Nana~

I did! in at 7am headed home at 5:30 pm

Happy Birth Day!!

Oh man thats is terrible! Im so sorry to hear that happened to you, and your hubby

Hubby had his Dr apt today, Our family Dr. said yup thats what it sounds like and yup it can cause high blood pressure his heart never rests. He has a apt w/ Dr when we get back into town to pick up a home sleep test. Atleast thats what the Dr said, we are actually seeing another Dr. So we'll find out! Thanks so much guys I feel much better knowing he's going in to be seen!

LOL okay okay I know it's corny...Let us rejoice...Lettuce rejoice... Anyhoo, I wanted to know how many of us can handle lettuce? I had a Greek salad today and I felt like I should have ordered like this, Can I have a Greek salad minus the lettuce? Cause I got really choked up and was very near a pb I could feel the golf ball but it finally went down.

I'd call my Dr in the morning, "My" dr says if I can drink liquids I'm okay. However pbing at every meal is not good it causes swelling and can close you off completely. If "I" were you I'd call my Dr. in the morning and do a full day of liquids maybe 2 to let my tummy heal from the irritation of pbing so much. I've been completly closed of twice it sucks REALLY SUCKS, please be careful. Your fill seems like a big jump to me, you may need to ask about taking out a cc or 2 if you continue to pb at every meal, againCALL THE Doc! Please

Can you do liquids and mushies? Do you pb on them? I'd ask the nurse at your Dr. office for advice. I was too tight so tight could not swallow my own spit, it almost put me in the er. The ticker you have to go and make a new one with your new stats.

I get gas too,but I had bad gas pre banding too, it runs in my family lol so does diverticulitis! When its painful I take gasx, I want to try beano but have not yet. Otherwise my family are use to explosive women

I think they are PRE op the liquid diet before surgery.

Curvenetics Lip Conditioner exercise · Sit with your body straight, shoulders relaxed and head tilted slightly. · Purse your lips and move them to the right a quarter of an inch ten times. · Repeat to the left ten times. · This exercise smooths the lines between the nose and mouth. And keeps the lips looking full. · Don't move your head. Don't squint. Don't wrinkle face Correcting Flabbiness Under Chin Step 1 Lift chin slightly upward. Step 2 With flat point of index and middle fingers press against indentation (hollow) formed by the two upper nodules of the larynx located at the curve from chin to neck. Do not be concerned in the beginning as to the precise location of pressure which you will discover through practice. Regard finger pressure as the resistance against the working muscles. Step 3 Now press your back teeth firmly together * and while maintaining this position. Step 4 Press the tip of your tongue against the inside of lower front teeth (gum line) increasing pressure with the tip of tongue ** in 10 or more gradual and definite steps (Count to 10). Step 5 Hold end position of pressure for 6 seconds (count slowly to six). Step 6 Release muscle work for 10 gradual steps (count to 10). Step 7 Remove finger resistance. Repeat 4 more times. Also I found this site that looks like it has some good face workouts http://www.carolynsfacialfitness.com/Sample%20Exercise.html

No it wont be that bad once you get back to at least mushies. It's up to your Dr. but the day of my surgery my Dr didn't have me do any "Clear" liquids I went straight to liquids~Cream of chicken soup was my savior! I ate jello,pudding and runny potato's cooked w/ chicken broth. On mushiesI ate re fried beans and mashed potato's and chopped beef in a blender with BBQ sauce!

hehe, well my old name Nana~ was a nick name from my Father. I posted in the other thread about that~ My New name well I really love all things Pirate in a video game my family plays I am Asgardia the "Pirate Princess" my sister in-law is the "Pirate Queen" founder of our guild "The dread sexy Pirates" Anyhoo, Theres a site I LOVE called http://www.piratemod.com/ They have a shirt called "Plunder bunny" its super cute and I would LOVE to own one! I like to plunder village and Raid! hehe NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH "SLUMBER BUNNY" I'm told my new name brought giggles when someone read it and thought I named myself after the Slumber party adult novelty! LOL The only thing I don't like about my new name is my initials are P.B! I went to sign a post and was oh no I will not sign my posts "P.B" ugh! LOL

OKIES GUYS! We leave on Monday night to my Mothers house in FL! I've got new travel food issues LOL I got my fill and I'm scared to eat real food now! Real as in meats steak pork chicken breast etc. The last 2 fills prior to this on have been way too tight and I had to have an unfill..So I'm nervous about traveling afraid I'll eat something that makes me Pb or get ill I'll swell up and 1) have to be on liquids my whole trip or 2) have to go to the ER and get an unfill by someone other than my DR! Today is the 3rd day after my fill so far so good guess I'm just nervous..I've had 1 day of liquids (cream of chicken soup, jello, and water) then I had one day of mushies (Refried beans, potato soup, and jello) and today I've had (potato soup left overs lol,and 1 slice of boiled ham lunch meat) I've not got sick on anything and my mom says she'll make things I can eat but I hate being a pain in the ARS when theres 10 people eating. Oh man... I'm prob. just getting overly worked up.. Right now Taco bell pintos and cheese sounds like it going to be my travel food.. I need good ideas on things I can maybe make at home to take, I was thinking beef jerky but not now! We'll be in the truck for Dinner, Breakfast,lunch,and maybe another Dinner. The kiddo's will want snacks and I know I will too.

