I think my port has a mind of its own. Out of the blue my port will pull or feel like it's falling out when I go to sit up after I've been lying down. Then the next day no problems at all.... go figure!

Oh my, after 4 days in New Orleans, the last thing I need to discuss is mixed drinks of any kind. Do you all know how many bars and frozen mixed drinks are in that town and all way toooo convenient to the front door. Thank goodness I get a fill on Wednesday, I have to admit I am glad I waited until AFTER the trip. I missed everyone.

Thanks I'll forward these replys to her.

I think you should stop now! Your tummy needs to heal and when it's busy digesting food it's NOT healing. You can't undo the eating you've done, but you can stop now. You will find your band is precious and you don't want to abuse it. I'm not fussing, just warning ya.

I try to stay away from any bread unless it's in French Onion Soup. I do eat chicken/tuna/egg salad on Rits wheat crackers (not all at once, lol). I often have egg salad in the AM, for a Protein start to the day, I buy it by the pound. Kelly that's wonderful that you've now gotten rid of all your unhealthy foods, we only have one heart, we gotta take care of it.

Wonderful news, you've jumped one hurdle, now on to the next. Best of luck to you!

My mom was so excited because she found out Mailhanlers (sp) paid for LB, but when the doctors office applied they discovered Medicare was primary and not MH. Now it looks like she will have to pay. She's 73 and on a fixed income so I guess we'll see how much they will pay. She's diabetic and was so looking forward to getting off meds.

Lisa, I use to tell my DH that was the week God meant for women to rest, (the redblob week).

We're suppose to get snow tomorrow, I'm so over bad weather and ready for spring. Nice pics

I actually like pressing mine to be sure it's still there, but my DH would freak if he touched it and I told him what it was....men!

Just for fun how many people clicked on Rebecca's website, www.moonfrog.com even though she said nothing was on it, I did, hehe.

LMAO, Cookies in the shape of a cross, omg! It's actually quite simple, I didn't start riding a motorcycle, ie, a Harley until I was a Nana...whallaa---HarleyNana. Baking cookies, NOT, I don't cook anything (my other nickname.. Microwave Mama, given to me by my two sons) and the thought of touching any boo-boos makes me weak in the knees, unless it's my precious grandsons. Thanks for the visuals though ladies

Actually, I just left you another post about your name and made a couple of suggestions, LMFAO.

My DH and I are headed to New Orelans for a few days of R&R, I want to do one of the swamp tours, any suggestions which tour company to use? Actually...I was invited to play in a slots tournament for Harrahs, I'm so excited. The Marketer for Harrahs thinks I'm a big slots player, $1.00 slots! Not me, she's got me confused with someone else, or it could be that $1.00 slot machine I left my card in just before we left for the airport the last time I was in Vegas. Anyhoo, free room for 4 nites and a chance to win $50,000.00, I'm outta here on Thursday, wish me luck.

You need to change your name to Drama Queen or Comedy Queen one. You are too much, I usually get that gas pain on my left side. Have you tried that Gas-X yet, LOL?

I would concentrate more about being the better, healthier you! I don't know of many men who don't google at other sexy women when they can, huh Greg. Obviously, you're doing this for you. I remember just before my surgery a friend told my DH, isn't that great she's having this surgery for you, I said, "hold it, I'm doing this for ME!", and it's still the reason I had it done. If you DH loved you heavy, he will love the healthier, slimmer you even more.

Hugs and kisses to you both.

Denise, I had to laugh, that's not my normal day, I met my son and daughter-n-law for a drink at the local Mex restaurant. Before banding I would have had at least 2 jumbo Margaritas. As for the nachos, this was my first time since being banded, I'm terribly disappointed to find out they go down so easily. The refried Beans, well I'm always looking for any type of Fiber. I've never paid attention to what I've eaten after taking the Synthroid or now long after, but whenever I have my blood work done, my throid reading is right in the normal range....now is that normal range for you or me or Lisa? I hate that "normal" range stuff. There are some really interesting articles on the thyroid regarding the "normal range" theory. Thanks for the advice, though the margarita and nachos are not routine menu items, the beans are.

Well, what can I say that everyone else hasn't already said? Don't beat yourself up over a few bites, but anymore more than a few bites and you might have to bend over and let us kick your butt. Don't forget the reason for not eating is so your tummy doesn't have to work digesting food, but can heal. Take care!

Other: Any day I get on the scales and I've lost weight is a very special day for me.

I take synthroid and a baby asprin every day, but don't usually wait 2 hrs b4 eating. Sometimes I take b4 going to bed. The only thing I take alone and wait an hour is the fosamax for Calcium, oops, missed my once a week dose yesterday. You've done very well Lisa. With everything you've been through, you deserve an award! Have you tried those soy chips? Honey BBQ and several others, yum, oops should this be in the food department.

I feel for ya, I only had to do liquids the day before, then two weeks after. You can do it, just stay busy and don't concentrate on food...think about the new slimmer you.

Besides the Exercise in a Bottle, I use to go and pay someone to stick me with a needle for B12 shots. My secretary knew about the quack doctor I use to go to for years who would prescribe diet pills to anyone with $35.00 cash for the office visit, she use to laugh and tell me as long as I'd been going to him I should be skin and bones. I'll bet if you placed all the diet pills I've taken over the years end to end it would probably measure miles and miles.

I agree with you Marie. The only reason I haven't posted an avatar is because I don't have anything decent to post. I miss all the pictures too, plus now we have two angels, but then again, we're all angels.

Very interesting: 7:30-2 cups of coffee with creamora and spenda and cap of liquid Vitamins between cups 12:30-bowl of chili, (I was busy with appts Fri am), met dh for lunch 3:00-zone bar (breakfast) 7:00-1-regular, not jumbo, margurita, nachos (too many, didn't have any idea they'd go down so easy) with salsa 9:00-order of refried Beans (to go, lol) I sure can eat more after the sun goes down than I can eat during the day ps-Michelle, do you get hungry, you are soooo dang disciplined. Am I the only one that still gets hungry?
