WTG Robin! That's great!

Well, I got my fill. Turns out my port has flipped on it's side, but with a bunch of maneuvering, the doc was able to get it turned right so I could get the fill. He added another 2 cc, so I'm up to 4 cc in an 11 cc band. I hope this one works! I'm going to need to get my port fixed, so I'll probably be getting that done in the next couple weeks. I'm just glad my insurance is going to cover the revision!

Well today I got my first fill. I have been banded almost 3 months with no fill. I wasnt actually planning on him letting me get a fill today I was just gonna ask about it. But he said since I've gone longer than most without any fill at all he would do it. So I was a little nervous but it was a breeze no pain at all the only word I could think of to describe it was "weird". It just felt weird to me I could feel my band getting tighter. I have an 11cc band and he put in 3cc's to start. Well I'm back to liquids for a couple days but I'm so happy that I should start losing again. I had a Protein Shake and it took longer to drink than its been taking so I'm taking that as a sign that I'm tighter.:clap2: We'll see.

Go girl. Say goodbye to the 300s!

Congrads Robin! I just had my 2nd fill and had two days of liquids (my own decision) because I have been between 301 and 303 for a month. I wanted to give myself a kick and hope that I become a Twoterville. Well, I did it. I am now 298!!! I'm staying on mushies for a couple of more days so I can get further away from 300. I never want to see that number again.

I don't know if I have restriction yet but it does feel different when I swallow. So I hope I do.

Diane

I'm so happy to hear about the victories from you guys. So far fill #2 has been fine for me. No issues today and eating pretty small portions.

Pebbles, you are so beautiful! Your skin is amazing!

ladydi and rlittman -- way to go sisters!!

Am I crazy or are we missing posts from 11/1 and 11/2? I could swear there were some posts about eating Halloween candy, and I think I posted about vomiting everyday. Did anyone else notice this or is my brain starved.

Something odd happened. I couldn't get on for two days, and then, as you said, it seems some posts are missing. Weird.

Speaking of the thread....it's November! Shall we start a new thread? I'll do it...okay so everyone go to the ABC November Chat thread....NOW!!!! LOL!:D

      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? 🤷‍♀️
