I was taken with your signature line about being a proud member of the ABC and I put one in my signature line as well. Thanks for the idea.

I've updated my ticker. Five more pounds to go until my next mini-goal reward. Plus, I know have less than 100 lbs. to lose.

p.s. I stole the ABC member line too!

Hey y'all

I'm checking in. I have to update my ticker. I gained 5 lbs.:faint: very upset with myself. I"ve scheduled another fill for next Wednesday (11th.) so maybe I can get back on track. I'm thinking of going ahead and purchasing a bike so I can have another way of getting in some exercise. I feel like I need to do something drastic to make my Jan.1 mini-goal. I just can't seem to make it to 230.

Kutia,

I feel ya girl! This was my first week of all solid food and in no time at all, 4 lbs came right back. I'm telling myself this is not surprising, but I also feel almost no restriction and the portion sizes are creeping up. I've scheduled my first fill for Oct. 19. Water aerobics class -- here I come!

August 15. Down 23 pounds. Had my first fill today. 2cc in an 11 cc band. I think my band doc said he uses the Vanguard bands, so I think those are 11cc. Not positive though.

Thanks Faybie, you rock!

      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!

      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!!
