    Another fill thread

    I had my 4th fill yesterday, & it always is easy. They numb the area first so I'm good. I'm also afraid of needles, ironic because i have tattoos, lol. You'll do fine, good luck....

    i dont know wat to do

    what use to work for you before? maybe try something new? I'm newly banded & at 1st i was like "whooo hooo, this is easy" til i got bored, real quick. so, gettin this far is a big accomplishment for you. plus, it just hit me, I'm in bandster h***.... what i did to get out the funk, for exercise, i walk the outlet stores.... just stopping for a moment & thinkin, soon, I'll be shopping in this store & 1 day I'll be able to shop that store.... next thing i know i walked that whole place & it's big! as for food, i went to the library & checked put lots of their cook books & have been tryin different stuff to give my taste buds some life again.... hungry girl is a good one.... i don't know if this helps, but don't beat yourself up, think of it as a wake up call, you caught yourself & now you can pick yourself up & get it i don't gear.... good luck to you!!!!

    Getting cold feet

    I'm at the beginning of my journey & already love it. it hasn't really been so tough for me, thank god. but i too felt the way you did. now, my only regret was i should have done it sooner! as long as you follow dr's orders you should be fine. one thing i do know, only do it if your ready, i remember being in the prep room & thinking what am i doing, next thing i knew they gave me something to relax and i woke up in recovery with the Dr talking to me.... my 1st night I'm glad they kept me for observation cuz if i needed help they were awesome with even the little stuff like fluffing my pillows & ice chips and pain meds.... i wish you luck with whatever you decide, good luck and god bless ~_~
  7. i have 1/2 cup containers & make tuna, chicken, egg salad and that way their ready to grab & go. also, if I'm out & about, i pop a tuna kit into my purse so that I'm not tempted to eat out or if I'm on the road.... the kits are great cuz they won't go bad if it's in your purse for a few hrs or even longer, hope this helps, oh, they also have chicken salad kits, good luck....

    Now that I know what NSV is

    thank u ladies & merry Christmas ~_~
  10. now that i know what everyone means by nsv, lol, i finally reached one! i have a pair of jeans (just 1) that i could barely fit in, would have to lay down to zip up. now, i can just pull them down cuz their so big, lol.... also, the wheel doesn't rub my belly while driving, i think that is the best part....

    Hurting

    maybe from eating too much may have caused irritation causing swelling.... maybe try liquids for 24hrs and see if that helps, good luck....
  12. thank u for sharing.... i wish u nothing but the best.... good luck on your journey....

    so upset right now

    awe, don't get discouraged.... i went through the same thing & ended up gaining 11 lbs more because i got so discouraged, then i felt worse when i got approval cuz of the weight gain. then everything went so quickly i couldn't even wrap my mind around the whole thing! lol, I'm 10 days post-op & feeling pretty good now.... good luck to you & keep your head up....
