  1. I thought you couldn't get chicken pox if you had already had them?
  2. I just got my second fill today which brings me up to 5.5ccs in a 10cc band. I had no restriction at all before this fill. I will be on liquids a few days so I don't know yet if I have restriction but I sure hope so!

  4. I would really recommend having an extra blanket for yourself in that case I am really looking forward to being able to do hard exercise. It might sound weird coming from a three hundred pound chick but I really like exercise and body building. I was a swimmer when I was a kid and they told me I had potential but that all went out the window. I want to be a bad ass again.
  5. Mine is Sombra1718 feel free to add me.
  6. I have only lost around 40 lbs but it drastically changed how I process alcohol which I figured out the really hard way the other night. I used to have very high tolerance for a lot of hard alcohol and every once in a blue moon I would drink quite a bit. I hadn't drank in many months and decided to try it. I only really remember the first few shots but after that things got pretty ugly. I was really sick to my stomach the next day but I was able to not throw up. I'm glad to hear it won't be the end of my band if I do throw up. But yea alcohol is out.

  8. My fitness pal is really good.
  9. OMG Dubstep!!! It's not for everybody but it gives me a harsh adrenaline rush. Some of my favorites: Lights - bassnectar remix Cinema- Skrillex remix Fight facilities- crave you adventure club remix In for the kill - Skrillex remix Bangarang -Skrillex Don't knock it till you try it. Some songs that aren't quite dubstep that are also awesome: Beauty beats - beats antique Stayin alive - bee gees teddybears remix Harder, better, faster, stronger - daft punk Smashing the opponent - infected mushroom Heavyweight - infected mushroom Crystallize - Lindsey stirling Savior - rise against Also anything by Ronald jenkees is awesome.
  10. So I haven't had a regular period in years and for most of that time they were nonexsistant. But now with my weight loss I started a very lite period oh about two months ago and now in the past three days it is out of control. I have never had cramps or back pain like this and never ever so heavy. I haven't dealt with this in years and it's kinda freaking me out. Is this something that happens often with the weight loss?
  11. I had some port soreness because of the stomach muscle use but nothing bad at all.
  12. My surgeon instructs everyone to start their day with a hot liquid every day to losen the band and wash through mucus. She said that for the people who don't like hot liquids in the morning she recomends that they drink a bit of the warm water when they take a shower. Kinda different but what ever works...
  13. Out of cureosity do chicken gizzards taste like the rest of the chicken? I have never thought about eating them but that is a good amount of protein!
  14. I'm in...name the time and place...ill bring the measuring cups.
  15. That is really good to hear. I'm only about a month out and I just had my first fill yesterday and they told me that I have to get my serving size down to one cup.
  16. I am a very emotional eater and my satisfaction is based on how big of a portion I get to eat. I am not happy with just a little bit of food...I want a lot of food. Not because I'm hungry. I know I have to change my frame of mind about my portions and I'm not doing well with that right now. I eat way too much. For those of you who deal with this head hunger I would like to know what thinking process you use to try to get around it. What goes through your head at that moment when you are about to serve yourself and you want to serve yourself too much. How do you motivate yourself not to do it?
