Hi Lori. Congrats on your weight loss. Don't worry...your hubby would know who you are no matter how thin you get. There is so much for you to be excited about. Yaaaaaaaaaay! Take Care~~ Diane

Hi all, Well I was going to post a one month update but I am behind in everything. Tomorrow I hit 5 weeks. I'm eating well - getting in my protein with the help of my protein shake in the morning. I need to work on vitamins and exercise. Although I did attend my first step aerobics class this week. So it's a start at least. I have lost a total of 29.5lbs so far -- woo hoo! But my biggest news this week is that last weekend I had to go buy a new pair of jeans The jeans I had were just way too big and falling off - literally. I was a size 20W before the surgery and I got into a size 16W and I could have gotten into a 14W but they were just tighter than I like. I'm so excited! That was so much better than seeing any weight loss on the scale. I'm just so excited because I'm thinking within a few more months I will be able to go to the Misses department instead of the Women's department -- gonna have to take pictures for the scrapbook. That means I'll have to tear up my Lane Bryant card -- LOL. My hubby comes home from deployment sometime before June so any weight loss will be great. He's wondering what I will look like at homecoming. I told him that I might have to make a sign saying "Honey, here I am". I can definately tell the weight loss as I'm starting to feel bones that I have NEVER felt before -- I told my husband today when he called - "I have collar and shoulder bones!" -- he laughed. I have just never been able to feel them. Thank you all for letting me share with you. --Lori

Well, the deal is...I called Barix everyday and spoke to a nurse for the past few days, I have managed to keep liquids down and when I tried anything else...which I finally did today...( oatmeal this am, and scrambled eggs at lunch) I got incredible pain in my chest...and felt very ill. SOOO, Dr. Kam says come on down...I have an appt to see him Monday at 8:30 am.. I totally dread the 6 hour drive again and I really don't want to miss more work..but this journey is not predictable...I hope all is well....and I can start eating at least some soft foods without feeling like I am having a heart attack. we shall see..I will let you know the results..

I'm with you totally on this I do the same thing. I've tried everything with food and it all makes me sick and throw up. I'm going in on Monday A.M. and getting my esophogus stretched and the opening to my stomach. I'm sure that is your problem because I've had this same problem for about 3 weeks now. So I know exactly how you feel whatever I tried made me so sick and I would wait the 30 minutes b/4 and eat slowly and chew chew chew and it didn't help. I have been reading blogs of people that had this surgery either b/4 I did or after me and they are eating way more item than I can. I was even to the point where I wanted a reversal. I will let you know next week if it helped but please get ahold of your DR. soon. Best of luck and if you need anything please let me know.. Robin
