You know that new Domino's pizza commercial? The one that has the "warning" to close your eyes and block your ears if you don't want to save money on "piping hot pizza," well you really do close your eyes and block your ears!!!!!!

Haha that seems to be a big goal for all of us, scantily clad outfits on the beach hehe. When were all skinny we'll meet up for a sexy beach party hahaha, even though looking at all of our cities I don't think we could all be more spread out from each other lol

I loved the morphine, although at the hospital I was at, I had 6+ injections for anti nausea into my iv, 2 in my stomach, and a patch, then after surgery I had an injection into my iv of anti nausea meds once an hour, they were really prepared for any cases of nausea, I was blissfull, then when I got home and started on the percoset, I was super nauseous and felt awful until I stopped the percoset. Everyone reacts to different meds differently. Glad everyone is doing well now though!!! Congrats Seattlelight! I'm with you with the bikni thing!!!!!!!

Absolutely... without hesitation!! I have always had average sized breasts, but were always flat and ugly to me. I want to Pump-Them-UP!!

Have you tried Lane Bryant's Cacique bras? They are miracle workers!

I am a 40 DDD and I SWEAR by these bras!!!!!!!!!!! They are amazing, I bought three for about $100, so their not TOO expensive either, especially considering how great they are. They last really long too, just make sure you don't machine wash them.

I weighed myself today and was so happy that I'm down even more. Only 2 more pounds until I've lost 20 pounds total! I'm so thrilled with all this weight loss, but at the same time, everytime I see a Domino's pizza commercial I start to cry!!!! I am reaaaallly missing food right now, especially since I'm still on liquids on hungry 24 hours a day :thumbup:

ouch bandfan!!! I'm so scared about getting stuck! How do you get it back up??? I'm not even filled yet and I already had a one too many popsicle and "foamed" all of the popsicle up for like 15 minutes it was awful!!

Hahahaha I'm so glad I just found this thread. I cut back 5 days before my surgery, my anasthesiologist (sp?) told me to just not smoke before my surgery. I had surgery last Thursday and took a couple hits Monday night, it helped with the pain SO MUCH!!!! I was joking that I was gonna call my doctor and suggest perscribing marijuana for pain management after surgery instead of liquid percoset. That stuff made me vsuper nauseous! Although the little coughing fit wasn't too fun, I held my stomach and it passed in a couple seconds. The hours of no pain and fun with my friend were worth it lol.

Congrats Lexy!!!!!!!!!

You look FORWARD to getting on the scale every morning

Glad to be a part of the May 2008 banders. I was banded in Chattanooga TN last Thursday, May 29. As of this morning, I have lost 8 pounds since surgery.

I'm excited about finally starting to feel better and getting to use the band to it's full potential. I've got a long road ahead, but I am glad to finally get started!

:cursing:

Hey I was also banded on the 29th! Congrats on the weight loss!!

Haha I know what you mean, I love changing my bandages just because it feels so good to rip them off.

Thats an awesome goal!!!! I need to start thinking of some good goals. I have a couple lame ones, nothing that really compares to that lol... When I hit my goal weight, I want to get more of a tattoo I have on my back worked on, I've always wanted to add to it, but I can't. Its takes up most of my lower back and some of my upper toosh lol, I want to add more going up my back, but I have these big ol' rolls in the way! lol. I also would love to wear a bikini in public. The day I look good in a bikini (and that day will come, at any cost lol) I'm only wearing bikinis from now on. Should get some interesting looks hahaha.

Oh and the messing with mens heads? Hahaha I already got started on that! Hopefully I will just have more options hahaha.

Juuust kidding :eek: I'm a nice girl tehehe

Hey there!!!! We got banded on the same day!!!! I know what you mean, I would love to chew something!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha its ginormous next to most of my "small B" friends. If your a 34J, wont implants make you even bigger?? A DDD where you want to be is probably a lot smaller than a J lol.

Haha Drew, 80s in March?? I went skiing in March, and again in April... lol, and it was FREEZING up in the mountains in Western Mass.

When you pack your own Snacks to bring to parties and your friends houses, such Snacks include a Water bottle, 3 or 4 crystal light to go packs, your own spoon, and a 6 oz. yogurt that will last you all night.

That reminds me! I left my spoon at my friends house last night! Damnit!

My mom calls me every other day asking if she can tell so and so and blah blah blah. I asked her not to tell anyone, she told her whole office without my permission because she though they needed to know why she needed the day off (the day of my surgery) She told her mother without my permission, but I didn't care about that one. And then while I was on a liquid diet, my family went on vacation with all my cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents. And well she had to explain why I was on the liquid diet.... A lot of my friends who know have told their moms and siblings. I hate how when you tell someone something private, they think that it still means they can tell their families and significant others. I know these people might have found out eventually, but it still pisses me off.

Ugh yeah the day I got home from the hospital my dad opened our pool!! Its been in the high 80s all week and I've been sitting in my bedroom looking at our nice, clean, cool, refreshing pool. He spent all his time opening the pool he didn't have time to put in the window air conditioners we have. Awesome

I have no idea, I'm hoping on my follow up appoinment on, er, June 11th I think?? Ha I guess I should double check. If he doesn't do it I'm going to ask him to because they are really itchy and I would like to have to stop changing my bandages after every shower. I wish he had just used glue I don't think my incisions are bigger than anyone elses, I guess every surgeon has their preferences.

Good luck with getting yours our! I have and have had a lot of piercings, (ears, tongue, belly button (like three times lol) and nose) and I have 2 tattoos, ones really big and takes up a lot of my lower back, so I'm pretty good with pain, but I'm still not looking forward to it. Good luck!!!

Ouch about all the staples Shannon!!! I think I only have about 20, I have about 9 or 10 in the bigger incision and 2 or 3 each in the smaller ones. Staples are gross I can't wait to get them out. Good to know you are doing well even though your surgery was more invasive than planned. Congrats!!

I'm not sure but I think its whenever you feel comfortable and energetic enough. There are plenty of positions that don't require you to do much work lol, so you would probably be fine as long as you don't put a lot of weight or strain on your belly.

I have ginormous boobs right now, I'm a 40 DDD, I'm hoping with loosing weight I'll end up a big C or a smaller D, I've always had big boobs, even in middle school. I'm hoping that I don't need any surgery, but I do want them to look like a normal 20 year olds boobs and not my grandmas. If things arn't the way I want them I would probably have surgery, at least a lift. If I have a terrible apron I'd want a Tummy Tuck too, I'm hoping I have my age going for me so it might go back to "normal" but its pretty far gone so who knows hahaha.

Hey Lucy!! I've been looking for you!! Yeah I'm pretty much doing the same, I have a really hard time getting up, the first couple days I needed to holler for someone to come lift me lol. I've been hiding out in my room so I don't see the food everyone else is eating. The first couple days I was really nauseous and dizzy, and I'm just starting to feel like myself again. I've been off pain meds, they were making me sick, and am now just taking extra strength tylenol, although I don't really feel it doing much. I'm glad your getting positive! The first couple days I just kept thinking, oh god what did I do to myself!?!?!?! Congrats on your weight loss and keep in touch! Do you still have your bandages on? I had to replace them after I showered, I didn't like just having the staples open, they kept moving around and getting caught on my clothes. I hate staples I wish they had glued them shut or something. Keep in touch!!!!

I don't even have a bath tub!!!! Not since I was 10 I would love to take a bubble bath!!!! We just have a stand up shower
