3rd time lucky!

Just been along for my first fill! Had to wait ages for the doctor to turn up which was bad as i was getting so nervous.. so anyway it finally comes round to my turn and i'm shaking like a leaf ( i know.. i'm a wimp..) and then i laid down on the bed and he pressed around a bit to find my port. Once he had found it he cleaned the area then produced this HUGE needle :faint: . He pressed around a bt then put the needle in.. i must admit it did hurt a little bit but not terribly painful then he took the needle out and asked me to stand in front of the flouroscope thingy and i had to drink that discusting stuff and he watched it go down through the florouscope (sp?!) and declared that my band was still wide open! So back i went to the blooming table then he cleaned the area again then poked the needle in again (which actually hurt less that time!) then i repeated as before but this time when i drunk the stuff it didnt go through the band at all so it was much too tight! sooo .. you guessed it!.... back i went to the table and needle poked back in and he took a tiny bit out and then when i stood in front of the flouroscope and drank the yukky stuff it went through just right.. a very small stream so i was very relieved! Phew! he first put in 1cc then upped it to 2 but it was too much so he took out 1/2 a cc then he was happy. so i have 1.5 cc at the mo.. To be honest i prefer that he checked it out there and then instead of just doing the one injection and sending me away wide open.. this way its kinda more accurate! Lets hope i see some results!! I'm on my way to looserville! whoop! :dance:

      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.
