GROSSEST Pig Out Combo of Food
Penni, you're not well girl! Tea and cereal, OMG! Potato chips and chocolate, yummm, must be the salt.

Falling off the Wagon - slipping into the old "comfort zone"
You can do it Nancy, make good food choices NOW, not tomorrow, start now. As I'm typing this, I'm telling myself to stay in control. I went for a bit of an unfill today and I stopped on the way home and got almost a half a pound of egg salad, and ate the entire thing! But it was soooo good. I hadn't been able to keep anything down since last Wed a week ago, but now it's back to self control and it IS so hard. Summer's coming and I want to be able to wear shorts that don't ride up between my legs, goal #2. I met my 1st goal this week the 30 lb mark. YOU CAN DO IT.....FOCUS! GOOD FOOD CHOICES, Water, GOOD FOOD CHOICES AND MORE WATER!

Magic Bullet
By the time you pay all that shipping and handling you can usually buy it close to home and you know who you're dealing with, plus if it's a problem with it, it's right around the corner, JMO. Which ever route you take, you'll enjoy the magic bullet I'm sure.

Where is the first place you lost weight?
My face, then my legs and then the boobs.

Slow progress
You call that slow, you will be upset if things do slow down. Most of us only average 1-2 lbs a week if we're lucky. You go girl!

Question about surgery
My son's gfriend just had surgery to reset a broken leg and she had to take out her body piercings. The doctor was doing the typical run down of questions, her mom was standing there with her, and he said, ok all jewelry removed right? She looked at her mom, then my son, then back at the doctor, then she said, wellllllll, all that you can see. Yuk, anyway, they took the others out after she got to the OR. Talk about embarrassin, so I'd say, #1-Not unless you're really hairy #2-Oh yeah #3-Pretty typical Take care

Got 2nd Fill, but have no restriction
Oh Alex, I so agree about the overfill. If I don't get through today without pbing then I'm getting some taken out tomorrow. I've been telling myself it's just swelling or I didn't chew enough, but when I can't do chili something's not right, especially after the sun goes down. It seems more restricted at night, how weird is that? I can't even get my Protein to stay down. I feel great, but I don't want to make myself sick or start losing hair. Pretty bad when a milk shake comes back. I'm sorry Estela, I didn't mean to hog your thread, but I'm just saying too filled is not good either. Blossom, you're so patient I'd be so depressed, you've got a good positive attitude, I admire that.

Where's your port?
I'm a righty, above the waist and to the right of where the belly button should be and sewed into the muscle, or the muscle sewed around it, well, you know what I mean. Oh yea, I did this same thread several months ago, it's a fun thread.

I've also noticed for me it happens more often when I'm starving and I've waited too long to eat.

Pre-Op Liquid
I only had to do 1 day, thank goodness. There are a lot of creamy soups out there now, they worked for me during the liquid stage post op. One day at a time and in the end it's all worth it. It will be over before you know it, good luck.

Magic Bullet
I posted a thread last week, I got one for Christmas from my workers. Just last Friday, I took it out of the box. Either me or my son has used it everyday. He drinks all this protein/whey stuff and it mixes it up in 10 sec. He's new house will be finished in a couple of weeks and he'll be moving back out:banana , and he said the other day he guessed he's have to get one for the new house, hinting it would make a good house warming gift. The cleanup is what impresses me the most. I add a drop of dish det, fill 1/2 full with Water, put the top on and let her spin for 10 sec, then rinse. And it's so small, it sits in the appliance closet on my counter with my coffee pot. Buy it at Walmart or Kmart, then if you don't like it, they'll take anything back there. Enjoy! I'm kicking my own butt for not opening it during the mushy stage.

Is this really real?
I could tell a little in my clothes and my face after 15 lb, but I knew it would take 30 lbs for anyone to notice. So, now it's been 31 lbs, and I've had 2 people ask if I've lost weight, but family who knew of the wls tell me they can see it in my face. I've also had a couple of people ask me if my hair is different. I want to yell, "No, I've lost 31 lbs", LOL.

Cant get it out of my head
I had the same crazy thoughts too. I'd be sitting there thinking, omg, I've got a strange object in my tummy, then I thought of all the hips and knees that get replaced everyday. At first I wouldn't touch the port, now I push it all the time to make sure it's still there, where I want it! Enjoy your band.

Welcome to slimeworld, it really sounds gross, but it's so much better once you've gotten the cuprit out. Don't know if I'll ever learn to chew enough, that and too large of a bite

Eye surgery
Please explain the monovision. I can see a fly on a billboard across the highway, but I can't read the newspaper or the phonebook, would I be a candidate for that? I had both of my sons fixed by Lasik, they're sooo thrilled with theirs. My youngest even called the doctor at home and told him how happy he was.

Mushy food-any good ideas?
Ahhh, the mushy stage, so wonderful after the liquid stage. For me it was/is chili, chili, and then some more chili. Oh, don't forget the refried beans at TacoBell.
