  1. Yeah, when I first started after a couple months out, I had cramping really bad. Nearly a month. I'm okay now. It was tough.
  2. Hi. I still think of all of you. I miss you! School is killing me. But I love it too. Anyhoo, I got my very first "cat call" and it wasn't from my husband. And it felt kinda nice. I also got another thing like that too. I went to pick up my son, and while waiting, this guy kept coming into the room, and it wasn't to talk to the kids. It made me feel kinda sexy, though I don't know how to do that anymore. Besides, I'm very happily married. Definety, a mood and moral booster! Yay.
  3. Also, check water intake.
  4. Many if the above are correct. You've changed your eating habits. Don't focus so much on them. Focus on who is in front of you. Before band life, I would order this special, or that special. After band life, same thing, but a little different and healthier. If you make it a big issue, he will notice. Go and have fun. Enjoy.
  5. You're able to do that in a tanning bed.
  6. Protein. Water. Exercise.
  7. Do not feel like your lying. The Band is a tool, just as a food scale or a scale, or a measuring cup. If you weren't able to use the tool, you wouldn't able to accomplish the task. Currently, your task is to loose weight. Please remember, even with the band you're able to gain weight. There is no reason to tell the world what tools you need. As long as you're able to reach your goal, and you feel better. And you happened to look fabulous too!
  8. I've missed all of you, I've been going to school. Anyways, this week I had an NSV! A lady at work was giving some nice jackets away, size Large. Normally I never looked at them. Then it dawned on me to look. I picked one for me, and it fit! I'm still in awe!! Thank you Band!! Yay.
  9. Wow. I didn't know that could happen. Thanks. I will definitely be finding out what caused this. I don't wish this on anyone.
  10. Wow, that's kind of scary! Thank goodness you're ok. The doctor prescribed another round of steroids. Ugh.
  11. Well, I'm almost back to normal. Still some itchiness, but much more manageable. But feel very bloated from the steroids. And I finally feel like I can get back to my routine on eating. With all the antihistamines my stomach was all twisted. Glad to be back.
  12. You put this perfect, at least for me. I feel the exact same regarding WLS. There are those individuals who keep asking, what I did. I tell them everything except the WLS, and they still question. I also, don't want to be reminded as to who I was. I want to focus on who I have become.
  13. Haha. Good one. You made my day!!
  14. It happened this morning, but not now. It it happens again I will let you know.
  15. Hi, they will be able to test in a couple of weeks. But I think I'm finally getting relief!! Whew. It's been a rough week. I finally don't itch as much. Thank goodness. I can say I have not changed a thing. I've gone over everything. This has been very frustrating. Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it.
  16. It appears when you post, at least on the ap for the iPhone, it hangs, and then times out again. But if you close out of the ap and go back to the post, the post is there. It's just annoying. Site seems a bit better though. Thanks for all you do.
  17. Awesome! Simply wonderful. You go!
  18. Awesome! Simply wonderful. You go!
  19. Congrats. Keep up the awesome work!
  20. This is an interesting NSV! This one makes me smile.
  21. No dermatologist at least yet. I've been using calamine lotions, cortisone cream. Nothing is helping. The allergist says I need to get tested when this blows over. Which I'm hoping will be soon. And I don't think I'm allergic to the band. I've it now for a year. Hopefully I will find out soon.
  22. Thanks all. Whatever this is, it needs to go already. I don't wish this upon my worst enemy.
