Astrotoes

sorry I meant elevated

Ok this whole choking thing without the head evevated is fairly scary.....does it happen often?:nervous

Hey guys,I understand where you all are coming from because I look at your tickers and think I can't imagine myself doing as good but I want to try. Who picks the goal weight..you or the Doctor.

Hey Yoda thanks a bunch...now my poor little overworked brain can take a rest(you cannot imagine the things I was coming up with,scary).....I will keep this in my favorites file.

Hi, Yoda can you tell me what LMAO means...still learning this whole computor talk thing

Awww, no abdominal crunches....that's the last straw,I'll have to rethink this whole thing!!

Never heard of the Codiene Diet but 10lbs in one week, wow, you could have put Aitkens out of business hehe:D Thanks everyone for sharing your advise ,it helps so much.I find it hard not to be on edge about this this week for some reason.Hoping that next week I'll get to that calm place others have mentioned where they just knew it was the right thing for them.

Hey there Cloe Argon Yoda or any other of you bandit folks, do you remember if on the day of your surgery or the next day you had any apittite at all....when did you start feeling hungry again,what did you eat(drink)?Just wondering what I should take to the hotel room. Thanks a bunch for your help.:nervous

Does sliming hurt?...What causes it?

Giggle,from what I'm reading he is Dr.CoDreamy!Oh well I'll be at my all time best too what with that wonderful body wash/shampoo that they sent me.

Cloe,thanks....today I really needed to hear that! Priscilla, I think I'm at 7am, I hope that does'nt mean I end up with a sleepy Doc :notagree

Hey Cloe,what breed of sheep do you own,I see Suffolk and Dorcet around here....but no green ones!

Hi there Priscilla,welcome, I hope I get a chance to meet you at Dr. Cobourn's office that day.If we meet before sugery I'll be the scared looking gal in the corner,if we meet after surgery I'll have that goofy happy grin that only good drugs can induce.

Hey there Absteph,welcome to the February 7th Club!JBL , these guys are the Best,they have done more then I can say to calm my nerves(esp. on my "Oh dear God what am I doing?," days.:clap2:

Hi there and thanks for that info Wheezy,i will save all reciets and give it a try. Every little bit helps!

Thanks Gaffer, let us know what you find out and if anyone else has already done it tell us how you got along,thanks.....every little bit helps.

I never thought I'd say it but I really am sick of eating right now,it's so great to know or hear from you guys that my crazy behavier is "normal",like you Tres Chic I feel like I've been dieting forever so this last month has been a free for all!:welldone: Here's another question that I had regarding the procedure, did any of you use it as a medical expense when filing you income tax?

Hi There Gaffer, did you say the 24th? Thats when I start too,where are you being banded at? I will be at Dr. Coboun's clinic on Feb 7th .Maybe we'll become bandits the same day:bandit .

Thanks guys,I hope to get a handle on it soon,but I still get sad at the thought on not being able to scarf down 3 or so lobster and a couple of beer....mmmm my favorite.The smart side of my brain knows this is'nt working for me and something needs to happen,but the other side(sometimes feels larger)panics.

Yikes,now feeling very dumb as I never thought I'd be called to task on this one,growing up on a dairy farm I was often tramped on by cattle that weighted 1400 to 2000lbs,kinda made a mess out of one big toes and my hubby thinks it looks like an astrounaut's helmit...groan I know.:nervous

hoping your feeling better real soon....is this the first time this has happened to you with a fill?

Can't wait to start hearing of your weight loss,Good Luck!

Do you guys remember if you spent your presurgery time overeating like crazy? I feel like I'm continuously grazing almost like i'm afraid I'll never eat again after being banded:hungry: whats up with that? Also do you enjoy food as much afterwards or does it just become nessesary to live?Thanks for your advice it really helps.

ok,it does make sense from the calorie end of things for sure,I'm not sure why the carbonation is a problem but there's likely a good reason,thanks a bunch.

Ok maybe I will learn to live without gum but here's a biggie,what about beer? If the answer is going to hurt too much just break it to me gently.
