CHACHA

I have an extremely sarcastic and perverted sense of humor, forever hurting someones sensitive feelings at work. I think that comes with age. I am so not politically correct!

I too will miss a cold one on a hot day. But will not miss the heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, ect.

Restless monkey, i so get your sense of humor, i don't know why everyone else doesn't get it!!!

Surgery was not bad, a litle sore for a week or two, just take the drugs. I was anxious also but very glad I did it. Hang in there!

9 cc yup, so tell me what do you eat? I have had no problems with anything, how about you?

I am a night time eater, so that is the only time i have to control.

I am going in for a fill on dec 11. I really don't want to get so restricted as it seems some people get unless it gets to the point i am not losing at all. I think slow is better health wise for me. I would rather save some fills for on down the road

Nicey, you are doin great!!! I am down 25lb but seems like more, my clothes don't feel like i am stuffed in them. I am down to size 16 . I still don't have much restriction just can't eat as much but can eat anything. No problem with getting stuck no pb never have, guess i don't know what i'm missing lol. I just get a real heavy feeling in my chest if i eat too much.

I have the realize band with 3.5 cc fill so far.

Thanksgiving will be interesting as we all know in the past just eat till your sick!! Won't be doin that this year. Thank god i am not cooking this year. Just gonna eat and run. Hope you all have a great day!

Welcome Chris, I was banded 6 weeks ago in St Louis Dr Follwell, so far so good.

I am in Moscow Mills MO not far from you.

If I can help in anyway?

Cha Cha

I was banded by Dr Follwell last month. Everyone at St Alexis was very nice. I am 1 hour north of St Louis, don't like going to the city either. Good luck with your surgery, mine went great!

I have been eating adkins shake for Breakfast. tuna and crackers (wheat thins ) for lunch and yogurt for snack. usually creamy Soup or chicken strips for dinner SS pudding . I am going to start trying new things but have been safe with these.

I know what you mean about the heavy feeling in my chest, but have not PB'd anything. I don't get too hungry but still no restriction

Lory

Hey Nicey, I just got my 1st fill last thursday 2 CC. The only thing I have noticed is I am not hungry which is good. But if I eat too much just get a real heavy feeling in my chest? Have never pb'd or even felt anything like that. So I guess I am lucky. How are you doing with your fill? How much did you get?

I see from your info your band slipped? Did they take it out? Do they know why it slipped?

Ok Folks, Got my 1st fill on thursday,2 CC don't feel any different but seem to not be hungry. But still want to eat, just to eat!

My Band holds total 9CC.

So how did your 1st fill effect you??

I just got banded on the 16th and i have not told my mom either, just gonna surprise her. You would think at my age i would not worry about what she thinks ,but always a kid when it comes to my mom.

THIS PROBLEM WAS STARTED IN SEPT 1999, UNDER THE CLINTON ADMINSTRATION, THOUGH I WOULD NOT SAY IT WAS THE PRESIDENTS FAULT.

Published: September 30, 1999

In a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders.

The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets -- including the New York metropolitan region -- will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans. Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a nationwide program by next spring.

ok, I know we stay away from white bread, how about flour tortillas.are these a no no??

I had to stay the night, you guys were lucky
