Well two more weeks and I have hit the 90 day mark. This week has been the hardest.

What type of soup? Most of them have milk, rice or pasta in them.

I have lost almost 50 lbs and when I returned to work I was at a 40lb loss. Everyone started noticing, I get daily compliments at work about how good I look. Unfortunatly some of my students overheard about my surgery and have had lots of questions. I have nothing but lotso support from all teachers and my students.

I think i had the flu and that was why I got stuck so easily. No solid foods for a week. Today is my birthday so only a little ice cream and hummus for dinner. Glad to know it was not just me Saterday. However I have lost 4 pounds since Saterday!

One of the foods that like to get "stuck" in the band is chicken. I have never had a problem with it until today (at least I didn't think so). Today was the first and the most awful horrible stuck issue I have had with food. I did everything I could to get it down. I walked, I jumped, I jumped until shorts fell onto the floor. It had been about ten minutes. Then I remeber one blog that I read said to drink warm water. I did then, the food release and came back up. It was gross, not like normal vomit. This is what people call a productive burp. Then it became more than that turned into actual vomit. Not alot, just a little. But it feels terrible. I was able to have a little humor in it all. My shorts are way to big at this point in my wieght loss journey. So here I am standing in the bathroom near my sink, jumping up and down, feeling my breath knocked out with every jump and then it happened. My shorts fell off. Clear to the floor. http://tinkrisegrind.blogspot.com/2012/08/that-was-awful-stuck.html

How do you konw that the band has slipped?

I am at 45 pounds loss, I hate that it we loose the boobs first. I doubt if there is any way to know how often we have to down size our bras. Personally, I hate the extra skin right there more than buyin a new bra.

Sounds like you maybe to full from what I have read. I have a 16cc band, just got a fill to 8ccs and I am doing great with it. Isnt it a great feeling to fill the band working? It us funnt my de wont fill my band morw than 1 cc at a time. It must be drs preference.

A text buddy would be nice

I go back to to work fulltime this week. I had a thought today that I never considered. My job requires us to be trained in positive de-esclation/restraint system. I have only had to restrain a child twice in my eight years in my field. I am wondering how the lap band will affect my ability to restrain if I am in a worse case scenerio. I normally do not have to and have never had to where I currently teach. I just want to know what the likely hood is of damaging the band if I get punched or pulled wrong.

Tomorrow is the first day back to work. Up until now I have only been working on my classroom. I have been so.streeses today my calorie intake increased by 800 pts. I love what teaching kids, it is the politics that stresses me out. I need ways to destress. Give me suggestions!

Sounds like your brother is going through hard times right now. Don't feel bad, I don't talk to my brother either. I find him embarrassing to have around, he stinks, he is almost always is dirty and he stinks.
