Lawdy Mercy I hate dental work! I hope all is well for you!

My tummy makes all kinds of noise too! Sometimes it is VERY loud. I have not noticed it having anything to do with being hungry (for me) and being tight is not an issue either.

I went to my first siminar 11/06 and FINALLY had surgery 1/08. This included my 6 month diet. It was a long wait for me. Glad I stuck it out!

I was the same way. I did lose weight but near the end of my six months I chilled out a little not wanting to lose to much....

NEVER give up!! I too eat some fast food. But not like I did pre-band. Not often, but I don't deny myself it either :biggrin:

"If ya don't like it don't eat it" That is what I was gonna say!!! lol Trust me you will be amazed at the choices that are out there as you go along your journey!

Hey there and welcome! I think your doing great! Don't compare yourself to others because we are all different! As you get more fills you will see a difference and when you hit your "sweat spot" Yee Haw!!!!

I think it's going S-L-O-W. It takes a long time to pull up a post. It really can be kinda a pain in the back side

Your right Brenda....If she didn't like her name etc on it then don't use it. I can almost promise when she flashes that card the person taking the order really don't give a hoot about all the info.

Special K What an cool job you have I find it interesting and creepy all at the same time lol

Yepper on the Folic acid. LOTS of ppl take a pre-nat even if they are not nursing or preg. I sure don't see why you couldn't take it.
-
Anything with Simithacone in it will help Yes gas-x is awesome and comes in a chewable. Infant colic drops work well but you have to drink lol bout the whole bottle
-
I got a card from my surgeon but heck I forgot about it til this post. Thanks Has anyone USED their card they have?
-
I didn't get any either

Welcome to the board and congrats on the band! I know for me when I feel a knot in my chest it is a warning sign that I need to stop, I am full. As for the back pain..I dunno where in the back is it? Do you get it after you eat? Is it just random pain?
-
The six month diet seems to be pretty common! I had to do it, Time flies VERY fast! Good-luck to you!
