Visit to surgeon

Good Morning all

Pretty darn happy after yesterdays visit to my surgeon office.  I was a bit nervous as it was my first fill, and I felt that I had not sufficient progress in this journey.  Well, I was sorely mistaken.  Doc was very pleased.  Since I began my journey, I've lost 39 lbs. From my previous visit to yesterday it was only 10 lbs, but that was major according to Doc as I had not even had a fill.  

All together, 2 inches around the neck, 8 inches at the abdomen and 7 at the hips.  I could tell there were changes, as I keep adding new holes to my belt to keep my pants from dropping to my ankles.  

Because I'm still getting nauseous, he didn't do a  full fill, slightly less than half.  So far, not feeling any more or less nauseous so that is great.  Told him that the protein drinks make me really sick but if I eat something it helps. He said I need to keep doing the shakes, but to eat a little bit later.  That's what I had been doing  so I'm  continuing..  Thought I'd brag a little bit.   Feeling pretty good about this journey and really looking forward  to the rest of my life...

Good job John!!!!
Congratulations!!!! Some people say they do better with something hot to drink. We're drinking your shake in the morning? If so again, some do well with something hit to lossen things up.

Are we exercising?

Roger, roger on exercising.  I bought a recumbent exercise bike since I have some nerve damage in my back with affects my legs.  Legs getting stronger, and I'm feeling better for sure..   This is my long term solution and I know it..    Onward and downward.....

Hi, Glad you're happy about your Dr.'s visit. I haven't lost any weight in quite a while due to my own doing. Fortunately I changed Dr.'s and He gave me a slight fill under fluoresce and to see how my band looked. I am trying to get back on track. So the past few days now, I have lost 5 lbs. I know it's not much but I feel pretty good about getting back to basics. Keep up the good work!
