My belly button looks like an ass. I am not impressed.

They put it in and took it out while I was under. I remember saying "judging by how my throat feels right now, I'm going to guess I had a breathing tube". But it really wasn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Definitely didn't hurt. She rubbed lidocaine on first - I didn't even FEEL it.

Well I ate an egg, one slice of toast AND a yogurt. Grr.

I don't think I have much. I haven't really pushed my luck, though. She said they could take a few days to "settle in", too.

What if there's a software error? Would you need another surgery? I guess it's no different than a port flipping, or some such. Just seems like there might be more room for failure when you get computers involved.

I love Lane Bryant - but I won't miss it. :drool:

I keep reading the title of this thread as "supersized diet". That's the one I was on before the band, for sure. :drool:

4 weeks after surgery and then 3 weeks after that.

No, just the main one. The small ones don't bother me much. :drool:

You may still have some swelling from surgery, it's hard to say if you'll need a fill once you get 4-6 weeks out or however long your doctor requires.

But I have some heavier days and some lighter days. If I weigh once a week only, what if I weigh on the heavy day? I need to know where I'm at more often than that. LOL

I have a weakness for ice cream, too. And, they said no, also. But I gotta have my fix, so I limit it and account for the calories. :huh2:

I've been stuck for about a week. I think I've actually been not eating enough. My body tends to hold on if I dip below 1000 calories a day. So, as crazy as it sounds, you might not be eating ENOUGH! Just keep the faith, it will come! Right now your body is going "WHOA WHAT THE HELL!". Once it makes sense of the surgery and the new eating habits, it will start to let go :smile:

Wow, I am not sure what I will do if I can't eat salads. I don't mind giving up cheeseburgers and all that, but I love my salads! LOL

Oh I have them! And I've been popping them like some kind of junkie. Anyone around me even looks a little green, I'm popping the pill. I even asked yesterday if I was really supposed to be taking these preemptively, and she said it was fine. :smile: I'll do anything to not puke. LOL

My plan for today was to take my little guy to the rec center today while the older kids were in school. The daycare is usually full, but if not, I was going to put him in while I worked out a little, then get him out and spend some time screwing around in the pool. We pay for these memberships every year, and every time I try to go, something happens. This time, my 5 year old is puking. (ETA: Not in the toilet, if you know what I mean) On another note, he's the 4th of 5 kids to be throwing up, which is making me increasingly nervous about my own stomach. When my daughter was sick, I didn't come out of my room all day. But now my dh is convinced he's sick (which will go on for at least another week), so it's me and the vomit. Ugh. I don't know what I'll do if I get the flu!!!!!!!! Both bandwise and otherwise! Not a good day here. LOL I'm not trying to sound totally selfish, I'm sorry everyone is sick but urgh. :smile:

I used Goo Gone. LOL! My husband was mortified. None of the sticky stuff was near an incision, so it's not like I was getting it in my cuts. But he was still freaked out I'd put Goo Gone on my skin.

My dr requires 2 weeks of Medifast. It wasn't the most fun I've ever had, but it was easy enough. Not much to figure out, just eat 5 packets of stuff a day. And, I will say, after the first 3 days I wasn't hungry!

I was on the last day of the "mushy" diet, which I will say my dr is pretty generous with what counts as mushy. I want some nuts, though. Isn't that odd? Not like I went around eating nuts all the time. LOL

That would be fabulous! I've been stuck at the same weight for over a week, maybe this is what I need to break that.

I never liked Blake, either. I thought I was the only one. I think this year is the best yet as far as talent, although I'm not super excited about any of the girls.

It was quick and easy. She put 3cc in (I have a 10cc band). Water went right down, so not sure how tight it is yet. My next appt is April 2nd.

I weigh myself in the morning, and also before I go to bed. I know I'm usually around 2 pounds lighter in the morning than before bed, so no big surprises in the morning. LOL
