  1. That other woman is fulfilling a void. Speak to him about how he feels what you both can do to be better. Also when you go looking for trouble, you almost always find it.
  2. My surgery is on the 3rd of April which is a Thursday. I am off Thursday Friday and Sundays, I have decided not to return to work until the 15th because of how my job is. I work at a desk, but it's super micromanaged,and I do not need the stress of bored supervisors. I. Addition to that, I have seen the agony people are in when they return to work three days post op, I would rather be in my Jammies at home than a monkey suit at work in pain and dealing with crabby clients.
  3. I see you all saying you have dairy, and lots of it. My nutritionist at the surgery center told me to stay away from dairy. I am confused,how are you all still angle to have it, and a lot at that?
  4. My surgery date is 4/3/2014, and this pain scares me. I've never had gas or heart burn. I have seen the pain in others and I do not want it.
  5. Are you sure? I didn't receive anything.
  6. Oh ok. One of my friends from WA will be stationed there with her hubby... I plan on explore ring all of Texas so hopefully I'll make it over that way.
  7. I live on the SW side of Houston. Where's Ft. hood?
  8. That's my biggest reward. I cannot wait to be comfy in shorts. I actually wore shorts for the first time since I was 13 this past summer because it was so darn hot here.
  9. Yes I have to do the two week pre op diet. I start on the 20th.
  10. Thank you! I am counting down the days. And getting excited about being active in the summer. Especially since moving to Texas, I am so ready to take advantage of the activities around here.
  11. That's what they say, but she was aching. I will walk I am hoping my gas chewable a work! How is your family handling your decision? My daughter says, "no," my boyfriend and all others are super supportive. Lol my daughter doesn't want to lose her "fluffy" mommy
  12. April 3rd for me, I am excited!
  13. I am scheduled to be banded on April 3rd, I am excited and nervous at the same time. Scared because I seen the pain in my coworker after her surgery. I am taking 9 days off from work to be comfortable in my home.
  14. Images added to a gallery album owned by prettyandbrwn in Before and After Lap Band Photos
    prettyandbrwn, a weight loss surgery photo album by prettyandbrwn on BariatricPal. 2 photos in Before and After Lap Band Photos.
  15. I actually took 9 days off I only work 4 days a week, so....I am only using 50 hours vacation. I hope it goes smooth. I can't wait.
  16. Ok. I'd like to believe my pain tolerance is high, but after watching my coworker, I am not sure I can come to work in the same state she did. I have a desk job but it's micromanaged, I work in a call center. Not only that but the environment is stressful.
  17. Hello people! I am so excited, today my procedure was approved by my health insurance, my only question now is, how long is the recovery time? My doctor's office said four days, but there is a girl here that had her surgery on Thursday came back to work on Sunday and she she is soooooo much pain. I cannot do that. As it is now, I am a light weight when it comes to drinking and pain medicine makes me loopy. With that said, how do they expect you to drive to work in pain? Tomika
  18. That's sooooo long. Lol but I will also have hernia repair, I guess I have to refrain from it. He should be ok...lol
  19. Right, lol I am definitely not dying for no sex.... Lol thanks ladies!
  20. My boyfriend and I have sex like rabbits, after surgery how long until I can get it in? What about "servicing him?" Lol I don't want to be too personal, but we are grown ups right? What happens if you gag? Will it cause slippage? Scared, Tomika
  21. I just like a deal...lol I won't purchase one. Thanks guys for all the feedback. And yes protein would be missing from the equation.
  22. That sounds delicious. I love pb2. When you had surgery wasthe gas pain after unbearable? What did you use to help ease the discomfort?
  23. Thanks Catfish87, I was thinking the same thing.i live in the city, so I don't have a garden either. Lol. I have a ninja but I don't really use it because of the time consumption. I wanted to get the juicer because it's on sale. But I won't use it....
  24. Awesome. Thanks Curvy. Groupon has a deal and I do not like how my ninja leaves pieces of fruits or veggies to choke down. Lol
  25. Well a juicier isn't just for fruit....veggies go in it as well
