Wom, Mim, great loss for the week! I know the fill has been a little challenging, but it sure is great the see the results!

lisalee, I know what you mean about NSVs. They are really much more important than a number on the scale. Just knowing that I'm making progress has taken a load off my shoulders. I think I was in a low-level depression for many months (years?), and I've pulled out of that. I don't know if it's the weight loss, the fact that I'm getting better nutrition, or a combination of both, but it seems like my mind is clearer, colors brighter, and it seems a little easier to face problems and stop procrastinating.

Mom, I'm down 2 more pounds this week.

Good luck to all of you for a great week!

Tami

:biggrin1: Tami, yes I agree about procrastinating. I see something that needs to be done and do it. No more sleeping at all hours of the day just because it's the only thing that feels good (which made me feel worse.) Somehow that melancholy or indifference is slowly dissipating.

MOM, I had a fill last week and weighed in at 213 this morning. I still can't believe it. I am not feeling a lot of restriction after fill #2 but something is working. I am at a 25 pound weight loss now, 25% of my weight loss goal. WOW, what a feeling. I wasn't sure I would ever get here.

I think I can see a light at the end of the tunnel...or wait, maybe it's a train?! :)

MOM

Still the same, no weight loss. Kind of stuck right now. Doc wouldn't fill

me 2 weeks ago (2nd Fill), said weight loss was on track. Now it has stopped. Go back in 21st Nov. Definitely need a fill. Hungry all the time.

I unfortunately have now experienced the big three- golfball, sliming and PB.

The golfball from eating too fast about every 4 days- eeks im gonna learn!!

Sliming only ONCE- that was enough!! It was from a TENDER pork chop that a well chewed piece got stuck. WOW pain!! And 10 minutes of sliming!!!

PB- ONCE- tonight- from eating too fast. The golfball hurt then PB relieved it. Not nearly as gross as I had feared.

I am really wondering IF I should get the fill tomorrow- I havent learned to S l o w d o w n!!! A fill will make it worse!! As a human- man on man am I hard headed!!

I feel like a bandster toddler learning how, when, and why to eat!!!

Hi MOM,

I lost 1# for this week. Had my second fill last Tuesday and still don't feel much restriction!?!? So I scheduled another one for 11-28-06. Hope I get it right this time around. But I have had some wicked awsome NSV's! I put on my winter coat and I could ZIP the thing with room to spare!

MOM: I'm down 1 lb. for the week. Not exciting since I got a second fill on Thursday and hoped I'd feel more restricted this time.

Ok kiddos,

I seem to have problems with tracking, If you can please check your name and see if I am on track.

Please post your weight loss not your current weight, it would surely help in the tracking progress and keep me from having to add and subtract every week. I would truely be at your mercy!

Example: This week a loss of -2lbs or -5 lbs instead of I weight 213 this week, Thanks for your help in advance, and keep up the awsome work!

WE are in Week Number 5, unless you joined post beginning of challenge.

Here are the results thus far:

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
