Just got back from my surgeon's office

hey Shelli,
wow this just amazes me how different each person is. here i am 1 wk out and nothing satisfies me. i can drink 2 ounces down at 1 time and it doesnt affect me at all.  i have yet to have that "full" feeling and my tummy painfully growls all the time. i cant wait to go in for a fill. i hate this feeling. sure i sip and drink but it doesnt help. last night i got up and was soooo thirsty.. i opened up a water bottle and chugged some water. then i remembered my surgery and was like OH CRAP. i put down the bottle and just waited for the awful feeling others experience when they have too much. well i never got it!!!

i sure hope this works for you; have you had anything since the fluid was taken out?

I really hope this works, Shelli.  Then you can have time to heal and the swelling to go down before the fill, right?  Your weight loss sounds great, but I'm with you, I'd rather lose slower and feel good!  {{{Hugs}}}

Shelli - I am hoping this will help put you back on your feet and feel good.  Giving time to heal is important and everyone heals at a different rate. 
September 9th will be here soon and you will be ready for your next step.

Big hug,
Shelia
