Bless your heart Denika! Did Dr. B say what he thougt the problem was with your fill? Does he think he can put any back in again?

CONGRATULATIONS DIANNE! I hope to join you in a few months!

I got my first fill today, 1 cc. Like Angie, I'm on liquids then mushies, but only over four days. Needless to say, I won't be able to tell if there's a difference before I get back to "real" food again. As hot has it's been, I'm actually looking forward to a few days of just liquids again! Dianne & Angie, it's great to see your renewed enthusiam! I goofed off after my fill and just came into work; so I need to get busy and actually get something done. TTFN!

I'm praying for everyone right now. It seems a large number of my friends are going through trials, but God never gives us more than we can handle! The only thing new for me is getting my ears pierced ... again. I'm up to 10 earrings now ... 7 on the left ear, 3 on the right. John hasn't even noticed yet, and he usually picks up on these things. I think I'm done with my ears, but as soon as I get around to having it designed, am ready for my next tattoo! I want it visable this time, instead of hidden like my other two. I want a cross and the words "Jesus Saves" on my ankle. I want it designed because I haven't seen anything I like. I want it decidedly feminine, delicate but colorful, but with the writing still easily readable. Does that make sense?

Sounds awesome to me! I don't have a preference to time of day; the pool party is already on my calendar, and I'm not scheduling anything else with it.

Maybe we could meet after for a protein shake?

I'm still planning on bringing mashed cauliflower. My daughter has an awesome low-fat recipe. John has declined coming with me; he's funny/odd that way ... like it's "my thing" and he doesn't want to intrude?

I miss everyone! I can't wait until Aug. 5th, but fortunately it's not that far away! My 1st fill was rescheduled for Friday. Otherwise, I don't have anything new or exciting to report. I hope everyone is doing well? TTFN

I went to a family dining style lunch with 9 senior church members yesterday. :hungry: If you ever go to Shatley Springs, it's awesome! They bring out plates and bowls of chicken, ham, homemade bisquits, mashed potatoes, gravy, cole slaw, green Beans, cabbage, corn, pinto beans, fried apples and keep them filled; after which there's six kinds of fruit cobbler with a scoop of icecream. Once you eat your fill, they'll box up any food left on the table to take home with you! Between the ham & chicken, I thought a chicken breast would be the lesser of evils! I pealed off the coating and skin, and took a few bites of chicken. I thought I was eating slow and chewing well, but I also found the chicken quite dry! :cry The chicken got hung. I waited and waited, and the slime kept building. It quickly became apparent it wasn't going to go down! I excused myself to the powder room. Needless to say, I experienced my first PB! :puke:It wasn't my idea of a good time, but it wasn't the worst experience of my life either. My initation into bandland is now complete!

Way to go Angie! This is just what you need; congratulations!

I'm averaging 70 grams of protein daily, and I my multi-vitamin has 100% USDA for B-12.

Have any of you experienced post-op fatigue? I'm almost 6 weeks post-op, am eating by the rules, and am doing 30 minutes of cardio 4-5 days a week. I thought I slept well last night, but this morning I am dragging in the worst way! I can barely keep my eyes open! Otherwise, I feel fine.

Dianne, I missed something somewhere ... what accident? Are you OK?

I too imagine it varies from person to person, but I didn't get ravenously hungry until four weeks post-op. I'm guessing that's when the swelling had gone down? I get my first fill next Tuesday.

I was in a class at our service center out on Harris Blvd. yesterday. I was going back to the office downtown to get some time sensative work done before going home for the day. I got ready to step off the parking deck elevator and dropped my keys. THEY FELL DOWN THE ELEVATOR SHAFT! :help: What are the chances of perfectly dropping your keys in the crack that might be 1 1/2 inches wide? Security called building maintenance, who in turn called the company that services their elevators. The company said I would be charged $350 if they came out yesterday, but wouldn't charge if I would wait until today. I had to call John at work for him to bring me spare keys. To top it off, I might have been back in the office downtown for 15 minutes when security at the Harris Blvd. office called stating they had retrieved my keys! :faint:

As far as I know, I can be there. I don't know if John (DH) will want to come or not? (Never slowed me down any.)

When you started exercising, did your port area start feeling tender? It feels the way a bruised area feels; it only feels tender if you actually touch it or bending certain ways.

OK, can't make it tomorrow evening either, but look for me next month! Pool party, here we come! :confused:

I'll work on Stacy and get back with you all. Where?

Is this the same topic? Tuesday dinner works better for me in July.

Are you talking about this Tuesday, July 11th? Stacy and I have plans, but I think I could probably twist her rubber arm and we come to our local support group dinner? I'm free most other Tuesday evening too for that matter!

Hey Jersey, can a plane even make it here that quick? Dianne, I'm out on Harris Blvd. all day next Wednesday. :scared: I have an hour flat for lunch, and the service center there is almost like Fort Knox to access! (I may end up working out there full time before long, but that has yet to be decided.)

Lord I wish! I'm still at work, and I miss you! How long has it been since we've seen each other? 3 months, maybe more? You need to come downtown for lunch one day soon!

Here I go again with the newbie enthusiasm! I have scheduled my 1st fill, a follow up with the fitness trainer, and a follow up with the nutritionist all on Tuesday, July 18th. My appointments are at 8 a.m., 12 noon, and 3 p.m. They're all downtown too. Anyone want to meet for an early lunch on that date?

I get light-headed if I don't get a little something in before my workout; so I drink a protein shake. I'm at the gym at 5 a.m. I have my solid breakfast around 7 a.m.
