Sorry - but some things just drive me to distraction.
None of my business really, and of course you can go back to the format you had, but I like it alphabetically!

Arn!
Double digits is so exciting! Im thrilled for you. Double digits are a huge deal. Especially when you consider I've got to lose a further 43kg to get there.... You are a legend.

Hi everyone
Just catching up with everything and everyone. Ive had my second fill so now I have 3mls. I have lost another 1.7kgs in 2 weeks since my last fill which Im pretty happy about as I have been eating more than I thought was good for me. I didnt think i was even going to lose 1kg. Anyway Im really good during the day but at night I think I eat a little to quickly still and seem to overfill myself. It feels a little discomfting but not enough to bring up anything.

I MUST EAT SLOWER.......:(


I dont get to see the Dr again for 4 weeks but was told that I should see a quicker loss with the last fill I had.

Now to push myself with the exercise - thats the next thing.... Cozzie please ring - I didn't store your number properly :(

Take care everyone. ;)

Kate,

Congrats that is great news about your fill and weight loss. But I also want to congratulate you on your determination to do this - living 300km away from the Dr etc is huge and you should be commended on that.

I know we are all going to experience our own challenges along the way adn how great is that was can share them here...

Cheers

Arn :)

Hi all
I had my 2nd fill yesterday. I was honest with my Dr & told him that I've been doing it on will power since my 1st fill & that I think I've gained rather than lost weight. As I was staying overnight (I live 300km from his rooms)he gave me more fill than he would have normally been comfortable with - on the provisor that I call him this morning if I had any difficulty.
Now given that our friend Barge is having a cruddy time of it, I nearly didn't post this but I figure we need to know (& so does Barge) that banding is a good decision, but it may have some rough patches.

So - I had no problems with fill #2 - I've got fab restriction and best of all, according to my Dr's scales I've lost 6kg in the 4 weeks since my 1st fill! YAY!!! honestly, I think his scales are a wee bit skewed, but I'm taking the good bits wherever I can get them!

Hugs to all,
Kate

Hi All,

Barge sorry to hear you are having hassles - not good, we will be thinking of you. Keep your eye on the prize.

I had an exciting dinner then - one fried egg (done with cooking spray) on multigrain toast - it was so so so yummo - the egg yolk on the toast was fab, but the crunch of the toast was the best - I also had a piece of toast with vegemite - fantastic.....

Funny how you we excited over small things.

Hope everyone is well

Barge, Oh that is bad news for you, and I can understand it is not nice to have to go through the start again. Hopefully it will not be as bad as having to go through the whole thing again. And I understand totally about sleeping on the stomach, that was my biggest problem with recovery as I have mild sleep apnea and snore such a lot on my back, and the stomach was just too sore the first few days. Hope you can get this fixed quickly and get on with the rest of the journey.

bekhol, that is about 1kg per week, which is a great loss, I would be very happy to have a loss like that. Keep up the good work.

Hi All,
Not Happy Jan!

I went to the xray place to see if they could do my first fill and find my port as the surgeon couldn't. The result is that my port has flipped already and is facing upwards so it can't stay that way and no way of filling it.

So back to the surgeon, and I imagine surgery of some sort again to reopen my port scar, find the port and stick it back in place.

Why am I always the 1% that has all the 'special' things happen to them :(

Not looking forward to doing this whole recovery thing again and sleep deprivation through not being able to sleep on my stomach.

Grrrr

Hey Everyone!
Hope you all are doing ok. I have a fill scheduled for Friday which I am so looking forward to because I feel like I have little restriction but after reading everybody's posts I am glad to see I am not the only one! I see somebody mentioned in here to check measurements. I have only lost 6.8kgs in 7 weeks but I have lost multiple cms from hips and waist which is encouraging in itself.

Keep up the great work everyone and remember WE CAN all achieve our goals.

Hi Everyone,

Had my check up with the surgeon today, and everything is fine and he is happy with the progress so far. He put 1ml fill in, so it is going to be interesting to see how that goes. I can drink allright, and he said to stay on liquids for today, but to go back to normal tomorrow.

I have to go back to the Avenue for future fills and he said to make an appointment for 2 weeks. He also said to stick with the same person there for fills, but if I do not like the first person, to just ask for someone else next time. He said not everyone loves everyone, so it is up to me to be comfortable with the person that I am going to be seing.

I will have one more visit with the surgeon because of the hiatus hernia repair, he wants to see me in 6 months time just to make sure everything is ok.

All in all, a very good experience and the fill did not hurt at all, I hardly felt it. Just a bit of pressure, but nothing uncomfortable.

So fingers crossed I am not able to eat a horse tomorrow when I start back on food again...lol.

I actually do feel a little restriction also from fluids, having some creme of chicken cup of soup just now, and I take it mouthfull by mouthfull with a little break inbetween. But it is going down, so no problem.

Hi all,

Hi Everyone,

Qui I am looking forward to hearing how you go at the Dr tomorrow. I don't have an appointment for another 2 weeks and like you I feel I could eat anything, but I am not. I am not starving and I don't start to get hungry until mid morning. I don't know if I aim eating enough or too much can't tell.

Today I ate:

1 banana (1st time, took half an hour to eat it - it was fantastic znd went down well)

1/2 cup mashed potato, carrots and zuccini with gravy

1 Up and Go

1 cup (on the portion plate) = 2 small meatballs, peas, zuccini, mashed potato and some gravy to soften - was/am absolutely stuffed.

2 cups of tea

1.5 litres of water (so far)

The serves are so small compared to what I used to eat, but now it seems too much!!!

What are others eating, I am really interested.

Tootle

Re the burping, it's more than likely from the gas they pump into your belly. Most is released, but they can't get it all, so it has to work it's way out. It depends on the person as to whether it comes out the top or bottom end. As the gas is outside the digestive tract, it has to absorb into it before it can be released. Again, it depends on the person as to how long that can take. They can use a few hundred litres of Carbon Dioxide, so it makes sense some will get left behind.
I will point out, I'm not a doctor, so if you're at all worried about the burping, contact your doctor or hospital where you had your procedure.

Actually, talking about restriction.... THe last couple of days I have been extremely hungry and felt as if I could eat a horse!! Today for dinner I had a small fillet steak, midium rare, and about 1 egg sized (or less) potato, a few rounds of carrots. I ate it very slowly and chewed the steak really well as it is the first time I have steak. It went down very easily without any problems, but gee I am full now and would not want anything else. The serve I had would be half of the steak I normally would have and about a quarter of vegies. So obviously I must have some restriction... it will be interesting to see what the surgeon says tomorrow.

Thanks for that, Creature, good to know. So if I get a fill tomorrow I should feel as I am definitely apple shaped (or more barrel shaped :)

We live and we learn, good to have this forum to help on the way.
