The pain was unreal! I was pbing and throwing up it was the worst nightmare I have ever had with the band. I haven't heard of the Papaya Enzyme before but I'll go buy that now too. Thanks

Thanks I spoke to the Dr and he said liquids today and tomorrow.

I'm alive!! But going to bed.

I did try that. I finially got to sleep. My neck and face are hurting today from all the discomfort. I just had to chewable tylonals. Should I take liquid malox or something like that the sooth my esphoagus? I'm doing Clear liquids today thats for sure.

I had 4 or 5 apricots dried ones arount 9:30PM it is now 3AM I have been foaming and throwin up some of them. The heartburn pain is real bad although it has gotten a little better. I have had 2 tums first one threw up, so far second is still down. I dont think these are desolving at all! Not sure what else to do. I hope some one has some suggestions. I'm exhausted and want to go to sleep.

not much relief! I have thrown up some and it doesn't seem to be desolving at all! I just had my second tums. The burning isn't as bad as it was butit is still there. I am SO MAD! I can't believe this. I tried some coke just a sip. I will try something cold now maybe that will help. I have a Dr's appointment on Monday and I really didn't want to go. But maybe I should now. I'll have to see how I am in a few hours. Needless to day I'm putting my self on liquids for at least the next 2 days! AHH

Hey is anyone awake? I am in so much pain!!! I ate 4 or 5 apricots arount 10 and I've got HORRIBLE burning and PBing. The buring is really got me scared!! What should I do?

Just think 30 pounds, and 11 inches gone from you waste! It is so worth it! You can do it. Throw them you will feel so good when you do.

:clap2: I have underwear!!!!! When SIL comes today I'm going to GREAT IDEA!!!

I'm excited and scared! But I have my date. He will be doing more of a lift than a reduction. I have more questions... How hard will they be and for how long? How long before I can lay on my stomach? What size sports bras should I buy for the recovery?

How exciting! I'm having a reduction and lift on March 12th I can't wait! I'm hoping to lose 18 more pounds and then in Novemeber go for the TT.

How fun more suprises!! Chrispy! How cool! I can only comprehend a little bit these days, sorry guys. Ok here is an update from the sick house..MIL rehab is still closed to the public! It has been a week and a half. She just started with the horrible bug yesterday, not good she never cries and she was crying on the phone. FIL good old HERBERT came home yesterday. He was up and down all night. Finially got up took a shower and came down around 1 only ate a half of bananna and some pedialite. Now he's back in bed. He is very weak and not steady on his feet. Kelly has a sinus infection, I have something, Garry is out of town and Jim thank the LORD will be home around midnight. Herbert said maybe I came home to soon! SIL comes tomorrow afternoon PRAISE THE LORD!!! House is a mess but who cares. Oh funny thing I can do everyone elses laundry but I have no more underwear!!! Hello, I have more under than WALMART!!!..don't worry I still have a few left, but usually I have like 30 or so now I'm down to 3! Night night Oh after I wrote this I threw a load of underwear in..aren't you proud of me!

Hey gang, Please pray that they will keep FIL in the hospital. I'm really tired so I cna't tell you about it right now but they are talking about releasing him tomorrow and Kelly is sick I'm not feeling well and he is really disorientated. SIL comes on Thurday so he can come home then. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers someday I hope to catch up!!!!

So what is the secret is it a movie you can rent?

Chrispy-What size did you go to if you don't mind me asking? I'm having the fears of being to small now. Sounds like the tattoo boy is real nice and supportive that's great. Beanie-OH no stuck in an airport how horrible!! Betty- I hope the neck feels better. I haven't had time to catch up..sorry guys... I'm feeling really losey today. Achie, tired, cold, urgh, FIL isn't feeling well and he just fell. Garry is going out of town on Monday so I told him no matter what he is taking FIL to Dr tomorrow. Herbert (FIL) got cold today when we went to Wendy's and he was shaking uncontrollably and then his hands were purple and the middle of his face was purple. Garry keeps saying lets wait and see! URGH how frustrating! So we may be having a big fight in the morning about him taking him but TO BAD. I can't be left home alone with an 86 yr old man worrying about him falling and getting sicker! Can you hear my frustration!!! Well I'm going to either jump in the hot tub to get warm f the bath tub in a bit. Have a good night.

Hi, just a quick pop in. I have been out of the loop for so long. I hope everyone is doing good. I fugure I will never be able to catch up..sorry..I hope everyone is doing good. The MIL and FIL situation is about the same FIL living here with us right now. MIL in rehab/nursing home. They are quarintining(sp on that one??) the center since this Monday and most likely we won't be able to go back in until this coming Monday..FIL is now sick he has the bug that everyone else seems to have..wonderful..Garry is home until Monday so I sure hope FIL gets better befor he leaves. FIL found a place 12 miles from here so it looks like they will be moving in there. He hasn't tld MIL yet so that will be interesting. Looks like my reduction will be on the 12th of March. I will know for sure on Tuesday but all seems to be going that direction. Other that that I have been eating like an idiot! Every thing bad for me goes in my mouth. The good thing now is that I have a date and now I have a goal to lose as much as I can by the 12th and also exercies as much as I can by then. I guess being in limbo with everything is my excuse. I will try to read up on everyone this weekend. Please know that I have been thinking of you all daily. love me

Beanie-Wow you were up late last night too! I didn't fall asleep until 3AM I landed p playing pogo and then reading. Before I knew it it was 3AM!!! Betty-I do the same thing all the time I always pittle around and then I have to rush I hate that. That stinks about your electric bill. Do you have only electric heat? Mary-Glad your little ones are better. Eileen-Howdy I'm so glad spring is on it's way!! I can't finish reading or writting gtg..love you guys

Thanks so much this all helps. I'll keep you posted on what they tell me on Tuesday. I'm excited and scared. I know I won't regret it though. I hope I can stay 2 nights in the hospital with all thats happening at home with my in laws...

Yes something changes just this week and they now do cover it. I hope you'll be able to meet us on Saturday fr our monthly get together it's a lot of fun and educational.

thanks so much Karenb

I was hoping that I'd get some help here..anyone here?

Well I have been approved! I'm excited but the timing isn't the greatest. My FIL is staying with us for possibly a very long time and my MIL is in a rehab. But I need to move on with my life and body and February is the best time for me to have it even though all this family stuff is going on. So My question are: How long is the recovery? How bad is the pain? When can you lay on your stomach? How soon can you exercise? Did you stay over night in the hospital? How long should my husband be around to help me? He works from home but travels quite a bit. Is there anything that you wish you had asked before hand that you wish you did? Did you help decide what size you wanted to be? Do you think your to small now? Do you think your to big still? Thanks any help you can give me would be great.

I ususally have a protien shake in the morning I have 2 scoops in it so I start off my day with 40 gms. L-few slices of deli think turkey, 3-4 triscuits, string cheese, PB or the cow cheese I can't think of the name, 2-3 pickles for my sweet tooth S-almonds or string cheese D-chicken of some type, some veggies bad night time snack, popcorn or cheese and cracker packets, 100 calorie Cookies, anything that I'm in the mood for. pretzels sometimes. I don't eat all these things this is just a sample of some of my snack choices. Oh this week I have been mixing yogurt with GoLean Cereal for linch or breackfast.

Hey guys its February..go to te new thread Mandy- feel better

Wow I can't believe I'm the first to post for February! We are having snow here in NC Lucy and Sandy are having a ball. It is so pretty out. I am thrilled that January is over. Seems like everyone had a tough month. I'm looking forward to losing more this month and getting perky!!!
