulled out .2cc then had me drink some Water. It still hurt a little (golfball feeling) and I was so thirsty so stuck the needle in, took all of the fill out, then had me drink the 16oz. bottle of Water that I had with me. Then, she pushed it all back in, had me drink a little more water, which was still a little uncomfortable. So, after all was said and done, she took out another .1cc, which brings me to .1cc less than what I had in there last Tuesday. That's ok though because I'm probably a bit swollen from the 4 PB's I've had in the past 3 days...ugh! She told me that to give it a few days and if I felt I needed to have that .1cc put back in to call her and she'll accommodate me.

Thanks, bandayed. I'm very fortunate to have a very accommodating nurse practitioner. And, thankfully, my fills are covered for an entire year after surgery.

Good luck to getting to onederland very soon!! You definitely deserve it. *hugs*

P.S. The scale said 197 this morning, but I attribute that to not really eating much the past 3 days.

You guys are kicking a@@!! I'm so proud of everybody. I have to apologize - I started this challenge and then disappeared. I'm doing so badly that I've gone into denial. Needless to say, Onederland is a bit far off for me now. But enough of my pity party - I get a fill next week and all will be right with the world. Great job everyone! ;)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
