I got my first fill on Tuesday. I am on mushies today and tomorrow. You are still very sollen give yourself time to heal. When you start getting hungry and eating almost as much as you used to you will want a fill.

What a dork I am!! Congrats on your date!

Dr. Voellinger is at Presbyterian. You can ask to speak to Bobbie, she maybe able to help you. Good luck. I'll say a prayer for you.

That is so cool!! Look your half way there!!!! How exciting! You are an inspiration to us all, and GREAT FRIEND! I'm proud of you!!!

Hang in there, you know that if it is meant to be it will be done. Don't give up! Maybe even go into the offices and see if the face to face plead would help. Good Luck,

Hey guys, I have been crazy ad haven't been able to keep up with ya'll (NC talk) Tomorrow AM is my first fill then I have a major full day I'll be away from home from 7-9 yuk long day and I have a real bad cough. OH I made # 2 on the top 20 losers at curves fro the year!!! I'm a bit nervous about having the fill, but I think I'm ready for it. I did eat some junky fat foods tonight. So now it's liquid time for the next few days. I probably won't be back here until Wednesday.....

Thanks so much EVERYONE!! This is a great thread!!

How exciting for you to be able to look back on a tough year and recognize the choices that you have made, and to be pleased with your self. WTG!!! Congats

I'm so so sorry you feel so bad. I hear you and I bet most of us if not all of us have flet the same way. Weather you have the band or not, you are trying to help your self by being here on this site. You have tons of girl friends here who understand and hurt at times the way you do. It is real hard to try to FIT IN to an existing group and being heavy makes it harder. At least thats what we think. I am sure that your are a beautiful person both inside and out. No matter what size we are if we love our selfs and think positive about ourselves everything looks brighter. It sounds to me like you may want to talk to your doc about anti-depressants. I have been on them for a hundred yrs it seems like. You also may want to talk to a counsler. The right one can help alot. I STRONGLY recommend a book written by Shad Helmstedder called "WHAT TO SAY WHEN YOU TALK TO YOUR SELF" This is a life chnging book for many people. It has been out for a while, so you may need to special order it. It comes in paper back. I hope that I have given you a little hope and not a lecture. Hang in there and God Bless

HI gang, I've been crazy busy these last few days. Haven't had time to read on here much but by glancing it sounds like everyone is cold and happy. I'm coming to NJ on the 27th it will be my usual whilwin trip, trying to run all over the state and see everyone! But I am looking forward to it. My sisters are flying in tomorrow for my BD! I'm so excited one of them I haven't seen since February. Stay warm!

You know how little we eat anyway. Well who wants plastic in there food!!! I made myself the Stoffers chicken Enchilada Suisa fr diner tonight. My bits aren't that bag but they are not tinny either. As I'm eating this I see what looks like an onion. I did think that was kind of wierd. I pulled the onion out only to find out that it was a THICKER piece of plastic. I have no idea if it was my nerves or not but I still feel like I have something stuck in my throat. I tried drinking hot tea, Water and some crackers. It feels better, but still there. I called Stoffers and guess what they are sending me more coupons for more plastic!! I could care less about the free meals! I'm just conserned about my band and how this piece of plastic is going to go through!!!!

no carbonation.... take at least 20-30 minutes to eat. What I would like to know is what about over the counter do's and don'ts for colds. sre throats, tummy aches.... How about nightquil? Thanks for doing this post!!!

More good news! They were able to do the surgery through his rectom. This is what Kim was hoping for. She hasn't gotten any sleep and it will be a long few days, so feel free to give her a call or stop by. Lets keep praying. He will be on liquids for 48 hours them food and then he has to go to the BR to make sure everything is ok.

Go for it!! I can say that only because I went on a cruise not even 3 weeks out and I lost 5 1/2 pounds. I felt great and was able to try food I wwould have never spent money on at home.

I votes too, but I am a newey bandster (Sept)

Wow that is great! Congrats. It is an awesome feeling when you hear those compliments!!

AHH Kim by the time you read this I bet you'll be home. Hang in there, we love ya. I have my core group coming over tonight so Curtis will have a whole bunch more prayers going his way and yours.

It is nuts! We had church this morning them went out to Celebrate birthdays with some friends then we have a concert at church tonight and a party after that. What are we going to do come January and February...lol...well all be saying how bored we are! I don't know about you guys, but I have been having bites of sweets. Really how can you not this time of yr!

I hate this it isn't fair!! I will call the office tomorrow and talk to them about it. We now have named it Clifford!!! remember him, the big red dog!!! (kinda sick I know, but funny and true!)

Wow we all have a lot going and and we all seem to be struggling with some type of head thing! Aren't we lucky!!!! You know I was real crabby today, I mean a real SUPER _ _ _ _ _ on wheels. The house is a mess with the transition of decorations and shopping bags. The laundry is backed up, the dishwasher is full, and I'm really tired. My sisters are flying in for my birthday on Thursday and of course I want everything perfect. I took a few minutes for a quickie-nap and I started thinking that I am making everyone one around me on edge. I have a wonderful husband, (even though he makes me nuts at times) and 2 GREAT kids who are old enough to live on there own but still live home which I LOVE! I am prclaiming that these days are special and memorable. I am truly blessed to have a relationship with my Lord, my children, husband and friends. So I am going to get ALL this stuff done, But I'm going to do it with a smile on my face and joy in my heart. No matter what we have going on, December seems to make me more sensitive than other months. I think we all need to sit back a minute and think about how blessed we are for what we've got. We are all praying for our little Curtis and I know in my heart he will do great and be running around with big smiles on his face in a real short time. How cool that he is having the surgery this week so when Santa comes he can feel GREAT! Even though these are scary times for you Kim, take a deep breath and feel all our prayers and love.

I love that idea. Consider me in!!!

Hi gang, I was hoping for some suggestions as to what I should do in regards to my first fill. As a lot of you know I was PMSing and going nuts for food and chocolate! Well as of today, I have no cravings and I'm not hungry. So I guess those hunger pains/thoughts were all related. I haven't even cared about eating today. So do I need that fill? I was doing so well that the last time I had a Dr.s appointment he said lets hold off. Of course that was back in October. I also got a suggestion from a friend to increase my wellbrutin when I was pmsing. my RX calls for a lot more that what I've been taking. So I think that was a great suggestion. Of course I will notify the PC about that next time I see her. Thanks ahead of time for your help. di
