  1. I was told not to eat rice but does that include brown rice too?
  2. I felt the same way! If I could have hit an "undo" button I would have but I'm super happy I did it. I was banded on 7/26. It does pass! Hang In there!
  3. Not joking....I'm speaking in regards to my friends and you would have to know my sense of humor. I'm by far a reformed fat person...
  4. So far...I just let everyone else know they look like pigs and they should come up for air! LOL
  5. Did u tell him be was being a DB?!?!? LOL
  6. I felt the same way!!! If there would have been a "stop" button I would have pushed it! I started my creamy soup stage early and the mushies a little early but I was very careful, ate slow and very little. I feel like that's what's brought me back to life. I went back to work after 4 days and was nauseous by the end of the day and had to use my medication a few times. I was banded on 7/26...it was probably a total of 2 weeks before I felt normal again. Hang in there! The emotions mixed with the physical weakness was brutal but t passed!
  7. There's gotta be a surgeon somewhere that will help you. I have a friend that had hers done in mexico and she found a doctor in Dallas, TX (US) that takes care of her and has been for years. I used True Results Weight Loss Center here in the US and they have several locations thru out the US. Maybe you should contact a large group like that. I do think you should get on this ASAP because you don't want anything else going wrong inside your body of there is still an infection present. I'm so sorry you are going thru this!! This is scary!
  8. For my Prevacid capsule, I take a spoon and put a little applesauce on it, pour the contents of the capsule on the applesauce, then put a little more applesauce on top and swallow it fast...kinda a pain in the butt but it works for me! The granules don't scatter in my mouth and I dont taste it.

  10. Banded on 7/26...feel completely back to normal and healed which is good. However I feel like I don't have a band. I'm hungry, I can eat whatever although I haven't eaten bread, rice and pasta. Will my first fill get this party started???
  11. I was banded 7/26 and had a glass of white wine this week. Didnt feel a thing (would have actually liked to feel a little buzz) I'm very stubborn and usually break all rules in some way. Im just bad like that but I try to be good
  12. I think I'll go with b***h...cuz b***h won't let me eat all the time!

  15. Confession: I was visiting a customer today and she was eating lunch. I grabbed a chip from her desk and licked all the flavor off in front of her! LOL I hope this at least gives everyone a good laugh!
