I've had to stop this same thing. No eating in the car, ever...lol

Sojo is absolutely right. If I remember correctly, you were posting about diarrhea yesterday, which will mean you need twice as much fluids. Calling your Dr is in the cards for you.

I was just going to suggest the fluro fill. Sounds like you have been too tight and maybe eating more slider foods, Soups, mush things etc. There is a lot of us who will agree completely about stress and anxiety tightening the band. Thats why I want to stay a little to the loser side, to be able to handle the stress tightening. I want to be able to eat solid protiens. Good luck with your fluro. Let us know how things work out.

You still have a lot of swelling, just do the best you can. The chest pain is from pills getting stuck, which also causes more swelling. Cut your pills up or have Dr get liquid meds for you. I still have to empty one of my capsules 8mths out. Do look at rx info and make sure they can be crushed. Every day things will get easier. Congratulations fellow bandster!

Everyone is different, so do not compare to anyone else.It will drive you crazy. The first 6wks is for healing, not losing weight. Keep following your Drs orders, measure your portions, track and make sure you're deinking your fluids. Congratulations on joining the banded side!

Count on it. I put your email addy in my phone. I usually see my mom every 3mths and I'm due to visit probably middle of July.

Sounds like everyone had a nice Saturday. Dawnn, thank you for sharing Erika's picture. The girls look so young. Don't tell Erika, but she looks like a little girl.She'll appreciate that when she gets older. Brad is truly a dear. Glad you get to spend some time with him soon. Michelle, I know you will ace those exams, as hard as you study. How marvelous to shop in someone's closet. It really doesn't make sense to spend money on clothes you'll only wear one season. So happy for you! Carole, you are absolutely right about staying on schedule. Eating so late just doesn't cut it. Sorry you got off kilter. Did you and Jack have a date night? I was thinking, now that he's retired, everyday is a date.lol Where are you, Terri & Di meeting on Wednesday? Can't wait for pictures. Terri, by tomorrow I will have my binding on and moving on to another baby quilt. I got the queen size kit I ordered. I really can't wait to start it. The instructions are amazingly easy. Even a blueprint of how to cut it. Thinking strongly of selling my machine and buying a new one. I really like my machine for clothes making and piecing, but neck not long enough. What model would you suggest? Ange and I ran around this morning for a few things we needed. Then we hung out around her pool. Water was chilly, getting lots of rain. But really enjoyed it. Came home and watched two movies at the same time, with my husband. Yep, every commercial he'd switch between the movies. At 6:30 I layed down on the sofa, just for a minute and was out in a flash. I really didn't want to fall asleep, but it was a nice short nap. Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

No, just a fool.lol

I live 100 miles south of Tampa. My mom & sis live in Gainesville and I've camped at the Suwannee River camp up there.I love that area! One day we'll have to hook up for lunch or something.

Well I didn't drink my hot chocolate before bed and here I lay wide awake. I had a really late dinner and just stayed up long enough to make it a couple hours before going to bed.

Congratulations fellow bandster! Yep, gas pains suck, but it won't last long. My dr said worst is 48hrs and he was right. Everyday after that gets better and better. Walking is the best thing you can do. Heating pad helps when too tired to walk. Don't forget to sip sip sip Water between walking.lol You have just made the best decision of your life.

My husband. After getting up the nerve, he said "whatever you want to do". After talking to his office wife, he did try talking me out of it, but they didn't do the research I did. PS. Office wife wanted it, but negative internet crap, stopped her. Wait until she see's me....

Carole, your FB picture has me soooooo jealous. I hate being jealous.

Brother something, too lazy to see what model. But computerized with 50 different stetches. I was looking at different long arm machines today.

So Guymontag, whats your fancy?

Must say, I love NC. It has always been my dream, to live in FL in winter and NC in summer.

Knew I liked you. Didn't realize you were from FL

I'm always very tight in am. But 12 hrs call the doctor or end up in ER dehydrated. j/s

like it so much, posted picture twice.lol

West coast of S. Fl. I've lived her 50yrs. paradise.

After losing fear of free styling, having fun. Paula just said she got your cups in the mail today.

Always good to hear from my c twins. Glad mini is ok, not happy about her being so busy or missing her puppy. Whats my girls plans for this weekend? Dawn what do you hear from Ericka? I sorry your time is up, Nicole. What are you doing this weekend? Breaking News..... Paula Dean just got fired from The Food Network for using a racial slur.... Oh my! Terri, Dee & Di, whats up with you all? I got up and did 3 loads of clothes, worked on quilt from 12 until 3pm and then sat outside for awhile.Busy, busy day.lol

Hi Ladies, Good to here from you all. I do own 4 sundresses, I do live in Florida. Paula said the other day that it was time for another picture, soon. Carole, you are right "progress is progress", doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as one keeps going. Good job for you and Jack both, going to work out. Like to see pictures of the flower boxes, after you have things planted. Glad you're sleeping well. I've actually had two good nights sleep. First night I had a cup of hot chocolate and slept all night, no going to the bathroom, so I decided to try it again last night and sane affect. Guess what I'll be having tonight?

Thoughts & prayers with you. Don't forget to take Chapstick with you. Your lips will be parched. Just follow the Drs orders , walk as much as you can and sip your fluids. You'll do great. 8mths ago I was in your shoes, best thing I have ever done for myself.

Stephanie, If you ever get to the point you can't get liquid down, call your Dr right away.
