  2. Very cute! I sent these to my Nana. She lives for this stuff now that she has discovered the internet! LOL! Thanks Donali!
  3. I hope your baby is okay! Keep us updated!
  4. I have the 10cm band & it holds up to 4cc. He said I am really tight. So far so good! But if I think I am too tight later, I will get a smalll unfill. My fills usually start out really tight & then loosen up in a week or two.
  5. You got it Regina! Good luck to you!!
  6. Dear Lord! I do not want to have a PB that bad! So far my worst PB was on a pickle. I know! But I love em!! Now I just drink pickle juice!! :high5:
  7. OOOhhh! I want to get mine whitened too! I can't give you any answers here, but if you do it, be sure to let us know how it went!
  8. :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Congrats! Keep us updated!
  9. I do stay full longer! Right now I'm doing liquid breakfast. I have always been tighter in the mornings. Then soup for lunch, & tonight will be my first night on regular food so we'll see. Although I did cheat last night & have a couple of bites of red beans & rice & it went down fine. It just filled me up so quick. It is scarry. Food has always been my comfort. Now it can't be. Good luck oh2bthin!
  10. Happy Birthday! Hope your day is a good one!! :happybday2:
  11. :hug: Hey girl! I'm still saying my prayers for you & your little one! Sounds like you have got a good doctor! Sometimes these days that's a rare thing to find. I hope you get nothing but the best possible news Tuesday!
  12. Thanks Dee Dee! I hope you get to yours too!
  13. :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: Congrats!!
  14. Hang in there! Sometimes it does take a while!
  15. Good luck Kristi! It's actually kinda scarry. I have never had restriction like this. But finally, I eat about 1/2 cup of soup & I'm full!
  16. I agree with Anne! Stick with liquids! Good luck!
  17. I just looked it up! That is one sweet ride! Have fun!
  18. At least for a long while I hope! I had pretty decent restriction with my third fill but still felt like I needed a little more. So he gave me 0.4cc more today. He sat me up & had me drink water & I could tell a difference. Then when I was wheeled out to the recovery room I was still drinking water & I almost made him take some out! LOL!! I told him that the water wasn't going down. He tilted my cup over & looked at me & proceeded to tell me to quit gulping my water! LOL!! I have not had this much restriction since immediately after surgery! After I thought about what he said I started grinning & said, " So this is what real restriction feels like?" He laughed. So I decided to live with it for a couple of days & see how it goes. I'm not too tight. I ate cream of broccoli soup & it went through, but with RESTRICTION!!! Finally! I'm full!!!! :clap2: :whoo: :clap: :rockon::thumb::cheer2::woot: :D :Banane44: :Banane33: :Banane21: :Banane10: :eek: :Banane09: :Banane20: :banana
  19. You're normal! Don't be shocked or upset if you gain weight before you have a fill or even after a fill! It took me 3 fills to reach a level of good restriction! Just focus on following the guidelines your surgeon gave you & on letting your tummy heal!
  20. I feel you Dee Dee! Mine are drooping too!
  21. we're all behind you here! I so hope they pick you! They're crazy if they don't! When will you know?
