I took my kids to the movies yesterday and half way into it I realized that my legs were crossed, which was very uncomfortable before, plus the fact that I had to help my big fat leg over the other with my hands. I did it without even thinking and it is comfortable! Just had to share cause I know no one else would understand.

anyone here had the flu with vomitting since being banded? My husband and 2 kids all have it and were throwing up tonight. My hands are raw from all the washing, plus the clorox wipes, lisol and febreeze. I am so afraid I'm next. I haven't had anything like this for years and years. Last time I threw up was from drinking too much way before bandland. Is it ok to throw up with the band? Has anyone?

Anyone else's hair falling out after all this time? I know people talked about it in the beginning, but mine has been falling out big time in the last month or two, whereas it didn't at first... I am a slower loser than some, I think I've lost more in the last 3 months than the first 5, wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Dan- do you know if she's available? You could ask around in the office to see if she is. Ask her to dinner, all she can say is no, big deal if she does, not the end of the world. As a girl myself, I would be flattered no matter who asked me out, even if it was some geeky guy. I would think it was nice of them to ask, so just go for it.

Ya, is anyone else just lovvving eating COLD food???!!! The first couple bites are hot, but 30 min to an hour go by for 1 cup of food and its stone cold. I hope I don't need to worry about bacteria or whatever it is they say grows on food when it is set out too long. I need some kind of hotplate thing.

So I wonder what the difference in the bands is? Do the old ones hold saline? If the first one didn't work that good why did she do it again?

I want to know the same thing!!

Did anyone see Big Medicine last night? They did a bypass on a woman that had some kind of band that she got 10 years ago. It sounded like "malena" or "madema" I couldn't tell.... I don't think they did the lapband 10years ago did they? Anyway, it didn't work for her whatever it was.....

Did you order the last 2, because it says they are out of stock...

Oh, I just now see where they are out of stock... I swear they had them yesterday, but I could have missed it.... have you actually tried the PB, or just WANT to?

Steph, have you tried the internet? I found this, hope it helps... Supreme Protein Carb Conscious Bars, Peanut Butter 12 Bars Box - by ProSource - www.lifesvigor.com What is PCOS? My band is definitely tighter when I'm on my period....

Maybe it had something to do with altitude? Just a thought.

Can any of you that have tried the Supreme Protein bars tell me if there is any aspartame in them? Do they have artificial sweeteners of any kind?

Ok Steph...what's the name of the protein bar??? Sounds awesome...

How tall are you Steph? I am 5'8 1/2 and I weighed exactly that when I found out I was pregnant with my first child 9 years ago and I also wore a 14 at that time. It's funny how I can remember how much I weighed and what size I wore at about any given time in my adult life, but I can't remember what I'm supposed to do today....

Well speaking of mixed nuts, I just opened a can and all I could eat was maybe 10 nuts before I had to stop. Now I could wait 10 minutes and open the can again and eat 10 more, etc etc. but I am satisfied. So I would say get a fill......

Yes Suz, let us know if it works.... do you mind me asking how much it was? Can anyone tell me if you think eating a whole Lean Quisine is too much at one time? I can seem to eat diddly at breakfast, but by supper I seem to be more open.

Where do you get the crock pot recipes? I'm always stumped on things to do in those for some reason...

What could it do?

What does NG w/o scope mean, and what does nsaid stand for if you don't mind me asking?

MJ- how much was in your little bowl that you took to show the dr?

I'm here too, everyday, not much to say. I go for a 4th fill next Monday and I need it. I was soooo restricted for first 2 weeks of this last fill and now all of the sudden it has relaxed quite a bit. The weight is coming off soooo slowly:(

Well yesterday was my Birthday, so we went out of town for the day, so you know what that means.... eating out all day. I had a small amount of sushi for lunch and supper, (yum) and was able to manage it pretty well, I wasn't sure because of the rice, but it was actually pretty easy. Also had a little cheescake, but not a whole piece like I would've had, but only a few bites. I didn't stop at every ice cream and pretzel stand along the way either, so that was good. Sure is quiet in here, so I guess that means everyone is doing good.....

I was feeling like that too, and HATED it!! I got my 3rd fill Wednesday, only .5, but it has made a difference so far.... I was feeling restricted after the 2nd (which was a total of 2cc in a 4cc), but the hunger was almost constant. Now I seem to be satisfied for longer... maybe you just need a wee bit more.

Ok, I got my 3rd fill yesterday, I now have 2.5cc in a 4cc band. I ate some granola bites right after to make sure, because it's an hour drive, and they went down fine. I had some tortilla soup from Chilis, yummo, and it went down fine, and then I had a granola bar, fine... My hubby got home from work at midnight with McDonalds, and the smell made me hungry so I reached for some tender beef jerky bites, the first one went down fine, but the first bite of the second one, OH BOY! I was over the sink for 20-30 minutes in tears, spitting, it was stuck....and I had tried to take a drink to help it down, THAT WAS A NO NO! I finally had to stick my finger down and a bunch of slime came up, very easily I might add (sorry for the visual). I felt much better, but I think there was a little piece still stuck, or it was swollen, because I still had to spit for 15 more minutes. Now this morning I can hardly drink coffee, it is going down slow.... so do you suppose I irritated and made it swell, or do you suppose there is still a little piece of something....I NEVER want to go through that again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
