Lila, that sounds horrible!!!! I'm sorry you had a bad experience. BTW, On my last fill I didnt fill any feel that twinge either, and I had felt it on my 1st and 2nd. So I wouldnt worry about that part, also, it took about 5-7 days before I felt the fill. Go figure??? Good Luck.

Thanks for the answer wheezy. Don't panic about shopping in a regular, HORRAY!!!!!!!!!!

Taymac, YOU ARE DOING AWESOME!!! you will fly threw surgery with a great attitude. 'BRING IT ON'

Have a good night all!!! I'm off to Toronto to take my younger daughter to a concert. Ricoh Colliseum, know where that is green, betcha ya do!!

LOL...Hey it cant hurt to daydream, right??? It's just nice to see him, to listen to him answer my questions, and I have ALOT of questions!!! lol. Honestly, I'm happily married, but it always seems like I have another question.lol

Stupid, Stupid Plateaus!!! Who invented them anyways!!!!

Taymac, nothing else will challenge your willpower more than the opti-fast. After surgery you wont fill like eating for a while, then after that your band will help with the willpower. It's never completely smooth sailing, but it get way, way, way easier!!!!

How come other people's quotes come up nicely highlighted, mine just come up looking dumb??

Ohhhh Nooooo!!!! Rotator cuff, soooooooooooooo painful!!! Take care right away, don't leave it. Take it easy.

Wheezy, gosh thats tough. Your doing everything right, your being so strong. This will work, really!!!!!! Our bodies all react differently. But, this will WORK!!! It has to!!! Hang tight, Louise:hug:

Dr. Cobourn is amazing. Our world needs to have more doc's like him. He's sooooo great!! He also has nice eyes;) .lol

Well Mandi, my christmas goal was `17 lbs. I'd probably be half way there if I hadnt put myself into the Mcflurry Coma before my fill. . How's the no-smoking going, over a week now!!!!!!!!!!!! I get kinda sick watching those people work out soooo hard. I think it's crazy. Maybe in my 20's, I'd take on that challenge. But I'm to mellow now.

What!! It's regular english and not computer lingo........:peep: boy I feel dumb.

LOL... Ya but you see, my husband is Irish too! So he's thinking what ya'll are thinking. Oh, his fingers are pretty muscular, he must be excersizing without me:eek: . LOL

NSV's are really all that matter, right. Ya right, tell that to me when I'm whining I havent lost any weight. lol. But it's true. Green you are NOT a sausage, mmmmmmmmmmmm I want dinner.

Is Opti-fast the worst part? Yes, Yes, and Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely the worst 3 weeks, but 3 weeks that I'm the most proud of. Hang in there, it is absolutely worth it!!! What helped me was to put little sticky flowers on the kitchen cupboard, one representing every opti-fast meal I had to take before surgery. Every time I drank one I would rip it off, sometimes stomp on it or rip it to shreds. But it really helped to see the stickys getting smaller and smaller. I found that using ice cold Water and adding shaved ice in the blender helped alot. I had to do opti-fast for 3 weeks, yes it was hard, but I did it and my surgery went perfect, and you can do it too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, wait til incisions are healed about 6 weeks, then I would put polysporin on before and after, just in case.

Green, Yoda is right, don't compare yourself to others. You'll go get a fill, get a fill, get a fill, then all of a sudden like .2 or .3 makes a huge difference. It's just finding that area is different with everyone.

GRANDMA'S CAN'T LIE!!! can they? Holy Moly, Mandi. When you get to 199 (probably in a couple of hours), would ya come over and work at mine for a while, pleeeeeeease.
