If I'm understanding this correctly, you stated that you didn't get filled during surgery? I'm just curious because I did. I believe they gave me 1 or 2cc.

I do owe you an apology. I made an mistake. I guess I was so out of it I thought I heard him say he didn't fill it. I had 3cc's in it and they tried to add 2 more but it made me to tight so I ended up getting just .5 cc's. I go back in 4 weeks to get another adjustment.

Ok girls I have a question. I purchase Welchs grape juice because on the package it said no added sugar.......why I look at the ingridiants and it says 45 grams. I read more and its saying its the natural fruit sugars. Is that bad? Should I not drink it?

This is only my opinion, but I think you should not drink it. I think your beverages are supposed to be calorie free except for skim milk. If you really want the juice, or since it is already in the house maybe add a small splash of it to your Water for a little flavor. I like to add about two tablespoons of orange juice to a big glass of ice water. Also know I have not been banded yet. I'm a wanna be :)

Dr. Hollis suggested that I purchase lite cranberry juice. I did for a while and stuck to drinking tea and coffee.< /p>

      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? 🤷‍♀️
