    Annoying Crap That Your Partner Does!

    My hubby is a pretty good guy.. he helps clean the house even folds the laundry (which I do not do), works two jobs and never has a complaint! BUT (ofcourse I have a complaint lol) he leaves his dirty clothes were ever he took them off bathroom floor, next to the bed, livingroom. We have to hampers!! I absolutley hate dirty socks so I want to beat him. He leaves his pop cans all over his night stand for weeks unless I pick them up then he gets annoyed and says I would have got those . WHEN???!! AFTER THE ENTIRE ROOM IS FULL OF THEM?... and he shaves his head and face over the bathroom sink and leaves it there.!! Oh but I love him and all that he does day in and day out..I always say noone is perfect you just gotta decide who's annoying habits you can deal with!

    Self Fill?

    First off I'm impressed that this person has the correct length needle. That thing is a whopper!! And super expensive! I know they are costly because once my port flipped over and my doc ended up bending 6 needles trying to force it in anyways and he told me id be shocked how much money he had just waisted! Ofcourse i laughed.. Anyways..I ended up in an er once because of an emergency situation and they couldn't help me because they had no needles of that length they just had to pump me full of Fluid with an iv and send me on my way to a bariatric center. I do not believe I would ever allow someone to do that not worth the risk! But I will say once in an emergency situation it crossed my mind to do it myself!!

    Sexual Question For The Ladies

    We have a great sex life. Honestly we usually have sex everyday. He just feels like it would be a lot funner if he could return the favor in the oral department. I do believe I may try and relax and let it go for one day. He will be extremely thrilled at the opportunity and I can see if its something I actually like. We've been together for almost 3 years now and at that point I was much larger and with having such an active sex life I do believe if there was something he didnt like about my body he would have already found it and left!

    Yes Im Over Weight But...

    I was at a swimming pool with my sister. I was very young but already very chubby. I was sitting at the food shack with my sister waiting on the adult swim to end because it was to hot. For her to sit on the pavement and a girl looked at her boyfriend and said " would you still love me if I was fat like that tubby girl?" And pointed at me. Then says " she is probably sitting here waiting for someone to drop food so she can eat it." I was so sad I called my mom to come pick us up I just wanted to go home.

    Survey Says.... Torn Port Muscle!

    I have tore my port away from the muscle 3 times. I've had two revisions to sew it back in place and needing a third just cant afford it. Pretty painful for a few weeks. With you child this will be hard but avoid any unnecessary bending!
  9. This happend to me. noticed it about a month after surgery. It was not my port incision though it was the small on my right side. It never drained or anything and i kept it clean and used neosporian and put a band aid on it for a while but no change it ended up healing that way! im 5 years post op and i have a little puffy scar on that side.
  10. how are you doing today mz.Gina? swelling getting any bettter?

    Why Greek Yogurt?

    They actually make sugar free greek yogurt but I can only imagine how sour it would be
  12. First off pinkygirl want to say you are absolutley beautiful!!!! Secondly I understand I have an empty band right now and I'm in the second trimester of my pregnancy and it takes everything I have not to eat everything I see!!!! And literally I could because I have no restriction! Trying hard to stick to healthy but every few days I just gotta have somethin I shouldn't!!

    Am So Down

    So true!!!!!! People forget this isn't just about what the scale says. Its about how your feeling, how your clothes are fitting! You can lose inches without losing a single pound. I didn't even buy a scale the first two years I was banded because I knew id become addicted to it!
  14. I walked as much as I could and cut out the sodium. Like a dummy I went right for Powerade over Water because of electrolites and the doc even suggested it. BuT I was so thirsty I just kept going!!! Also my legs and feet were the worst so whenever I was sitting I elevated them to take some of the pressure off.

    Why Greek Yogurt?

    No idea! I love low fat plain yogurt. Greek yogurt is to thick for me and bitter! Reminds me of sour cream can't stand it!

    How Much Do These Fill Cost High To Low

    I've been to three diffrent places for fills. All that offered free fills to self pay bansters (which I am not) my surgeon charged 250 a fill plus 35 for the xray room and he will not do it without an xray. When I moved to kc I started going to a place that charges 150. And in an emergency situation away from home I paid 475 for one. Really just depends on the place you go!!

    Profile Pictures Are Deceptive To Me.

    I still have 100+ to lose but its all in my arms hips and stomach.. my face was the first thing to thin out after surgery.
  18. Didn't relize the original post was a year old lol anyways... the same happened to me and I felt terrible for over a week I swelled like a ballon! It was because I was so badly dehyrdated and suddenly flooded my body with water and sodium! I gained 11 pounds within the first four days and almost 20 within two weeks but after that the pain and swelling went away and I lost half the weight I had gained. Just a painful waiting game!
  19. Same thing happened to me!!! I was swollen for over a week I flipped out. I've always been over weight but have always had the skinniest ankles and feet of everyone in my family and I had kankles and sausages!!! Its because you've flooded your body with the amount of fluids its probably needed for a while. It will go back to normal soon Also I gained 11 lbs and I was so upset but I was extremely dehydrated and should have been hospitalized so the last weight I lost wasn't fat anyways it was all water!! You will even back out!
  20. My surgeon was that way only gave. 5 to 1 cc per fill and usually I felt no diffrent! I moved and started seeing a new surgeon and I get anywhere from 1 to 3!! They have me stay a while and see if I can tolerate it Its great!!!

    Too Tight Weeks After Fill. Is This Possible?

    It's so possible! I had a fill last september didn't lose a thing actually gained 15 lbs. Then Suddenly in march I couldn't eat more then a bite and by may I was so tight I couldn't eat or drink anything! Ended up losing 60 pounds in a month and got extemely dehydrated and sick. There ended up being a kink in the tube that runs from my port to my band. I have a movable port that flips backwards and back forward whenever it likes. so the saline was stuck half way and one day I moved such a way it flipped back and delivered the saline to my band all at once and believe me it was more then I needed!
  22. Of course mine are things I really shouldn't have. Peanut Butter ice cream, cupcakes, chinese food, and cheese! Luckly I'm to broke for chinese food. cheese is good for me in moderation and I only allow myself the others a few times a week but I swear I could live off them at this point!
