hello all again.... hmm now lets see what has been going on.. im now down to 100kgs from 128kgs but ive been stuck on 100kgs for a while now and it dosnt want to budge so it is a little frustrating. I have 5 1/2 mils now in my 10 ml band. A friend of mine had lost 60kgs in 1 yr with the band and i feel like im failing because it dosnt look like i will be losing that amount..

anyway IM ENGAGED! yay my darling bf proposed to me on the 5th of Jan .. such a gorgeouse ring ahh!... but its in at the moment getting resized so wont get it back for a week :sifone:

i have a question about being pregnant with the band.. so u have to get the band unfilled ?

for the record no im not pregnant.. as far as i know :)

congrats on the loss...you must be feeling better! I see Kevin Dolan too! He's great! I think when you get pregnant you have most of the fill taken out because Kevin doesn't want to be responsible for "malnutritioned babies". I heard this from a girl who just had a baby with band in and she was back to get some fill in.

when i was pregnant with my daughter i started out weighing 85kgs and then went up to 115kgs at full term, if my band was completely unfill id be scared to have such a huge weight gain again. I was so sick 24/7 for the 1st 3 months of my pregnancy and hardly gained any weight but once i felt better and able to eat its like my body stored all this fat after not eating really anything for so long.

im just scared of undoing all this work

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