I was thinking of trying that trim spa, mainly for the energy diet pills like that give me a kick of energy, energy that I have been recently lacking...Now some of them can make me jittery and I don't like that feeling at all... I'll try it and see I also deal with head hunger..Like last night we rented a movie on the TV and I wanted popcorn we didn't have any and it just about drove me crazy watching a movie with out eating something...Talk about habits I need to break! UGG...

WOOT!!! Welcome Back! Missed ya!

Congrats!!

Congrats! Let us know how you are doing as soon as you feel up to it! Hugs!

Welcome to LBT! Im about to be in FL visiting my Mother who lives in Dunnellon Fl, we go to Ocala alot when I'm there and my mom is very excited about your new "Hobby Lobby" ya'll got She loved the one here in Tx. Mom mom is thinking about getting this surgery too but having INS coverage issues.

Dry chicken chokes me up too, I'm just tossing this out here because I just had an apt. w/ my Dr. I told him about my Pb's episodes and he asked me how long it took me to eat? I said I eat about 1 cup in 15 min. He said that was WAY too fast my meals should be 30 min. long and my bites should me no bigger than a nickel! Okay so that put a whole new spin on the way I eat! Cause I chew chew chew by my bites are so much bigger than a nickel! I've taken his advice and have not had a PB in the last month! (Knock on wood)

Pre op: I had to have my 1st consult-Do the Ins. thing (30 day wait)- Go see a therapist (to make sure I was wanting to lose etc.)-Go to a dietary class-Take all sorts of blood work (not sure what they tested for)- Go in to get my gal bladder checked out ( to see if came out when I got my band)-Schedule my surgery apt. On surgery day I got up Hubby drove me 3 hours to Victoria TX to the hosp. We arrived at 4:30 am where I paid my 250.00 dect. they put my family and I in a room. Came to hook up Iv's and at 7 am rolled me down to surgery- gave me "night night" medicine. I slept I woke up in my room with my family, I went to the bathroom the nurse helped me shower they fed me a creamy liquid meal ( cream of chicken soup-non sweet tea-milk-custard pudding) Then My Dr. came into check on me.I was wheel chaired down to get my Barium swallow test. Then I was released and on my way home at 5:30 pm same day. I was very sore the first 3 days then started riding my bike again. (taking my kids to school- 1 mile)

WOOT! That is so awsome Wheetsin! Congrats! I know it's a great feeling seeing that "I need to lose" number fall! I'm so happy for you!

That sounds REALLY good. Has anyone had any issues eatting this? I hear alotabout bands and eggs dont mix. I havenot tried it too scaredbut I LOVE quiche and havenot had any in nearly 2 years!

I have left my (nearly)12 yr old girl w/ my 9 yr old son to go to the Grocery store to get bread etc. not shopping shopping. They did fine My son plays on the video games doesn't even miss me. Also I carry my nextel and she can walkie talkie or call me at any time, and She does I get lil beeps saying can I have (whatever) to eat? or Can you buy me some (Blank) while your there etc. In our old neighbor hood I did see something that really bugged me. We would ride our bikes home everyday and there was a little boy pre-K maybe what 5 maybe 6 yrs old. Left to walk 1 mile (Alone) to our street where they lived and when he got there everyday mom and dad were at work and the used their cell phone as a babysitter everyday. This little boy would be outside playing and his phone would ring and he would take off inside to talk. I figure he was suppose to be inside so he would run to answer the phone. I dunno I just think 5/6 yr olds shouldn't walk a mile home alone to a empty house

I read on here about peoples losing 10 pounds a month. (and They encourage me) I lose about 3-5 pounds and I'm very happy to lose it slow as long as I lose lol. I'm happy your back on the losing side LOL and I hope to join you soon! Doing okay with my new fill so far Been empty for a few months and I gained back like 12 pounds :second:

My hubby has a Dr apt on friday for high blood pressure on friday , I will ask about this then! Thanks He sorta has a off and on switch when helays down he is snoring with in 5 min. and when he wakes he is still exhausted so I know something is going on. And his HBP the dr says his heart never rests, maybe he isn't resting at all he just well passes out andgets up tired. I will def. ask about this.
