Hi, MY balloon is in for 5 weeks now, and the weight is coming off very very fast. The first few days I thought I was going to die with the puking. But when my stomach accepted the balloon, I started to feel better.
The first week I lived on yogurt, banana, lite soup. I made a mix of herbal tea, water, and apple juice, so that I get in some sugar.
Then during the first week I gradually added pumpkin, and even soft potatoes.
But were all mouthfuls at a time. Wait after you ate for at least an hour, and then begin drinking again sip by sip for another hour, then try eating again. I pushed myself to eat between 2-3 hours. Otherwise I felt so weak because I didn’t get enough food in.
After a month I am still on cooked veggies. Basically just tuna, meat tends to make me very uncomfortable. I had my first cup of coffee last night... I am still not eating full grains, or salads, or things with a skin. I am staying away from gassy drinks and anything that causes gas.
I think most importantly is taking a little at a time in the beginning, and you have to eat! 2-3 hours apart. I
gym, and sometimes my
energy intake is not enough, and I start to feel dizzy.
It is damn hard work, and not a pleasure, but if you work hard, you will pick the fruit!
I am so glad I had the balloon placed. I have already dropped one clothes size…. I threw out my whole cupboard, as everything is already too big. I took out the previous set of clothes that didn’t fit me anymore!!!!!!!! I was so happy!!!!!!!!!
