Down 2lbs this week. The fill is helping!! Whoo hoo! If I didn't change scales (old one died) I think it would've been down 3-4lbs, whatever I'll take 2.

As Martha would say Fills "are a good thing".......:biggrin:

Mine has been helping a lot this week now that I'm on strained Soup I can eat the bits but not the liquid...soft foods here I come...that's scary though because trying to get protien and low calorie on soft foods (mashed taters etc) good thing restriction will only let me eat about the 1/4-1/2 cup we are suppose to.

I hung on to my 228 this week it's about DANG time it's been a month since I registered any loss. I debated updating my tracker with my secondary goal but decided to wait till I actually got to my first one.

Well I'm going down again.... but I'm still debating getting some of my fill from 1/12 taken out. I've been sick most days I've adjusted my habits a bit yesterday I got so sick when I took my pills I slimed for several hours and my belly hurt then about 8am it was like my band said OK now you can have that yogurt you brougt took me an hour to eat it. Had my 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes for lunch and felt a big tummy pain. By 5pm when I meet someone for dinner before support group I ate about 1/4 cup of my Soup and again tummy ache. When I got home I did have a SF Fudge Pop then at bedtime I had a couple sips of milk had tummy ache and slime for about 4 hours into the night.

On the other hand I'm now at 225 it's actually a bit below that but since I had only about 16oz of Fluid it may be a bit dry..... so I'll post 225.

JT- ***Call your doc today and get in there for a tiny unfill...you don't want to end up in the ER, where they could nick your tubing or something, over the weekend!

If you're having only liquids and the sliders you mentioned and are having problems you definitely need a small unfill...remember sometimes even a tiny, tiny bit can make a huge difference! The swelling can escalate quickly if you PB and you'll find yourself unable to swallow your own spit. Please call!

PV- Thanks for the support girl!

I had a great week after my plateau...163 today! 5 pounds until my 'goal range'...I can hardly wait!

JT- I agree please call your Doc.

BG- this is so exciting! I love your new "head". I'm going to check out your blog in a bit.

JG- Slow & steady wins the race, we'll all get there sometime. Celebrate any loss, because it sure beats the alternative. Though I admit I want the magic pill to make it all disappear and leave me looking like Cindy Crawford in a matter of minutes :bored:

I'm down 4lbs this week. I wasn't able to take the BodyPump class :) My knees are really giving me grief. Last year when this happened I ignored it and pushed through- HUGE mistake. I wasn't able to excerise at all for 8 weeks and then had to go back very very very slowly. So I'm going to ice, Ibuprofen and try to keep a major flair up at bay. Hopefully I'll be able to take it next Friday.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
