I'm doing okay. I haven't lost anything in a week. Everyday is different in regards to how I feel. I'm not getting as sick as often.

Some days I feel hungry all day and some days I feel full all day.

I've lost 13 lbs in just over a month.

How are you doing?

Actually I never really threw up. I'm sorry you're so sick! Hopefully with some fluids you'll feel better.

I still get sick from time to time. Where I feel nauseous and don't feel like eating. I'm not sure why some days I am sick, and other days I feel great.

I am going on week 5. I am down 18.5 lbs and able to eat pretty much anything. I drink a Protein shake with 60 grams of Protein in the mornings, eat a lean lunch and supper. I haven't started exercising yet. I am loving the weight loss!!!

Hi, I've had my Ballon for 2 months now! went to the nutritionist yesterday and I'm down 26 lbs! I only lost 3.5 this last month! That's from eating bad over the holidays! I feel better overall but not 100% like myself! I still feel nauseous everyday and have to take Phenergan! The vomiting is better maybe only once a week now! I'm doing strength training at home but I will start back at the gym this weekend!

Question for the ladies in this group! Do you have trouble with wearing a bra since the Ballon placement? I can't stand wearing any type right now! I feel so bloated all the time so it hurts to wear anything semi tight and around my stomach area too!! Maybe it's just me!

I never connected my bra feeling so tight to my balloon. But yes, it's felt extra tight. Even though my balloon is down lower. And even though I've lost weight through my chest.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
