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>

      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!!
