Jammin & Losin

Sarge I lost another pound ...so you can update my loss as 7 pounds down!!! Thanks. I don't report has often as I should but I love this thread and the suport and boost I need is always here.Keep the thread going!!!

I find that when I take a B12 vitamin I can tell a difference in my energy level...it really seems to help. I take the Losenges that melt in your mouth in 30 seconds..so no worry about taking something that will get stuck!! Hope this helps!

Porclindoll~ We all have days like this. I hope tomorrow will be better for you!!! Sending you ((((HUGS)))):hug: You go get some sleep:notagree you will feel better tomorrow!

Wendy go on liquids for a couple days....then on to mushys ect...as you can. If this doesn't help I would get an slight unfill. It could be that you have everything irritated and kinda going back to your basics could help you see exactly what you can tolerate with food! I also am tighter in the AM but watch out for night time. I can eat more than I think I should at night. Protein drinks give me trouble if I drink them to fast and if they are to cold...this could be the same as with your slim fast! Drink it slowly and drink lots of water between meals. I find when I'm better hydrated I don't seem as tight too! Drinking warm liquids does help!

Lorie it took me 4 months to get approved and then I ended up having to have 2 surgery's 1 to get my gallbladder removed due to finding gallstones during my preop tests for my lapband.....so I had to wait 1 month after that surgery to get my lapband surgery done...What an ordeal...but well worth the wait!!! Hang in there you will be in band land soon!!!!

Sorry but my Drs. office did all the writing for my letter of necessity! Glad I didn't have to do any letter my self! Good luck getting approved.

I came home the same day!! My surgery was done as an out patient.

Ahh Thanks for sharing your pretty girls with us. I know you are proud of them!!! Their beautiful!

I love ((HUGS))!!! So heres mine coming acha!!!!:hug:

So glad to hear your not full of "CRAP" any more and that every thing has "WORKED OUT" okay!!!! :clap2: No really it could be a very big issue and one to deffinatly be concerned about...so you did the right thing going to the ER.

I know I'm a kid at heart and my 6 year old daughter likes the Gummy Bear Vitamins...so I tried them and its like eating a treat everday..I look forward to eating my vitamins. I ask dr about them and he said they are fine to take but to take 2 each day to get the right dose of vitamins.

Trish How are you feeling today?? Hope you are planning on getting in touch with your Dr. tomorrow?? Let me know what you find out!! I'm here for you with lots of suport and friendship!(((HUGS)))))

Well I'm back on the losing track for the moment and I PLAN TO KEEP IT THAT WAY!!!! After all I gotta bandiversary coming up and a goal to get to!!!! No stoping me now!!!:clap2:

WOW!!!! Thats alot of a drop in your BMI!!! Good for you Margo!! Keep up the good work and those NSV's coming!!!

Skye So excited and happy that you got approved!!! Man you better get to the store and get all your post op liquids and mushys and fast!!! Hope your recovery goes well for you!!

Jonothan I sure wish this wasn't happening to you!! I wish you all the luck and suport possible that no matter what has to be done or what you decide it will work out for you!!!

Robin Welcome to LBT!!!! Glad you found us and I think you will find lots of information and suport here!!! I'm so excited for you. I got banded in March 05 and I can so remember how frightened but yet so excited I was and just couldn't wait to be in band land....looking back over the last year it was the best thing I could have ever done for my self...congratulations to you and I wish you lots of success!!!

Stacey~ Ask as many questions as you can about the follow up care you will recieve and what it will cost you....seems like hidden costs can eat you alive at times if Ins. won't pay for fills or Dr. visits. Ask how many bands Dr. has done and what complications he or she has incountered. Gosh theres just so many things to ask... I think making a list was wise and that will help you remember things when you are there and probably a bit nervous. Good luck!!!

Courtney~ Welcome back!! looks like your on to the right track with your band. Good luck with your continued success and we are glad your here!!!

Trish I would deffinatly call back on Thursday...thid could be nothing but it could be SERIOUS!!! Let me know if you find out anything. Almost sounds as if your esophogus is irritated or something!!

Happy Birthday!!! Hope you have a great day!!

Cheri~ Welcome to LBT!!!! Sounds like your doing great with your band so far!!!! Congrats on your weight loss!

Dr. George Woodman .... Memphis Tennessee!!! Love my band!!!

I eat bacon ocassionally.....I love it but I know its not that good for me! Eat a couple slices and I'm happy!!!

Well I'm at 179 with my weight right now...and I'm in a size 16. I just don't know if I will ever get to a size 10 or 12 with out having a tummy tuck and something done with the thighs and arms. I'm almost to the point of feeling like I will probably get another 20 or so pounds off...but just don't think it will help a smaller size fit me right without getting the excess gone first???? Its so questionable as to when to have ps done. I want to get to my smallest that I can and try to tone some...but I know ps will be the only way I won't have hanging skin and droopy boobs YUCK!!!! Maybe I should start checking into it and start saving $$$$ for it now!!!
