Things are a little better today, but I still made an appointment with the band clinic to see if I need to have a little of my fill removed.

B – Frozen Protein latte

L – Lean Cuisine stuffed cabbage (left the cabbage because I was afraid it would get stuck)

S – SF pudding cup

D – ½ C. Beef Stroganoff made with Ezekiel Pasta (Ezekiel pasta is made with sprouted whole grains. It was not the most delicious pasta I’ve ever had but I can put up with the taste for the nutritional value. Their bread is much tastier than the pasta was.)

I’m having a very hard time with this fill. It was OK for a while but now I think it may be too tight. I’m having trouble eating anything and even with thick fluids. I’m still finding it hard to believe that .1cc can make this much difference especially when I did need a fill. I had progressed from ½ to 2/3 C of food after my last fill to being able to eat well over a cup of solid food. Also, I was having a hard time resisting between meal Snacks.

I’ve been trying to stick it out to see if it’s just temporary swelling, which it probably is, but at the same time I’d like to at least be able to eat a little food. I’ll probably call the band clinic tomorrow. I wonder if it’s possible to remove .05cc.

Yesterday…..

B – Protein iced latte

L – 100 cal pack hummus

Handful of pita chips

D - Herbal tea (everything else kept coming back up)

I had .25 cc taken out and that was the difference between drinking/eating and not being able to get anything down my throat! Had a nightmare 5 days, after 2 emercency appts my dr managed to find my port and remove quarter of a ml. I lost 9lb in 5 days and kept it all off!

I went to the band clinic today and got a ridiculous .05cc removed. I felt foolish but they were very nice about it. I’m still tight but it’s a tolerable tight. They said to stay on liquids and mushys for a couple of days to give my pouch a rest.

B – Frozen Protein latte

L – 3 nigiri sushi made with brown rice (I left a lot of the rice)

D – Broccoli and cheese Soup at Ruby Tuesdays

S – May have a Protein Shake if I’m up late

I had .05cc taken out today. I feel a lot better. They had to break out the special tiny needle to get that small amount out of me. She said they got the needles by mistake and didn't think they would ever use them. I told her to hold onto them for me because I'm so sensitive to fills. I'm lucky that they are so sweet there. They have never made me feel bad about coming back to have half of my fill removed which I invariably have to do no matter how small a fill I request.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
