Betsy, do yourself a favor.. start the prep early like around 1 or 2 at the latest !! I did and was done running to the bathroom by around 8 or 9. If you start any later, you will be running to the bathroom all night and you won't get enough sleep.

well all, called lisa this a.m., and told her i can't take this anymore, on mothers day, took my meds at 8:30 a.m. and at 6 p.m., i brought up something without effort, and when i took it out of my mouth, it was my protonix!!! with the name clearly marked on the pill along with the coating, just like it came out of the bottle! anyway, the earliest they can get me in for the barrium swallow is mon. the 18th @'8:30... i just hope i'm tight and don't have a slipped band like he suggested a few weeks ago..i'll keep you guys posted...vicki

Vicki,

It really upsets me that they didnt look into this earlier. I would think that they would make a problem a higher priority!

Good luck on monday and let us know

Good morning ladies,

It's me LiveLoveLaugh Cynthia I've been missing in action for some time now and I have to confess to some things. Seems since my partial (large)unfill in Jan/09 from being a bit over filled that day. I'm back to some bad habit's. I'm snacking at night before bed, eating beyond full, eating some slider foods or just not taking the time to think about my choices. At first I thought I won't say anything to the post since I'm a ashamed at admitting to all this, but heck why should I do that??? I need to reach out and ask for some help. I'm standing still in my weight loss at this point, I have some wonderful supporting friends that KNOW JUST HOW I FEEL..... So I'm asking for some help!! I see Dr. Hoffman tomorrow morning @ 8:15 for my second fill since that Jan. unfill. I know I just need to find that sweet spot once again to re-start weight loss once more, just I wish my head hunger was turned off like it was when I had that Sweet spot back in early fall.

I believe that the Wed. meeting is this week May 20th? Will anyone be there this week?

Thanks for letting me vent......

      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'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? 🤷‍♀️
