WAY TO GO!!!!! Keep up the good work!!:thumbup:

I had the same thing happen to me.. i haven't had a period on my own in forever and the say after surgery i spotted for like 3 days then had a full blown period for about 10 days.. it was horrible! good .. lol but horrible... i talked to my doctor about it and he told me that the anestisia can make that happen alot.. so i am assuming that is what it was.. b/c i didn't get anything in june... so hopefully that kinda of answered your question...

So weird how each dr is different... i used a straw at the hospital and i have used one every day since.. i have had no problems.. i have very sensative teeth so i hate not using a straw... hmm.. to each their own i suppose but best adivse is to do whatever your dr tell you to do... To me that is the most important rule of all!:biggrin:

hey everybody!! Mine is myspace.com/lucy200683 i always welcome new friends and look forward to getting to know all of you better!! just say ur from LBT and i will add you as a friend!

Great Job!! Keep up the good work!!

You are doing awesome my shrinko de mayo buddy!! I had my first fill yesterday and am feeling so far so good... and BTW the fills are not nearly as scary as most people make them out to be.. i didn't even feel it!!! Keep up the good work and remember we are workin towards restriction! :thumbup:

i know i am only newly banded.. BUT.. one of my BF and both my mother in law and father in law.. all had the bypass and i will tell you from first hand they get sick WAY more than any banded person i know... i understand things don't get stuck with the bypass but if u eat anything that ur new stomach doesn't agree with it will come back up... my FIL can't eat hardly any meat... and my BF can't touch any sugars... i don't know about you but i enjoy being in control of my body.. at least with the band i am in control and if i want to eat a piece of cake at a wedding or birthday party i can.... i just know that i must be responsible for all my choices and make up for it through the rest of the day... Good luck on your decision!

i am going in for my first fill in a week and a half... thanks for the video.. that kinda put my mind at ease!

So i made this for dinner for my dh and about 5 of my close friends the other night.. i was a little worried b/c even i hadn't ever tasted it... BUT... i have to tell you it was a HIT!! everybody loved it... my hubby said it was ok.. b/c he knew there was squash in it.. but that didn't stop him from getting seconds!!:behindsofa: Thanks so much for this awesome recipe!

i just tried this today and OMG SOO yummy and filling... and EASY! Thanks so much!!

Both of them are correct.. i walked ALOT and i used teh GAs x strips and i was feeling alot better after about 3 days....

i too am at that stage.. i am almost 2 weeks post op and i sometimes worry that i am eating too much b/c i am eating more then i was the first week.... but then i stop and realize how much i am really eating compared to what i was before and realize it is probably ok. As soon as i got on mushies i think i went a lil crazy.. i was so tired of broth.. lol now I am just trying to stick to my portion size better.. even with my little crazy stent i didn't gain any of my weight back so i think it is ok. Hope we can all just make it until we get our fill! Good luck everybody!

just a funny tid bit.... that it is too cold to swim in PA but we are roasting down here in Texas!! lol crazy crazy crazy...:w00t:

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! to all of my bandsters are the best!!

wow.. my doc didn't tell me anything about any of this.. probably cause i didn't ask.. but anyways... Thanks for all the advise... i will get some waterproof bandages just incase.. he is only 3 and i don't trust lifeguards to watch him completely.. but we will stay in the kiddie play area and i will keep my stomach dry.. Thanks so much for everybodys help!!!
