Happy New Year

Quiet here, had a pre new year party with a few friends, so went to bed early last night.

it is strange to hear fill of 5.5 or 6. I only have a 4cc band and have 1.5 in me

Trying to start the new year off right, positive and happy.

Have a great day all

Well Val, although I am sorry this is happening to you too, I am glad that I am not the only one. They act like I am an anomoly up there. Barb is going to think I am nuts last week I call and tell her I need a fill and freaking out cause I can eat anything, and now I cant get liquids down..tomorrow I might eat a sub! WTF........:smile2:

All went well Rain, band is ok and Barb said I could handle a small fill so got .2cc fill and now have a total of 5.2cc. How are you feeling, and when is your due date? will they unfill you totally or just go according to how you feel.

Vicki,

Im due sometime at the end end July.

Yes they dont unfill it totally they go by how you feel. Like I said she took out two leaving me with 4cc and I can eat A LOT. Its kinda fun to eat a whole bagel and not get stuck and barf. I knew the bathroom at every restaurant because I had to use them during every meal out. I guess thats not so good but I didnt really realize that I was getting stuck with everything I thought it was just how it had to be. Im just trying to go slow with the weight gain this time around.

You know Rain, I am glad u said that cause I too know where the bathrooms are and I need to "relieve" myself, I don't throw up, just bend over and push it out sort of..:rolleyes2: anyway, I am glad I am not the only one cause I was wondering.. I can eat a lot too even with my fills, i must have a very elastic esophogus, cause it fits but uncomfortable at times. Keep us posted and post pix of your growing tummy..lol :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
