I am also an Apr 27, 09 girl.  I have lost 75 lbs. and I also am having a hard time with the water and supplements.  I also have trouble with meat and chicken.  It seems that I am sick and vomiting half my life.

Good evening!  My date was also April 27th.  I have lost a total of 65 lbs. so far, about 14 was from pre-op liquid diet.  On top of walking are u also doing weight training?  I guess that's the trick.  I'm doing resistance training daily with hand held weights (10 lbs)  and a resistance band with a balance ball.  Have you tried just toast?  I can eat only toasted bread.  I've been living off of the wendy's ceasear salad all week.  I only eat about 1/3 of it but it's so yummy.  I also don't feel hungry in fact I forget to eat sometimes.  I wanted to ask you if you still have any pain in your abdomen at all?  I still get this pulling shooting pain kinda feeling in my left side.  I wasn't sure if this is normal. 

Sounds like a lot to contend with! What is your doctor saying?

Are you able to take high quality supplements? Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can wreak havoc with one's system, and they are so important to address. My mother went thru a similar situation where one problem led to another and she needed to go on IV's and stuff to get rebalanced. But, she was TOO slender and nearly 80 yrs old at the time.
In any case, she got rehydrated and filled up with potassium and mag. and became her old self again. Before this she had trouble with balance, walking and it even effected her cognition.

I hope that you are well on your way to restabalizing by the time you check this out.
Take care and let us know how you are doing!

Good Morning everyone!
Stacey, thanks for the encouragement!

Butterfly,
I did not feel anything different with my first fill.  I didn't know what to expect so therefore I don't think I set myself up thinking that I would not be able to drink or eat much but i was hopefull that it would.  I felt some restriction every now and then but not enough to say I remember it.  That was 4 weeks ago.  My second fill is coming up tomorrow.  I am hopefull that I will get a good fill to at least lose 1/2 a pound or 1 a week.  I still weigh the same but I will see what the doctors electronic scale will say.  I've been eating alot but not like the lion's appetite I used to have before surgery. 

I will update next week. 

Keep me posted on your fill!  have a good weekend!
