I'm so sorry Carrie. Either way it is awful. I hope you are able to get the unemployment.

Thanks. I was upset at first, but I'm ok now. I am starting nursing school in a few weeks, so everything will work out.

Dang, I hate to hear that you lost your job. My wife is a nurse and she can work as much as she wants to - the program was tough at Dalton State, but she is well trained.

I have an adjustment today. It is my fourth and I hope they get aggressive with this one. I am ready to lose some weight but I don't feel like the band is helping me enough yet.

What??? :eek:You have lost 61 lbs and the band isn't helping you! Baby the band is just a tool, you still gotta do the work. It sounds as if you are doing great. Don't risk getting yourself too tight, that can actually slow you down and can lead to slippage.

Sorry about the job loss, but you will probably be better off without the stress because nursing school is major stressful and you need to just get your breath and get ready to rumble!

I know it just a tool. I don't expect anything else. I just want the tool to be sharper:smile:. Most of my 61 lbs came with the pre op diet and the first month and a half after the surgery. Since that time it has been a struggle.

It gets better. I will admit that I have had 8 or 9 fills since September to get to the point where I am not startving all of the time, but I did get here. I just takes time (unfortunately). It just takes more fill for some people. One thing is for sure, they will let you come back for another fill as often as you need one you are past the 3 months after surgery. Give this new fill a week or so, if it isn't doing the job, get another one. Good luck!

I had the exploratory surgery yesterday. I had endometriosis, a uterine fibroid, and 2 large cysts on my left ovary. The doctor said he took care of everything. I am in a lot of pain though.

Well CMEX I don't have a clue how much you lost before but if you lost 20 before surgery then that would be 40 lbs in 3 months. That is terrific! Average is 1-2 lbs per week. I do know a fill will help but don't get too anxious. Your doing fine.

I hope you feel better soon. Unfortunately, I figured the pain would be pretty bad. Make sure to stay on top of your pain medicine. It is easier to control the pain than it is to stop it once it has a hold on you. Keep us posted.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
