Looking for support



Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I am Amy, I am 28 years old from Southern Cal. I am getting married in May and I need to loose about 135 lbs. (not by then but hopefully some!) I was banded in Sep 06 and lost about 33 lbs in about 5 months. I had my fills done regularly and it got harder and harder to eat. In March of 07 I had a fill that put me over the top. I wasn't able to take pills and Water would come back up. The next day the Doc said we should totally empty it and let the swelling go down if there was any... I never went back. That night I ate something and couldn't believe how good it felt to eat and not throw up. I think I ate a smart one, I am not talking a buffet here. Just the feeling of no pain while eating was so nice! Of course since that day I have gained 30 of the 33 lbs back. For awhile I decided I wasn't going back for a fill ever again. But I am feeling now that I wasted all the time and fear I had about the surgery and I NEED to loose this weight. I made a dr appt with a new doc for a fill in June 08. This doc is much more aggressive with fills,I have a 10 band and she put in 1.5 for my 1st fill. She says most people with my band go to 3 or 3.3 so I am almost at half of what I will have! She also ordered an upper GI and everything looks good so no slip! :thumbup: I am really hoping the 2nd time around is better. I think part of this surgery that no one talks about it that it is uncomfortable to eat after you have had it, I never knew this would be the case. Even with no fill at all I cant eat some things. I guess in the end its better that way. Anyways I am looking for a buddy! THANKS!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
