Here is a thread I did about exercise suggestions last month http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=5233&highlight=exercise+suggestions it has a bunch of cool ideas on it as well as what others do.

I too am a stomach and side sleeper. About a week post surgery is when I was able to with the help of my trusty body pillow. My body pillow is saving me, I highly recommend one. I also cried when making my chicken broth about the 5th day. (DH and son were having pizza). I take it one meal at a time. Once I choke down whatever it is that I don't want to be eating then I am full and it doesn't matter till next meal. Then, I go into the pantry, look around at all the food I can't have, then grab a different can of soup and start again. Now, I am entering week 3 and it is soooo hard. Hang in there! Soon we will have our fills and eating solid foods again like everyone else. That is what I keep telling myself. Plus, find a band buddy on here and bug the heck out of them sobbing/whining for hours on the phone (thanks Lisa and Penni).

okay, i feel a "little" better I guess. BUT YOU GET TO EAT!!! Ughhhhh, I just want to sleep the rest of this next week and don't even worry about it!

((jumping up and down stomping my feet)) I want mushiesssssssss! This sucks, she gets 1/2 solids at only 7 days post op!! Waaaaaa! Damn this creamy/liquid crap, ughhhhh. I am so darn hungry that I can barely stand up straight during the day from the hunger pains!! But alas, I want this to work!! And I don't want my doc telling me I did anything wrong so I am sticking.

OMG, that is awful Megan. Although I would NEVER EVER EVER do that, I must refer back to something my friend told me after she found out her "man" was already engaged.... "I guess I should feel lucky, it is much better to be the one having it then the one being had!"... then she dumped him.

((in my best Marilyn Monroe voice)) Happppppy Biiiiirthdayyyyyyy to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!

Your keepin us hangin Nykee... What was it? gas pains?

YEAHHHHHH PENNI!!! Happy bandiversary girlie!

6 weeks... may 7th

Mike- What is your band date? I think I saw somewhere that it was March 22, which was the day before mine. I was banded on March 23. Is this correct? How are you doing? I hope this post finds you well and recovering quickly. Do you plan to go to Martinez for your 6 week check up and fill? I will be there Sat May 7th for my 6 week.

I too like the idea of both new forum ideas... someone suggested a newbie thread (get to know the acronyms and FAQ) and the problems thread.

I am telling yaaaaaaa... advertise a "big ladies size" garage sale and they will come in herds (no pun intended, well ok maybe it was a bad pun). My mom and sister have done this a couple of times to raise money for different charities or support groups and have done FANTASTIC! We all know that larger lady fashions cost a bit more/are harder to find so they WILL come (be aware of early birds too!). Or, you can use the money you raise to go out and splurge on YOUR SIZE!!

Kathyyyyyyyyyyy, another day gone! Closing in nowwwww! Everybody say heyyyyyyy ((heyyyyyyy)) every body say hoooooooo ((hoooooooo)) Now wave your hands in the airrrrrrrr, jump around like ya just don't careeeeeeee! ((still doing my booty shaking dance for Kathy)) :nervous

You all need help! lol good thing your here!!! :cool:

something they didn't either spell right or used in the wrong context. the word is not in the dictionary. Therefore... your guess is as good as mine. But if I were to guess by the content I would guess that it means that they "puffed" out pink to be a little shall we say, ugly.

mine is just above my belly button and to "my" left, I wish mine was higher.

This has got to be one of the coolest sites I have been to!

speaking of soggy things.... i agree, i don't like much soggies but i LOVEEEEEEEE soggy oreo (double stuff of course) in milk! Not a wierd combo but the soggy comment had me dreaming about it... hmmmmm, would it be considered a mushy??? ((hamster wheels are turning))

Man I wish I liked Green Tea. But alas, the black tea is all I can get down. I gotta have the CAFFEINE as I detest any type of coffee/cappacino/mocha whatever with a passion!

I am a Supervisor. Summary of Supervisors Bring order to their home and work life Like to act on clear, achievable goals Think of themselves as stable, practical and sociable May be irritated when people don't follow procedures (kinda sounds like a cop don't ya think? I guess I am in the right career ha ha ha)

depends on the doctor sandie.. Mine didn't have me on one at all before surgery.

did you see the mexico travel suggestions thread? my only advice is to not overpack! Also have a wheelchair lined up for the return trip home and for any change of planes. Remember to take your heating pad! And as always.... the FUZZY PINK HOUSE SLIPPERS MAKE YOU FEEL SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!

They love me... they REALLYYYYYY love me! Come on Scotty, what's the scoop? You famous or what? We won't tell, hee hee hee

only by seeing the incision, if i press on it i can feel the port and a bit of hardness. Husband won't even feel it for fear of hurting me. I think within time he will. I have laid on my back and sucked in my stomach to see if I can see a "bulge" but nope.

Weeeeeeeeeeee! When do you leave for Mexico??? Tomorrow? Gosh I hope they have an internet access there so you can come and post!! I start my new job on Wed so that is going to be an excellent day for both of us! But gosh... you have me so excited over your band! i think i am more excited about your band than I was about my own!!
