luluc

a few days later i had to have all but 1.5ccs taken out, as the cough/reflux hadn't improved. basically wide open - my appetite is back & monitoring portions is what i'm trying to manage. i have gained 6lbs back, but that was after losing & dropping well below my "normal" range....i go next monday for a barium test to see if the swelling has gone down. i believe it has because the cough & reflux stopped almost imediately after the 2nd unfill. fingers crossed i can work my way back up to a fill that day, cause pushing my plate aside when i can eat it all is getting tough!!! when do you go back to the NP?

that's great ebony! sat/sun - spinning class today - day off:)

same here!!! good point sandiegoubermom! haven't been great lately but will still post yesterday: b- 2oz leftover grilled chicken l- small ceasar salad, 2 BB ribs s- 1.5oz turkey jerky d- small ground turkey taco salad (few bites of shell)

hey all ~ well cause plain has such a touching way of speaking to me - i really didn't plan to leave ; just needed to handle stuff. had to put my husbands dog (yes his, not mine) down on friday morning, and i likely was a bit over sensitive last wk. i'd like to thank my FB/PJTP friends for your lovely words & ktork i plan on surfing that sight this evening w/DH to pick out some art work. i NEED this site cause i'm a fat ass who loves food - i don't have a support system much outside this place because DH and i chose to keep our banding very private. off for some much needed ritas' ....

absolutely not - i'd address you directly here or FB i'm PISSED - i'm PISSED that this forum no longer allows those w/issues w/the band to have a safe haven to voice those issue w/out commentary............while working up posting points. i should just do what taps did and bow out - cause i have nothing nice to say any longer, let the experts not at goal preach on.............

really? that's a shock - cause, i could be an idiot and figure this one out. why hit the complication threads if you've not ever had one - but have a whole LOT to say??? alex just needs to make it a mod & then the collective puking in everyones mouth can be heard - even outside of TX@!

sorry - don't mean you in this comment beth,

i get that - i got that ignore button for a reason. trolling the complication threads - score more posting points. *f'ing* disgrace.... but party on ...

just looks like the serial poster wanting to win that IPOD in the lapbandtalk contest........:drool:

yesterday- b- approx 1c white bean / zuchinni stew l- 3oz grilled pesto talapia, 1c steamed broccoli s- handful mixed nuts d - approx 1c chicken tortialla soup/chips

not gotten out of jammies today......... BARELY walked outside w/the dogs:wink2: i have been cooking for a few days as my friend gets out of the hospital tommorrow * my BF has eaten way to many subway & take out salads so i've been doing some home cooking for her..... can't believe i just made a pot of chicken & dumplin's and shoved it into tupperware before jumping into a bowl or 3. saw the curious thread - i'm going with the fact you had to be there as it was happening to appreciate; got lost fast.

hi josie - i'm in about the same boat, but w/very little fill (1.5ccs). i had a chest infection and w/all the coughing just inflamed in/around the band which made it impossible to eat. DH said to me the other day - you are just giddy & it's because i can EAT again w/out issue.....talk about being in a good mood! i go back on the 24th to make sure all is well & maybe get a fill - cause my appetite has returned and it's a chore managing my original issue in needing the band - portion control. i'm allowing lunch time to be my "main meal of the day" fish & veggies - as much as i want; the rest of the day i'm checking myself. enjoy your meals & i hope you and your band heal w/out needing another surgery!!!!

yes - congrats ebony, espcially on the NSV's & wogg'in.!. * ktork, i would love to do agility training w/my heeler - but i was given my money back because her socialization skills are the pits!!! think i've mentioned that - so i just hit golf balls to her. * TAPS , come out of hiding!!!!!!!!!!!!!! * no idea about the macarena stuff, think there are threads i'm missing here:)

can you do egg salad (tuna/salmon/chicken version as well)?

hey SDMom!! yesterday - b- greek yogurt w/blueberries & kashi crunch l- grilled shrimp (5) w/black bean corn salad s- 1oz raw almonds/walnuts d- white bean / zuchinni stew (approx 1c) s- glass of milk

no shit! can't hide behind a bmi of 36 & i couldn't anyway over / done with - just the creeps come out and it's strange you share (at least here in this thread) and don't expect the lurkers to read then hit ya up w/weird crap..... dh has "issues" w/social sites & me sharing here too much - but i'm a chatty kathy doll.......string always pulled.:thumbup: wonder if sexylips was reported to the mods????

yeah - i was SO reluctant to post any pic & when i did here on this thread in my wkout clothes, i got a few nasty notes......that i really was never overweight. pissed me off cause i really work hard (gym wise at least). so i blocked the skanks & removed personal shit -

have NO idea why someone would do that ??? this place really gets stranger by the day. heartfire - your afternoon sounds WONDERFUL!!! i have a wks worth of "my tivo" lined up - bunch of magazined, new cook book, LOTS of wine on tap this wk. would have thrown a parade for DH when his car svc picked him up - but knew that would hurt his feelings:)

well that's very unfortunate......i will say there is a BIG reason i took my personal info/pic down off this site last wk & that's because this place has quite a few sickos. while i appreciate those who do post their b/a photos - i'd never do it; but because you don't - you get shitty PM's saying your a farce. well if your on FB - you get to see me, i don't have anything to proove here... i'd like for her to post an explanation - but i doubt she'll provide one....

yes i am... my kitchen has been nothing short of a catering company the last few days & i just opened a great chardonay ; doggies on my feet napping ; laptop , well - in lap. i'm ususal not curious when DH is home - he's an attention whore.

ok - that's nasty. link to banded imposter??? or point me in the direction *****

sad thing .... they are BIGGER, muscular or not:) ***hearts ya too***

smart ass - i left ya alone on FB today!!!!! and yes my thighs are for SURE bigger than eli's:frown:

none at all - i have been spinning 3X a wk & doing the stairmaster much more for cardio ..... LOTS of lower body weight training, waiting & wishing it would catch up to the upper arms/abs:)
