Jammin & Losin

I just wanted to drop in and say good luck to all that got their bands in April. I wish you all lots of success and good health to come!!!!

I took 1 full week off work and I wish I had taken longer. It took the entire week for me to get better. My first day back at work was only a half day and I almost didn't make it. Just don't rush yourself. Give your self time to heal! You will need it!!!

Wishing you a quick answer on your approval. Good luck on getting your band.

Gosh if they removed my fat pad all that would be left of me would be a set of teeth a few organs and two eye balls!!!!! LOL!!! Sorry I couldn't resist!!!! HEEEHEEE!!!!

Well don't just leave us now that you got approved. we want you to stay and complain and vent and tell us all about your banding experience. We don't just keep you till you get approved and then send you on your way. We keep you and get to know you better and help each other through the good and the bad times. LOL!!! By the way Congrats on your approval and please keep posting and coming here for support!!!

I think stress will be harder on your hair than the surgery. QUIT STRESSING OVER IT!!!! LOL!!!

I want a really big steak right now. I'm kinda scared to try steak yet!!!!

I deffinatly was eating less after surgery and I feel like I'm eating right on track with my first fill. I'm eating and able to wait several hours before I eat again.

Trish I sure hope you have a safe trip home today. Can't wait to hear your update on your whole experience!!! So excited for you.... YOU GOT YOUR BAND ........ YOU GOT YOUR BAND!!!

Trish might hate her band right this second but ya know what she will love it the first time she gets on some scales !!!! Kathy's right Trish loves us and she knows it will be really hard at first but girl has done her research and she knows it gets better and better!!!

Welcome and congratulations on getting your band. It is very hard right after surgery. At first your not hungry then your staving then your focusing on experimenting with all the food stages and sometimes you lose weight and sometimes you don't. The first 6 weeks is for healing then comes the real weight lose time. You will be hungry but once you get on mushy's and then on to solids it does get better. hang in there you will do great!!!

Chris welcome to LBT and I just want to say you are doing great on you weight loss. I was banded 3/18/05 so you got your band just a few days before me!!! Keep up the good work and I'm so glad you came to LBT. Come post often there are lots of good people with great support here!!

Welcome to LBT and I'm so glad to hear you are banded and doing good. Keep in touch and I wish you lots of luck and success!!!!

Oh Paula this just goes to show that life is so precious and we shouldn't take ANYTHING for granted!!!! Lets remember and be thankful for our many blessings!!! God Bless our troops!!!!

Gas X defenatly helped me through that hard time right after surgery. I like the cherry cream gas x. Hope this helps!!!

pb stands for productive burp. Sometimes if you eat to fast, don't chew well enough or if you just took one bite to many or ate something you shouldn't you might have a pb. First you get the "STUCK" feeling then you will feel like you are possibly going to throw up and a "PRODUCTIVE BURP" comes up and you will feel like your saliva is slimy. As a matter of fact I had this happen for the first time this morning. My 5 year old was eating a brownie and she wanted to share with me so I took a very small bite, chewed well, swallow and knew imediatly that it did not go down right. I got that awful stuck feeling and then I started slimming then wasn't sure if I would throw up or just do a pb.I stood over the sink and was in awful pain. Thank God I slimed for a few minutes then it felt better. I WILL NEVER EAT ANOTHER BROWNIE THE LONGEST DAY I LIVE AND BREATH!!!! IT WAS AWFUL!!!!!

Well guys I guess I'm not going to hear from Trish till she gets home tomorrow..... I sure hope shes been doing okay the last couple days... I'm just so worried about her! Trish please come home I miss you not being here and I hope you okay!!! (((((((Hugs))))))))
