I layed down, stood up, sat up.. you name it. Whats the comment with "thick" ? skin being thick... wtf? needless to say I am sore and very dissapointed today. I felt like passing out too...sheesh. GROWL !!!!

  4. Hi Kids, I just wanted to pop in... rough day. Went for my fill, gained 2 lbs so the doc said okay... he poked me 3 times and couldn't get it in the port. He said to come back next wednesday when the doctor who usually does it is there. I almost passed out b/c he was wiggling the needle inside... 3 FREAKIN TIMES !! needless to say I have a major headach b/c I rush like a mad woman to get there and then back to work. WTF?????????? he said if it was done under fluro it would cost $300.00... OY! what a sickening feeling I got while he was doing it. Anyway... I will try again next week.... if the other guy can't do it WTF do I do? This doc had a hard time finding it... I mean you can feel it but he wasn't exactly sure b/c once I layed down it dissapeared ? so I stood up and that didn't help. I'm sore, tired and wanna go home.... Talk to you all later when I can catch up on your posts. :bananajump:
  5. It doesn't matter what I eat anymore.... just the thought of food makes me gasssssssssy beyond belief. And trying to hold em in all day long at work is a challenge, but one good thing is when I get to goal, I'll have tight butt cheeks :eyebrows: Its not a gross subject...not in Bandland lol.

  11. Andy thanks for this post. I havent had a fill yet and I've been banded since October. I'm VERY frustrated as you said with a frown... I can eat what ever I want...except I'm not disciplined double frown :bananapowerslide: :bananapartyhat: I am going to see the doctor tomorrow and I pray he will give me a fill b/c I am getting really down about this entire thing. I said in another thread that if he doesn't give me a fill I will whip out a 12" sub sandwich and wash it down with a slab of cake right in front of him I needed this pep talk... thank you !!
  12. Good Morning, Patty, call your insurance company as ask the status of your claim. They should be able to tell you where it stands. Hang in there.... good things are worth waiting for.

  18. Got this from work.... be careful. Internet security experts recently issued warnings about a major computer worm, known as Blackworm or Mywife, that is infecting unprotected Windows Personal Computers (PCs) worldwide. This worm is a significant threat to unprotected PCs because it is scheduled to delete many types of files from infected systems on February 3. <O:p</O:p Additional Actions You Can Take The worm is spread via a virus-generated email that contains an infected attachment. The subject headings, which vary, are often inappropriate in nature and try to entice users to open the attached file. If you receive any suspicious email:<O:p</O:p -- NEVER launch (i.e., open or double-click) an attachment to a suspicious email -- NEVER click on a link in a suspicious email -- Delete all suspicious email immediately -- Never reply to a suspicious email.<O:p></O:p> <O:p</O:p Is Your Home PC Protected? Blackworm does not discriminate. It infects home computing environments as well as corporate networks. IS recommends that you follow your standard procedures to ensure that your home PC is running up-to-date anti-virus software. If you have concerns about your home PC’s protection, you may want to perform a back-up of important data files.
  19. It just gives me the willies.... *shiver*

  23. Head games suck and are cruel... but we have to learn to deal with them. Stop looking. Let me ask you something... How do you feel ? We have to stop taking out that magnifying glass and inspecting b/c your gonna find things your not going to like and will we ever be satisfied? Its all how you feel darling, if you feel great then your gonna look great and it really doesn't matter what anyone thinks "chubby" is. I think you need to talk to others who are going thru the same thing, is there anyone at that group you can talk to? Years ago, I had lost 150 lbs. For some reason I thought I had to be at 130 lbs (I'm 5'10")... the skinny model look ya know. Every time I looked in the mirror all I would see was that 300 lbs woman despite all the comments people were telling me. They were saying I was getting to skinny.... WHO ME?????????? no way. I'm not 130 lbs yet... can't be. My DH never told me I was getting to thin, he just kept saying yeah, you could lose more (well that more was loose skin on my belly and not fat...oy..what did we know). I think if DH told me I was thin enuf, I wouldnt have gotten to where I am now. Anyway, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get to 130 lbs, so my will gave in and I started gaining it back. 100 lbs to be exact. The thing is, you will never make everyone happy, so the key is to be happy with yourself and realize that you beautiful just the way you are. I will never again look for that pencil thin person again, I just want to be healthy and I know now that my perfect weight is 170 lbs (I was to thin at 150).
  24. Some times the body needs a break. 15 lbs is a good amount of weight, maybe your body is saying WHOAH! Stop! I need time to catch up. Its weird, I'll lose one week and gain the next w/out changing anything. If your at 1200 calories just keep it up and give yourself some time to heal, and remember, its not a race. Good luck !!!
