  2. My boobs sit fine with the bra now without the bra...LOL. That's why I want new boobs when I lose all my weight!! My port is to the left and below my xepoid process, the point on the bottom of your sternum. I think when I sit more bent over, my underwire is hitting scar tissue.
  3. Yes pls add me! I would love it. Kelly Casey Falcone!! Just let me know you from here.
  4. I didn't have a nutrition test, just a consult. The psych consult was ok. They basically make sure you do.t suffer from depression, you are doing this for the right reasons. They asked me if I ever used drugs or alcohol? If there were alcoholics in my family? Did I have a happy childhood? Then the computerized test was a hoot! Do I hear voices? If so do I do what they say? Do I believe in God? Do I base my routing on what God tells me? They ask you the same question a million different ways. Don't go in nervous, its really easy!
  5. I had my sx Oct 28th and I was out 6 wks cause I am a CNA and I move veteran's and some are 300 lbs plus. I went back and strained moved a stroke victim and felt something pull. So I'm on PRN, secretly hoping to find a different job. I love working with my veteran's, but I'm.not going to hurt myself.
  6. I have a crazy question. Do any of the female banders that wear underwire bras have tenderness from your bra? I dont know how to explain it, but I feel like if i wear my bra too long, I have tenderness on my left side near my port site. When I don't wear it as long, I don't. Maybe I'm sitting wrong or something, but i hate the thought of giving up my underwire support!! Thanks yall, Have Very Merry Christmas!!
  7. I did eat a mixed greens salad and it went well! I have even ate small tomatoes and it was ok. Chewed the heck out of them and I was good. I am a tomatoe girl, my mama had to hide them when I was a baby or I would cry for them. The only problem I have had is reheated food. It got stuck and I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital!! Learned my lesson.
  8. I found out how easy you get typsy! Omg! I was like ummmm, this is new, I feel like I did when I young taking my first drink.
  9. Thanks y'all!! I heard iceberg was the worst! I am excited now, cause I love me some salads. I have found that me and bananas do NOT get along. I ate one for a snack and 15 mins later I felt like I have a stomach bug.
  10. Good luck! Let us know how you do, I am afraid mine has flipped, vehement I stand it feels like the edge, I will to.d out Tuesday!!
  11. I have been craving a salad but I have been told its hard to digest, anyone else have problems??

  13. My port swelling has gone down since I have been on my antibiotics. I feel lime it sticks out more though and a little apprehensive about going back to work as a cna on Sunday night cause some of my patients are 300lbs plus and I have to roll them.
  14. I got gas pains if I drank my shake too fast. I used and still do use Gas X. I had a band/Hernia repair too.
  15. I had it too after I was banded, it was gas pressure. I got Gas X strips and might have to use 2 at a time or back to back, but they relieved my back pain so much! Also, I was sleeping sitting up, that caused me some back pain, I had to take Tylenol and it relieved the pain some. Hope you feel better.
  16. I was told at Thanksgiving that I could have a few pieces of turkey, so I ate the dark meat. I have come to realize, that dark meat pulverizes easier in your mouth. Try that, you may also be able to eat the chicken and tuna salad b/c it is "wet" from low fat mayo. I Googled slider food and read that when something has low fat mayo or dressing it slides through better. Good luck with trying new foods!
  17. I hope and pray this is the biggest bump in the road, I was told not to eat this morning at my dr appt, now I am waiting to go get me some fish! I have the burning and muscle cramp/pull sensation still, but I believe with the antibiotics, I will be fine!
