Sliming is slimy food right? Not just slimy spit...cuz that happened last night. I was feeling really sick and I ran to the bathroom and dry heaved for a while and only spit came up. food should have come out but didn't. I don't have a fill so I'm not sure if I can get the Slimies.

I woke up last night with the worst headached ever...I usually get Migraines but this was unbelievable. I considered calling an ambulance but had a shower in the dark and packed my head and neck with ice, took some tylenol (didn't crush it) and poof it was gone this morning. Migraines leave me feeling like I have a black eye usually so I don't think that was it.

It's not a TUMAH!! I hope.

Hope you are feeling better Mookie.I get bad Migraines too and always worried about tumors too. Sliming is lots of slime in your mouth. ;no food comes up just slime.

YODA,

You're doing GREAT! You must be filling much better with your defill. I'm heading down on 15 Feb. Can't wait for the feeling. I'm hoping this isn't a virus I have and I'm thinking it's from being too tight. Off for blood work.

Talk soon.

Have a great week!

Hi Yasmina,

Doesn't feel so great this week but Thanks. I'm looking much better. But I have low energy and can't keep anything down. I can eat it but it comes back up shortly after. You're down almost 15 already and that's fantastic. Good work. I say that because it is a matter of choices and just because we have the band doesn't mean we "cheated".

Have a great week.

Well, Maria, yes and no. Until yesterday I would have said I need another fill. But then yesterday all day I was as tight as a drum, and thanking the lord I hadnt got another fill. I think I really have to up my excersice and really watch the quality of my food. I think at this stage thats what is going to take me to the next level. Rely less on my band and more on me. I've been coasting and I think I'm going to have to work a bit, dang,lol.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
