Happy October fellow Marchies.

Today is the day, I get a fill after being unfilled since my hernia surgery. I’ve only had one fill and one attempt at a second, so I know what to expect. But for some reason I am as nervous as a virgin on her wedding night. I know that there is basically no pain. Maybe it’s because I’m worrying that they will not be able to get it done. That something else is wrong with my band. I want soooooo bad to get the ball rolling with my weight loss and really, really, really want this fill.

Wish me luck.

Good luck, Mrs. Husker, I'm sure you'll do great; and CONGRATS, Tammyj! Wow, everyone is doing so well!

I seem to have broken my 2-month-long plateau and lost 1.5 this week. Just 4.5 until I join you in one-erful one-derland, Tammy.

We are all MARCH-ing along, aren't we??? Have a great week, everyone.

Go Marchies! We are awesome!

In October, I'm going to kick this plateau I've been on since June! I'm getting a fill 10/17. I'm hoping 2cc's will do the trick.

Wat to go Marchies!!!!!!!!!! Hard to believe it more than 6 months. I am still getting use to this new Tool. Just when I think I need another fill I can hardly get anything dow for a few days. Been sitting at the same weight for 3 weeks now but I know it will go.

Oh Juli Congrats on the half way mark you are an inspiration to me...keep up the good work . Ahhhhh, to be in onder land still seems so far away, but having an interesting trip on the way and I know I will arrive. That s the beauty of this great tool. Have a good week everyone.

Great news that your fill went well, I know you were concerned about it. Good luck with chasing that rolling ball downhill!

Had my first PB in over a month today and I'm not sure why. Well, I did eat a piece of broccoli, big piece, of raw broccoli, and didn't chew it very well. But usually it just goes down, even if I don't chew that well. Not this time. I forgot how actually awful it is to PB, even though it did make me feel so much better. Anyone notice that with stress the band seems to tighten up? Maybe I was stressed, because thats usually what happens to me!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
