  4. im doing pretty good rain. they took some more from my band...still cant eat too much but its better than it was and ive lost a few lbs. i just got back from vacation. i even lost 1 lb on vacation. just trying to get things under control and stop eating the bad stuff...lol
  5. lydia, some of us do still walk at delaware park...we will be there tomorrow barring no rain...lol
  6. jenn, i did the challenge and it helped me start losing again
  7. i actually mix the sour cream with the mayo and it gives it a nicer flavor
  8. vicki, actually when i went to see hoffman to have some of my fill taken out i had lost 2 lbs in 1 month and i weighed myself this morning because i am eating more and i lost 4 lbs in about 1 week...so he is right u will lose more when u are eating more. the tough lessn i have learned is it is not good to be too tight
  9. hi all...i can eat more since dr. hoffman took part of my fill ut (my second unfill). i actually ate a 1/2 omelet today. thats the most i have eaten in a few weeks...lol
  10. jenn, feel free to join us online here and chime in whenever
  11. dr hoffman did tell me u said hi. they think because i had the flu a couple weeks ago that im swollen so he took 0.5 cc out and im better...at least i can eat without getting reflux...i go back in 6 weeks
  12. i dont know what happened..i was doing great...my last appt i even told them i didnt think i needed a fill so i didnt get one and all of a sudden i am very tight. im not vomiting but i could...im making myself not vomit...so i dont want it to go so long like i did when i got a fill
  13. hi all! well i have been so tight for about the last 10 days. i can barely eat....i really dont know why...i havent gotten a fill and i only eat a few bites and i am stuffed and i gurgle whenever i eat...so i called today and im going in tomorrow at 130pm...anyone else going to be there?
  14. yes long beach is in canada..you look great rain..i actually weigh less now than what i did when i graduated college...lol
  15. rain, ive lost a couple of lbs. i had the flu a couple weeks ago..a lot of vomiting. and its really weird yesterday. i was soooo tight..could hardly eat anything...for lunch i had about 5 spoonfuls of soup and was stuffed. dont know what is going on...but today seems better. oh and im in onederland now...i finally reached that milestone. im renting a place in longbeach the week of 8/15-8/22 and u and ur family are more than welcome to come for the day if u want...actually anyone is welcome
  16. i agree bugs and im a nurse...some people just dont know how to act. the person i had the problem with was totally different with me after i had surgery
  17. i would also bring a pillow for the ride home. and bugs kim wasnt the person i had the problem with...lol. i only saw her at my final weigh in and in the hospital. all my other visits i saw barb or laurie and they have been pretty good post op
  18. wow bugs...if it doesnt feel right then you shouldnt do it..if u are uncomfortable with the staff maybe u should try another physician group. i can tell you that prior to surgery one of the np was very nasty to me but i didnt let her attitude stop me. i will pm you with my phone number and if you want to talk you can call me val
  19. rain, are u going to the support group tomorrow nite? what time does it start again?
  20. i dont really know...i have 4cc in my band...im kind of afraid to get a fill...so since im losing about 0.5 lbs per week dr hoffman wants to leave me where i am. barb told me she would never give me more than a 0.2cc fill because im very sensitive...so i dont know maybe it is my sweet spot. i have only gotten 2 fills and they took most of my 2nd one out...lol so only 1.5 fills
