Morning guys. I could do with a bit of advice please. I think basically I've had a bit of an overfill on Saturday. It still is uncomfortable drinking anything even Water. Last night I had to prop myself up in bed as when i lay on my tummy/side I could feel gurgles and like I was producing a bit of saliva. Anyway I'm OK if it's likely to loosen over the next day or so. Has anyone else had this?

Mmm - what did it feel like when u had that hic-cup incident? Do you feel OK now?

It's one extreme to another!!

Sammy I have sent you a pm, please read asap, dont keep suffering.

Glad to see you back big sister, I have missed you, Hope you have a good fill. My last fill was quite wierd, I had hiccups for 3 days, but now its settled, and somedays I get some restriction but not all - its all very strange. I'm due to fly back out to france on week wed 20th for 1 week and then possibly try another fill when I get back but I dont think I'm far off now.

Glad all turned out ok freckles, and hopefully your band will kick in soon.

Welcome to all the new members this thread is such a support, keep tuned in.

Welcome back Mandy!!

Sammy, hope you feel better soon, if you still cant drink properly in a few days i would get a small unfil but the people from WLS seem great and i am sure they will give the right advice.

Gary, you are amazing i run 5k and i think that i am going to collapse at the end of it...think i will work my way up to the 10k very very slowly!

Hi Homecare

I too wanted to get banded in July, I have the summer off and return to work at the begining of Sept. I as also hoping I could have the op without having to let everyone at work know. Not that I am ashamed of it but there all really thin people and they just dont know what its like to be fat and fedup. I can almost hear them talking about me spending soo much money on an op when 'all I have to do is go on a diet'

Ah well, we will get it done, I cant wait- I wish I could go now

      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.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
