The slimes.... can anyone explain them?
I get them when I cram my tiny stomach full. My mouth starts watering uncontrollably and I know it's on!!! It's only been like 2 times, but I have to run to the bathroom and puke. It'd puked on a daily basis when I was banded, but I'm really enjoying the feeling of just having a smaller stomach. It's take some getting used to, but it's working for me and it will work for you, too! Weigh your food to keep from overfilling. After 3+ months I still weigh. It helps! Good luck to you!!!

Nightgown Or Housedress?
You're incisions will be covered, so really not a problem! I agree with the zippered robe!

Not Sure Where To Post?
Definitely have to have a ride home & my hospital doesn't allow cabs. Hopefully, your husband will come around, but if he doesn't, you may need to depend on a friend. If you live in a big enough city, you could probably hire a sitter to drive you! Good luck!!!!

Can You Drive Home After Endoscopy?
If you're considering a cab, call the facility where you're having your procedure & make sure that they allow you to leave in a cab. Mine won't! I'm sure their thinking behind that is, you can't get in a cab while you're under the influence of sedatives & they don't want to be held responsible if anything happened to you.

Can You Drive Home After Endoscopy?
No driving & no cab!!!! If you really have no one who can help you, you might have to consider hiring a sitter who can take you, wait for you & then take you home! It seems like a real pain, but it might be your only choice! Good luck!!!

Album Making
Well, I did that & there's all kinds of "prerequisites" that need to be addressed in order to upgrade. Since this is my husband's computer, (my son-in law broke mine...go figure) I don't feel comfortable enough to do what they're asking! This is REALLY more trouble than it's worth!!!

There is no place that says "New Album" on that page, at least not on mine. If I could find a page that had that, the rest would be easy!!!

Scale Doesnt Seem To Be Moving
My "3 week stall" lasted about 5 weeks!!! ARG!!! I thought my surgery was a failure, although, I was still loosing minimal inches. Then, all of a sudden, it started going down again!!! I realized that the weight at which I had stalled, was a weight that I had previously been at for a good period of time! Also, at 3 weeks out, your body is still trying to adjust to your new stomach size. Your body thinks you're trying to starve it & therefore, holds on to as fat as it possibly can! These stalls are quite normal! Keep doing what you're doing...you will be rewarded!!!
