OMG, like real LIVE chickens and roosters? Does she live on a farm, lol?

Man, lunch was TOUGH today!!! I had 1/4 of tuna and got stuck and was sliming after just two bites! I stopped eating it, let the feeling pass, thankfully didn't PB. Then about an hour later I heated up 1/4 cup of turkey chili thinking that at least it's Protein even if it is a mushie...it took me about 20 minutes to eat maybe half of it and I kept feeling it in my esophagus like it wasn't wanting to go down. Finally I said screw it and dumped the rest out, then slimed AGAIN in the sink for about 10 minutes til it went away.

Now, about 1+ hour since the chili I'm having a small cup of cocoa for some protein and calories.

I was totally fine yesterday with no problems at all! I even snacked on some chips at the pool...but today I'm super tight. I didn't eat Breakfast cuz I slept in a bit and it wasn't a big deal to wait til lunch.

I'm hoping this is just temporary, I do NOT want to get an unfill. NICOLE--didn't you start out really tight on the last fill and even PB a bunch but then it loosened up on you?

This is SO weird! I'm drinking my hot cocoa and after every sip I take my tummy gurgles! My band is probably trying to thank me for giving it a break and not trying to shove solid Protein through the teeny tiny opening.

Not as tight as you chris.

Last fill.. i was fine for 2 weeks and then pbed probably 4 or 5 times in one week.. then was good and then the next week i lost 8lbs and then it loosened way up.. waited a week got my fill..

Then this fill, i had issues with tamale:( but after i got that out i was able to eat some chicken noodle Soup broth and then a couple bites of meat.< /p>

I havent had it where i continuously cant eat.

All i can say is try taking smaller bites i find when i do have issues its bigger bites.. i was even able to have some cinnamon roll today.. I hope you feel better soon.

AND yes REAL chickens, and no not on a farm.. she just loves chickens. Needless i didnt let him buy them lol. She liked the idea though lol.

That's so funny about the chickens!

Okay so I think the tuna fish may have been too dry, was trying to keep the cals down by doing less mayo but I think I'll just need to put a little more mayo and some mustard. I think I had pissed off my band and that's why maybe I had trouble with chili too...I was only eating about 3 Beans per bite! They were pretty tiny bites, and I waited about 3-5 min between each bite.

How the heck did you lose 8 lbs in a week? Were you not eating much? Exercising tons? Or just a lucky week? I want that to happen to me! Then I'd be in the 2-teens!!! :rolleyes:

Chris sounds familiar.............be careful girls!! I so know what it is like to try three different things for a meal before I gave up and ate soup!! LOL. (of course I slimed everything but the soup)

All I can say is watch it and if you do need an unfill do it sooner rather than later!! I waited to long so that is why I had to get some much out..........I really pissed off my band until the darn little hole swelled and closed up on me!! I wish I would have gone in a bit earlier to get an unfill and than it would have been no big deal.......probably just a tiny bit of Fluid.

You know me stubborn and don't like to ask for help unless I am SURE I need it!!

Don't be scared of unfills though. I just waited to long I am the exception to the rule..........LOL. ALways!!

I can eat to much. Now doing it out of wilpower but I could eat alot if I wanted to..............I am keeping it 1000 or under right now. Averaging about 800 but gonna switch it up today with the yogurt.

Ok back cleaning the house.........and yep I ate some frozen yogurt. I think we all saw that coming.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
