  1. Or you could just simply say is an extra terrestrial life form growing inside you. LoL
  2. This is not meant to scare anyone, as different people have different techniques, but this is the result from my first fill. It hurts as hell!!! The needle was NOTHING compared to the pressing on my tummy to find the spot on entry. Ouch!!!!!
  3. Are you talking about Christine Ren at NYU, by any chance??
  4. Hey, it's a super HIGH belly-button!!
  5. No pillow, but yes, they have me crunch. Surgery was at NYU, NYC. I'm almost afraid for my next fill. I never knew B&B were so painful! I had about the same difficulty getting out of bed as I did post op, I can't even lay on my stomach from the pain (although today was the first time I felt relieve). I think I'll request someone else to fill me next time.
  6. You never had a black & blue??
  7. Do you have any medical issues? You can start by talking to you pediatrician first and maybe he/she can be your advocate.
  8. Thanks! And CONGRATZ on reaching goal!
  9. In gonna need another one in three weeks... I marked the spot with a sharpie LoL!
  10. I only lost 3 lbs from the time of my first post op appointment, to my first fill three weeks later. My nurse said: "Three pounds.... That's GREAT!!!" That still would be less than you've loss in a month. Focus on your accomplishments not your "apparent" failure. You're right on track.
  11. I use to make something very similar to this when I was on Atkins-- I used to add pepperoni.... It's delish!!
  12. Cheer up, honey! We've all been there! This too shall pass.... There will come a day when you'll forget to eat, because you're not hungry at all. Look forward to that day
  13. I chose to use suppositories for my ivory throne issues.... PS.... I love B-52's tough love.
  14. You wrote "42" wrong!!!!! LoL CONGRATZ on your success!!
  15. I'm sure your "numbers" have changed.... What does he say about that?!! Like the other BANDit said ^^^^ he should do a better job at motivating and encouraging you. Tell him we said that!!
  16. Same thing happened to me. As a rule of thumb, I set my timer for every four hours; however, if it has been only three hours since i last had something to eat and I'm hungry, I eat a controlled portion of something HIGH in protein, like cottage cheese or an egg.
  17. I have a painful black & blue from the fill yesterday. How should I treat it, with ice???
