congratulations to all who are keeping such a good attitude, with and without loss. I do have a question: come afternoon I my stomach hurts and I get nausea (sp) .. .. I am still on mushie food am I not eating enough? how many times do you all eat a day, and what kind of things are you eating? Am I not eating enough or not getting enough of something like Protein or what ever? I know this is a few questions. but I need some encouragement.

Well hello everyone, well I had my fill today and it hurt. :cry The dr. said in a very gentle way that my stomach wall was a bit thick right now but would change later on.:D He was very nice.:tsk: He numbed my stomach, then brought out a bigger needle and I had to look away, again he was as gentle as he could be. Then he said I am not able to find the center of your port. We had to go to X-ray and do the floro something or other. That worked like a charm and I saw the whole thing. That was very cool. Then he gave me a glass of Water and said drink and a bandaid and said see you in 5 weeks. That's it, but my stomach is very sore because of the gouging and probing due to thickness don't you know. I have had worse things happen but am glad it is over and can't really say if I feel any different since my fill. He gave me 1cc in a 10cm band that holds between 4 & 5 cc's. I am still very thankful that I had this surgery done and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Well everyone it has been a long day so I shall type to you lovely people tomorrow.:notagree Night!

I feel a little foolish asking, but what does MILF mean? If it's inappropriate for a public forum, PM me. My curiosity is killing me.

Well my dear. LMAO!!!!!!!! :biggrin1:

Mother I'd Like to F***

My family had pizza for dinner tonight. Smelled so good - I just had to have a bite! So I did. Well, I took a bite, chewed it up and tried not to swallow - then spit it out. How desperate is that! Ahhh - crazy!

I was banded after you....sadly, I can eat pizza. My nutritionist has me on modified regular diet...I think that was a mistake...scale hasn't moved in 2 weeks...ugh only 3 1/2 weeks out. I think I want to try to go back to mushies...but I am afraid because I do get hungry during the day. i can't wait till I get a fill 12/1.

Also, I have a huge lump (golfball size) right where my port is...anyone else experience this??? The docs office said (over the phone) could just be Fluid build up....hmmmmm. Its rock hard and annoying...too close to my ribs. I lost a lot of weight the first week and then was worried...hmm I guess you must be careful what you wish for huh??

I unfortunately can eat pizza. I dont get a fill for several weeks now, and I am really worried!! I am able to eat most things except bread like bisquits.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
