The only problem with throwing them in the dryer is it messes up the wires that go underneath the cups to hold them suckers up. Have you ladies ever had one of those wires get twisted and start gouging ya? It would probably be like wearing a protective cup with a dent in one side. You could always just let them air dry on the door knob. Sounds like her friend is desperate for something to itch about.

Three elderly sisters were living together, one was 96, 94, and the youngest 92. The eldest decided to take a bath, she was stepping into the tub and suddenly yelled to her younger sisters down stairs, was I getting in the tub or getting out. The 94 year old sister said, oh my goodness, I'll come up and take a look at you and let you know. She started up the stairs and got part of the way up and yelled out, "was I headed up stairs or was I on my way down the stairs"? The youngest sister, 92 was sitting at the kitchen table having a cup of tea, she said to herself, I feel so sorry for them, thank heaven I'm not that forgetfull, knock on wood, as she tapped the table. She yelled back at them I'll be up to check on both of you in just a minute, right after I see who'se at the door.

Hallelujah, that's wonderful, you've been blessed.

No silly, ????? OMG, I hope not, LOL. Six week rule.

I'm surprised you haven't started vitamins, I took vitamins b4 being banded. I use the ones Penni told us about on page 1 of this thread, but Source of Life. No nasty aftertaste.

When I look at the size of the saucer I use now or the fruit bowl as oppossed to the huge overflowing plate I use to use, it's a wonder I haven't lost 3 times as much weight, LOL.

The first few weeks I dwelled on food, but I noticed yesterday I'm not as obsessed about it as I use to be. Although, with this slow weight loss, maybe I should concentrate a little more than I have been. Errrr!

Paula I love your phrase. Also, did you check out the rebate for the hp camera?

How long after surgery did you start noticing the hair loss?

Lisa I agree my sliming experiences have been when I was hungry too and woffin food down. The slime is more of an aggrivation, whereas the golfball stuck in the chest is down right painful. I have to walk it off too. As I mentioned in another post it seems if you suck air in it makes it worse, so I try not to breath, I even do a little jumping up and down trying to get it to pass. I rarely get the golf ball anymore, and I haven't slimed today either. I mentioned in another thread a few minutes ago, I actually was full today, for the first time since my surgery. It was a good feeling, but it almost made me feel like I had over done it, but no slime or golf ball. Hope you're feeling well Lisa.

Most of the thin, normal people I know stop eating and actually leave food on their plate. They just push it away, which is what I'm doing now for the most part. Tonight was the first time since my band I was actually "full" and I didn't slime either, of course it was chili I was eating too.

You ARE doing this!

It's normal to be scared just before the big day. The surgery was a breeze for me, you'll do great and be on the way to a new and healthier you. Good Luck!

I can feel my port, I only know it's the port because that's where the fill went, LOL.

Showers only here too.

I've got the Kodak 6440 and the 10x actual zoom kodak 6490. I use the less expensive one much more often. Ok Paula, lets see some pics here.

My band was empty after surgery and I get a little hungry in between meals too. I think it's because I don't do a lot of solids, but I do eat a lot of beans and chili. I have eaten very little bread or bread products, like a nibble of bread, or picking at a roll; no buns or full slices of bread like a sandwich, just the meat. I do well with Ritz crackers.

I have to admit I did miss the taste of food while on liquids and I went through the what have I done moments, but I had to remind myself it was temporary and now 8 weeks later I can eat what ever I want, but I'm very particular what I choose to eat. Although, with only 24.5 lbs gone I guess I should be a little more particular, lol. Good Luck

Immediately

You lost a person, good for you. Now that's incentive.

Jack, no warning here and it's so aggravating. I can eat one thing one day, a day later eat the same thing and slimeville. Then I may go a couple of days without. BUT, it's amazing, chili and refried Beans I never have a problem with. I have paid much more attention and it's definately happens more often with solids, like a small bite of soft taco shell or bite of a pancake, this am even soft mushy egg did it, (right after a bite of a pancake, lol). I sure wanted that dang egg this morning too, darn it. Some days I don't feel any restriction, then I'll maybe take a bigger bite and/or swallow too quickly and it will not stay down. So from now on at restaurants if it's not chili I'm not ordering it. It's so embrsn to have to rush to restroom to spit and spit and spit and well you get the picture. Good luck with the fill.

I don't think I've actually pb'd yet, just the slime. No wonder we gotta drink lots of water, once that slime starts, ya could fill an empty water bottle.

My secretary just had an emergency appendectomy and thought she was getting the flu the night after her surgery, she couldn't stop shaking and had to stay an extra day due to the fever.

I didn't have my first slime until after my first fill. I get about 1 every other day now, just when I've started to think the band's not working very well. It really sucks when you're in a restaurant, I've had to haul tail to the restroom twice now. It just keeps sliming until the culprit that caused the slime comes back. Usually in my case it's because I've not chewed well enough or something just didn't settle. Once it was coleslaw and today it was just the "last bite", one bite too many, not knowing when to stop.
