i am sorry. this does not sound fun.
-
okay this ticker thing is not working...
-
just realized I had not updated my weight....
-
I have had two fills and each time I have some gas discomfort. My shoulder hurts similar to my sugery experience. It hurts.
-
I have had no problem with any food. This worries me. If I can eat bread I will eat it. If you cant, you wont. I was kind of hoping for this. First fill tomorrow. Maybe then I will have more restrition. Not wanting anything crazy. It was just easier the first few weeks.
-
So sorry for your loss. Not for dear ole dad. He is in Glory with His maker! He is in a place so perfect there is no need for the lapband! No weight problems there. Let us know how the memorial services go.

Fill date for me is July 16th. Ohhh I cant wait! :biggrin:
-
How are you feeling? I was banded a little over a month ago. It really is easier than I had thought. I was really tired for a good two weeks. Took naps everyday to make it through the day.
-
Yeah for you! Hoot Hoot!:wink2:
-
Good question. I am not sure just supporting you on the asking thing cause I LOVE :wink2: iced coffee. Maybe nonfat, decaf, sugarfree drinks? I hope so!
-
Tomorrow I go in. Trying to stay focused and positive. You know the little voices in your head that like to screw with you :wink2:. They are tryin. Not winning, but tryin. Bandland here I come!

Hey we should keep in touch and compare notes. We are all going to be in the same stages and phases together. One week BABY! :thumbup:
-
oh my! I just looked at your ticker and we are a week away! Wow!
-
I am June 6th in Arizona. We should try and stay in touch being that we are all on the same date. What time of day is your banding? Do you have to give yourself injections? This was new to me at the pre-op. Not a real big deal.
-
Oh I so know what you mean about the wine thing. I was sure that they were gonna do some test that said...yeah you drank too much this memorial weekend (my daughter's wedding) so we have postponed your lap. lol
-
YEAH!!!:hurray:Are you just so excited!

Hey Jazzy Junes what are you triggers that make you want to eat and what do you do to cope with them.....
-
day 3 was easier and day 4 (today) I am not hungry I just want to crunch on something...like an apple or cool crisp lettuce. I am dropping pounds. I will keep going. I went and got my nails done tonight to distract me from wanting to eat. My husband was laughing because everything on TV was ohhhh that looks so good, to me. Hey my nails are cute!:thumbup:
