OMG that's awful. Glad your friend is better now. When I was in my research phase I came across his web site and it says he'll do breast augmentation too. Whatta deal, lol.

LMAO LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL Best one yet! :thumbup:

Hi. I'm doing pretty good. I feel a lot better now that I can have my Protein drinks and Vitamins. I have introduced myself to 1 type of mushy food, tuna. It tastes sooo good. I have to chew it so much it's like chewing gum though. My hunger is pretty controlled now that I can drink the shakes. I can't sleep on my left side either and only sore where port is if I do to much. How are all the other 3/3 bandsters?

:eek:OMG I thought I was going to pass out. :cursing: I got as far as them sticking the 2 rods in. :cursing: Sqweemish? I guess that's me, lol. I think I'm going to sit in a corner and have an anxiety attack after I throw up of course. :angry_smile: Did you all actually watch the whole thing???

HI and welcome to LBT. :biggrin2: How are you doing so far?

:angry_smile: You are SO right! Only 3 pieces of Pizza....lightweight, lol vivian~ I'm sure it's ok. Don't feel bad.:cursing:

This was the exact question I was going to ask. Also, the bands are to be sterile before entering your body. Opened from sterile vacume packed bag only in the actual OR. I don't think you handeling your band is ok before surgery. :angry_smile:

Hi, my port site is more sore now then it was after surgery. You may have turned or something when you were sleeping and tugged a little at the stitches holding it. That's what my Dr. told me at least. He told me to look for bright red skin and fever....then there is a problem.

When can they pick their own songs to sing? And do Ryan and Simon really hate eachother? Oh 1 more, do they have to get permission from the actual artist for them to be able to sing their songs on AI?

aimee~ I agree. I didn't like the attitude Kristie had when she said, where's the mic" even before Ryan announced it. Poor sportsmanship IMO. I really didn't think I would like this years AI but it's growing on me. I was surprised that little David forgot his lyrics and he wasn't in at least bottom 3. I thought I heard about his Dad being a stage Dad from hell and found this. ET Online is reporting that David Archuleta may be feeling the pressure from his “stage father” Jeff Archuleta, who reportedly yelled at David during a recording session last Monday. Sources say Dad wasn’t happy with his son’s singing — and even brought him to tears. What? Oh poor David Archuleta! It turns out I am not familiar with the rules of Star Search. David Archuleta was one of the champions, and then eventually lost in the battle of the junior champions. Jeff Archuleta was reported to have been banned on the show after harassing the eventual winner 10-year-old Tiffany Evans. (Who friggin’ harasses a 10-year-old???) More details here. So he was on Amazing Race:family edition, Start Search and AI. Poor kid, I think his Dad his living out his dreams through him.

chica~ That's great! Hope your have a fast recovery.

HI, I had my surgery with Dr. Cavazos on 3/3. I think he and his whole staff are GREAT! The whole floor was just for bariatric patients, I can go on forever,,,,,:drool:

Bexter~ I agree....call your Dr. or go to local E.R. to be safe. I hope you are ok.

I third that! LOL How cool to see your X-ray at least that would of made that awful drink a little bit more worth it for me. I love Westin chain. Enjoy, rest and relax. The time will go by fast and you'll be eating before ya know it. I can finally eat Monday and right after I had the surgery I never thought it would get it here. Take care and safe travels. :drool:

I just looked on my BCBS online account and it says that the bill for my surgery was $26,075! I thought it was like $12,000. I stayed 1 night in the hospital yes but geez. No wonder self payers go to Mexico! P.S. Had my first follow-up and got to start Protein shakes today...YIPEEE It felt so good to get something with some Vitamins in it. Monday I can eat wet tuna, cottage cheese, string cheese, yogurt and decaf unsweet tea ----> all sugar and/or fat free of course. :drool: A lady that had surgery the same day I did already lost 22 lbs! Amazing this band is. :teeth_smile:

THANK YOU! I have a little left so I'll use that. I took the majority off by elbow grease and soap and water....OUCH!:smile:

Thanks guys. The fudge-sicles I have are 70 calories and the popsicles have 30. All I eat is popsicles and 1 Jello cup a day so my calorie intake is very low. Carol and Bunny~ I understand now about fat-free vs. sugar free, thanks:smile2:

sugar free fudge-sicles.....what diet stage are they? I WANT to say liquid because it melts before it get's to your tummy. What do you all think? Aslo during mushie/pureed stage can you eat fat free cheese cake? TIA

alicatcyclist~ Who is your Dr????

I saw her on TV couple nights ago and she said she was having a hard time losing the weight she gained while pregnant but she has a trainer and is really trying. Did she actually do Playboy?

I had gas pains for about 2-3 days but I didn't have unusual gas "coming out" if you know what I mean. I wish I had, I think I would have felt better. Eventually the pain went away.

All I know is that no average or skinny person ate the amounts of food that I use too and that's why I think they don't have the weight problems. :cursing:Whoever said chicken Expresss :drool:.... I'm gonna get you! :sneaky:

I guess I'm not, lol. Yes that's all I ate yesterday. My Dr. said that we don't start on Vitamins or Protein drinks until week 2. I have an appointment this Wens. so hopefully I can start those then. I get some calories from Jello (?), popsicles (50) and candy (?). Not enough I am sure but I am goin by Dr.s orders. I feel good though. When I asked in the hospital about vitamins and protein for the first week he said that they pump me up with so much vitamins and such that I'll be fine for 10 days. Then when I asked a nurse what she was giving me when she started a new IV with a full bag of yellow Fluid she told me vitamins. It must be working.

I'm on the highest dose of prozac and suffer from depression and anxiety and it was not an issue at all.

That sounds so yummy!!!! I'm jealous!
