One more update from today, was able to fit into my old size 12 shorts. Probably been at least a year since I've worn them. Even though I'm not seeing the lbs drop as dramatically as I'd like, something must be happening for those shorts to fit. I couldn't button them two weeks ago. Hoping this continues!

End of week 2
hungrymamaJuly 20, 2017
This week was very difficult, as I was traveling for work. Last weekend was hard, and I went out for drinks with friends when I was out of town. Then, when my work conference started on Monday, I kind of over did it. I tried to stick with just eating proteins and vegetables, but Tuesday, I think I over ate, and got really sick. The same thing happened yesterday. I am glad to be back home now and will hopefully be able to manage the diet better. I was at 175 still today and am sticking to liquid today.

That's good you were able to maintain. It's very difficult to manage diet while on the road. I'm gonna walk tomorrow and get back to moving

Yeah, in going to start exercising again today too. I know that is what has helped me lose in the past, so I need to get back into the routine

Day 4

Continue to feel better each day. Went to work today, nothing eventful. Took me all morning to drink my protein shake, then I had lunch around 1:30 which consisted of about 2 oz chicken and a quarter cup if guacamole.
I came home and got pizza for my son since he's been asking for it and omg it smells so good. I know I shouldn't be eating that though and it would probably make my cramps awful, so I just had two hard boiled eggs all mashed up. I'm off the anti-nausea and only take the heartburn med at night. I'm drinking a lot of water too, do that's good. Ive also been sleeping so well. I think it's because I haven't had alcohol in a week, so I don't get up in the middle of the night to pee. I think my body is slowly adjusting to this thing! Hope it works. I also went for a 3.5 mile walk tonight. Really hoping to see some changes to my body at the end of the month!

hi! how are you feeling today?
July 13, 2017
I'm pretty good! I'm still cramping a lot. It feels like you have constant hunger pangs. They usually subside if I drink some protein shake or soup. I've been sleeping well, but I feel super low on energy. Maybe my body just isn't used to the calorie defecit. I'm down 9 lbs today. Hopefully the scale keeps moving down!

I picked up my Mylanta and I'm leaving tomorrow. Im excited but I have a little nervousness. I pray the position of the balloon is good for my body. Do you still feel like yourself?
July 14, 2017
I am feeling more like my self each day. I had been doing very well counting calories and not eating sweets, but today I slipped up and ate ice cream. Hoping to get back on track next week. I was 175 when I woke up today and doing so well ugh. I feel the balloon less, but I just get these pains a lot that are like hunger pangs. It's really made me aware of my eating and eating habits, so I guess it is a good tool. I'm glad you picked up mylanta. Try to avoid buying their Riopan medicine, its expensive and I'm pretty sure the same thing as Maylox.

Okay, don't beat yourself up... You've loss 10 pounds already, that's nice. I'm gonna write a note on the palms of my hands. Lol
July 14, 2017
I'm gonna write. You're worth it or something to remind me of my goal. Can you notice the pounds coming off?
July 14, 2017
Yes! And my tight pants fit normal today lol. Good idea about the note on the palms. Yeah, I'm just going to try to forget about the ice cream. Maybe I'll try not to weigh myself for a few days. I get so obsessive about that.

The Gastro Dr said ice cream is better than a bowl of rice. Erase it from your mind. Claim your transformation! I'm ready for mine. I'm hopeful I can tolerate this balloon.

Oh that's helpful, thanks! I think you'll do fine. Adjusting to the cramps and feeling it in your stomach is difficult, but now it's much less noticeable. Just try to be super tough about it the first week. I was lucky and only threw up three times. I think my stomach is pretty strong though.
July 15, 2017
I've thrown up 5 times already! Did u take anything for that? I'm feeling sort of miserable
July 15, 2017
Oh my god seriously? I didn't hardly feel sick at all! They put anti nausea medicine in the IV every few hours. They also do prescribe you some anti nausea medicine when you leave
