Good, I am losing alittle losing inches instead of pounds. down to size 16. I have only had three fills the last one He put 2cc and i couldn't drink water. so he took out half cc . But its been 8 weeks + and i am still throwing up everyday. i might keep one down and vomit the next. I am getting into a bad habit with milk shakes.the stays down but high in fats.lost down 178 lbs . Some times it gets me down because i throw up so much. My DR. nurse told me am not chewing good, but I am.I guess this is just part of it some days i wish i had not had it done. but then when i get on the scales i am glad or someone would say you look skinner. Well the bad news Had to go back on my blood thinners. I got the bright idea that i didn't need my blood thinner that the clot i had in my heart was gone. NOt... I was off 4weeks and had another TIA that put me in the hospital for few days. That sucked... OH well it could have been really bad. can feel my left side again. Just got back from Vacation in Canada. Was rain,cool and windy up there. Wish i had went south>>> LOL . well losing slow.but doing better. Hope all my friends are doing the same... Take care everyone.

well I am down 189 feeling great more alive. OUt of 9 meds i am off 7 thats great only one blood pressure pill left and zertic i will keep. It feels good to work 12 to 16 hr shift with out legs and feet hurting. I put up more work but its hard to find time to eat and i end up grabbing something i shouldn't eat then i spend 20 mins in the bathroom getting it up. I think my best thing is chewing. it is so hard to chew alot. working in a hospital you have to sometime grab your food and run and eat. Thats really hard. But i am doing ok wish i could lose more than a lb week. well Hope all my friends out there are doing great and i will try to keep up and slow down on the work. liz
