I think it will get better, but , if I were you, I would contact the doctor's office so they can advise you. Good luck. Welcome to the Losers' Bench. Good luck on your journey.

Topic: need advice urgently
Hi everyone I'm new to this and just had my surgery on Friday June 10th. i did the realize band and my starting weight was 185 pounds.  had to convert as i am a metric system person. i''m 38 and female.

I'm a runner and was not able to loose weight no matter what i did.  also knees were becoming a problem.

My problem is that i constantly feel a little sore and nauseous.  This does not change weather i eat or not. have been trying to take in as much liquid as possible but it's just so uncomfortable. help!!!  does it get better?

thanks roryski

  Morning Everyone,

Today is going to be a great day.....I just know it.   Even though I had a small weight gain this AM....it is OK.   I am back on track.....keeping a food diary and exercising.    Wii Active kicked my back side yesterday.   LOL   Guess I need to get back into shape.   I know the gain is due to sodium...had WAY too much of it yesterday.    This is a post to remind us all that no matter where we are in our journey we ALL have so much to be grateful for.    Heck....waking up is one of them and if you are reading this.....I take it you are not still asleep.   LOL    SO PLEASE share with us something that you are grateful for today.    Today I am so grateful for my WLS.   Almost 6 yrs. ago before I had my RNY my bariatric surgeon said said that without surgery I probably wouldn't live another 10 yrs.   You know....those are not words that you want to hear.   I was a very healthy MO person ( if you can be healthy and MO ).   I had asthma and border line diabetic.    BUT I also was approaching 300 lbs.    For a person 5'1" that is HUGE !!!!   I am not perfect ( trust me ) and I never reached my normal BMI but I did reach my surgeon's goal weight for me and I am now trying to pull about 13 lbs. off to get back to that weight.   Grateful that I had my WLS and that the "tool" does still work if I chose to eat healthy and exercise.   Have a wonderful monday and fantastic week.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

 That's great, Kim! And, I agree with Tom. I felt much more restriction with my last fill and it took MUCH longer to go away than before. I'm hoping that my next will be my last. I'm calling tomorrow to set it up :D As much as I love my surgeon, I can't wait to not see him for awhile. Haha!
One day at a time.
