Hi bjr,

Hang in there and discuss with your doctor about a more aggressive fill at the visit. Perhaps the doctor has a good reason and that would be great to share with you. My first fills were much more aggressive and now I am getting tiny fills when I get them (last fill was .2ml).

Hang in there, when you get dialed in the restriction will really help with managing the food. In the mean time keep up with your Water, exercise and getting the appropriate amount of rest, it really does help.

You can do it!

Happy banding,

Mary

Well, it's coming off slowly, but I'm getting there. It's been a rough month for me, we had 12" of snow, I twisted my OTHER ankle, still in a brace sometimes, so haven't been able to walk this month, however having said that another pound closer to Twoterville!

Went to my first support group meeting last week as well. Can't wait till I'm in the banded bunch!

WYD,

I am assuming based on your screen name that you are a man? Well, 3.1 lbs. per week is not unreasonable thinking in that instance.

Good luck!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
