The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. Michelangelo

Thanks everyone! I have one more question; I made Albondigas (mexican meatball soup) made with ground turkey. Do you guys think it will be ok to puree that for dinner. I added rice to the meatballs when I formed them, I know Liz said no rice but is it ok to eat pureed?

Don't know if I'm the news or not but here it is anyway :thumbup:

I got my fill!!!!! yea yea yea. It was sort of an ordeal as she was not able to find my port. I'm scared to take the band aid off cuz I know she must have stuck me 15 times. No joke she was stabbing me for a good 10 min. She kept asking if I was ok even after she was done. I guess my port is under my rib cage...

anyway I had 2cc already and she gave me another 2. I can tell I have restriction I got a starbucks after and it took me until right now to finish it, 7 hrs. I'm on liquids until tomorrow and then mushies.

Robin was a whole nother story...I was selective with what I shared with her. she really didn't offer anything of value to me. I was asking her about head hunger and why I'm hungry and she just told me to move to stage 5, huh? I'm on stage 8 if there is one. I kept saying I can eat anything. Whatever...

I think she does have a say on if you get a fill because when we were done she walked me over to Dr P's office and went inside. Once Dr P came in she said how you doing blah blah and then she said you better stay away from strbucks. I told Robin that I had been going and she gave me a lecture.

any who that's my story...who else has news?

Maria try the split pea with tiny ham bits Soup and those personal hormel chili's are wonderful I'd give it a zap withmy hand blender and then put cheese on top and microwave it.

Jes - awesome that you got your fill and can feel it! Interesting advise about Robin; good to know.

Tamara - hang in, don't give up. This isn't a race; its about the rest of our lives and being healthy. You can do it!

Maria - Riley pureed everthing! If it fit in the magic bullet, she says she pureed it - same food as the family ate. The mexican Soup sounds great!

Liz - I love Christmas too! We got all our decorations up (I didn't eat the Cookies when we were decorating the tree - whoo hoo!) and I'm almost done shopping; also had fun buying toys for the little ones. (You should have seen me trying to figure out Transformers - it was on a list from our homeless shelter and my boys are grown so I had no one to ask. Pretty funny - there are a million different kinds!)

Pam and Tina - hope you feel better.

Candra - My doc. started me on Zoloft for anxiety and we just upped the dose. I was on Wellbutrin a number of years ago and it worked well for me then. Hope you got your new prescription.

Hi Reggie! Where is everyone else? Riley? Donna? Nicolie? Annalyn? Nicole? Chris? How is everyone? - let us know.

Howdy howdy! I didn't go to the gym tonight, I planned to but I needed to get my bangs trimmed. Then I went to Walmart where I died a little on the inside. Seriously, wally world was miserable. I had to return 1 item and it was a 20 minute line. Ugh.

I'm getting a pedicure tomorrow, so my toes will be ready for Hawaii. lol. I should go to the gym after that. We'll see how that goes. I'm kinda off-diet again, but I figure I'll just make sensible choices while I'm on vacation and try to go on walks every day. Back from vacation = back on track.

Hello Everyone!

Jes-I am so glad to see you got your fill...Did it hurt??? Was the area completely numb?

Pat-I love Christmas and the decorations too! I am going to have to love the decorations more this year because we don't have money to buy the presents...

Maria-Mexican Soup sounds good to me....Especially in this weather...

Liz-I'm glad you surrounded yourself with love. Kids have a way of doing that to you.

Pam-I'm so sorry you are ill...Try to stay in. The cold snap may make it worse if you go out...

Tina-Wow, 7 miles!!! How old is your daughter?

Question? How long after getting banded did you get your first fill??? I ask because Jes, you are 1 month ahead of me and just recieved your fill. Dr Fisher told me to make my appt for the beginning of February...Why do I have to wait so long? Do you all think I should double check with him? Or do you think I could just make my appt on my own in Jan and act like I forgot what he told me??? I do want to get through the holidays and have my fill around the 2nd week in January not February!!!

Hmm I don't know Monique. According to Dr P my 1st fill was supposed to be 3 months post op ...when I started stage 5. I got it changed to today because she's going on vacation.

Oh and no I didn't feel a thing, the numbing stuff was just like going to the dentist. But, boy does it hurt now. While she was poking she kept having me hold my tummy in and then push it out. I was hoping she wouldn't tell me I couldn't get one for some reason.

Hey Jes, girl...I'm so hungary I could eat a bear!!!! I have been totally out of control. I inhaled an entire garlic crab Saturday night and some garlic shrimp fried rice... I need to re-focus... So much for me losing the 6lbs by my Vegas trip... Oh, it's Thursday. So it's too damn late... Oh, well. I will have a great time with the hubby. It's been a long time since we have gone out of town together.... without the babies...

I will re-focus when I get back. I will not go overboard though. I will be happy with maintaining. Even through the holidays.

Did you call to schedule your appt? Did they schedule it? or Did you just get an appt card in the mail?

Dr Fisher told me to come back in 8-10 weeks (from Nov 23). He also said the calendar did not go out that far... I doubled checked before I left and he was right. I would love to get the fill on Jan 18th, Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday because the holidays will be officially over and because I am off... So much for my thought process...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
