CLOE

OMG, OMG Neenaugh. I'm soooo excited!! Please take care. We were all nervous too, but don't be, you'll be fine, honestly!! I'll be thinking of you on Thursday. Post us as soon as you can .

Your a good girl Mandi. We have our ewes ultrasounded because 1) we wanna know who is bred and 2)how many they are having, because the more they are carrying the more grain they get fed so the little lambys(Ha) arent too small. When we breed our ewes there's usually about 250-400 of them, we then add 12 VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY Happy Rams!! My husband want to re-incarnated as a Ram...:flock:

Yeahhhhh, Wheezy has her own thread!! I think for our September challenge I'm gonna suck! LOL Because I will be in the barn alot, I wont be exerciseing the way I want to. So I will only s ay I will try, but I will be running after sheep and jumping over gates and stuff, so that is exersize. As far as food goes, Im gonna try the no (or very little) junk food. Like take-out, snacky things etc.. I promise I'll come back in October with a vengence. I just can't promise anything for September. But I'll be cheering you all on...:cheer2:<----thats me!

Yah, they do look like there gonna pop. We know they will start this weekend because we know when we put the rams in to breed them. They have a 144 day gestation, so theres the secret! We also know if there going to have 1,2,3 or 4 lambs, because we ultrasound them about 2 months after breeding. We actually had a ewe in the spring have 6:eek: . Cool eh? I ate at Mcdonalds tonight and now Im mad at me. Yucky McDonalds!! Actually it was good, but I'm still pissed:p

To those of you that feel you want to throw in the towel, or even maybe at a standstill with the band. Are you PBing even after you've chewed, chewed, chewed. If so, Yikes, now I'm scared!!

Lambing dosent actually start until this weekend. But there all looking pretty uncomfortable right about now. Anyone seen or heard from Buffie?

Paulax, you are doing amazing, congrats!!!

Yes, Wheezy, I agree with Yoda. What your feeling is restriction. It may stay or it may go depending on if it is swelling causing it. Either way your doing GREAT!! I too cannot stress how important it is to eat slow and chew, chew, chew. Learn now or learn later(the hard way).

Congrats, to Mr. Loriely!!!!

I on the other hand was EATING!!! Yes, Mr. Yoda must truly love ya!

Woo Hoo -2 more pounds this morning!! Sorry mandi, I don't like antipAsto either:puke: .

I should know who that Dr. is Andree, but I'm not sure. I think he is the one at TLBC. You may get in quicker with Dr. Cobourn or Dr. Mumford. I think they all are great surgeons. I havent heard anything bad about any of them. You just may get in a little sooner, thats all.

update - last night I went on line to investigate my " intestinal drama". So I was reading alot about pro-biotics, you know the stuff they put in some yogorts now. Apparrently its going to be a big thing in the next year or so. Anyway, I remembered I had bought this stuff about a year ago called, acidolphilus, which is this good bacteria stuff. So before I went to bed I took 3 capsules and lo-and-behold, I woke up great this morning. How great is that!! So I though I would share with ya'll. I would definately reccomend for any intestional upset. *just a note that has nothing to do with anything. Im not sure if Im the only one, but I just noticed that I don't save the best for last on my plate anymore, because I generally never get to the last....LOL I eat the good stuff first!

neenaugh.......................................................are all the children in your neighbourhood accounted for?

I'm sorry almost, I cannot help you, but best of luck to you in finding someone.

Did you call the clinic to see if you could eat more?

I'm sorry the band didnt work out for you. Best of Luck to you!!

Without a doubt! One of the best decisions I ever made!!

Kim, big deep breath!! If your hungry you SHOULD be eating!! I'm sure not burgers and popcorn, but liquid mushies anyway. I know that I got hungry before I was suppose to, too. I called my surgeons office and they gave me permission to eat certain things. You should call TLBC and tell them you need a little more, they will be understanding I'm sure. Never mind the burgers etc... put it behind you. You will be able to eat those things again, it's not all or nothing!! You probably do not have much if any restriction, and I'm sure you havent done any damage being that it has been a couple of weeks. But you need to call your surgeons office to up the food. DO NOT GET HUNGRY!! Once your healed up and get your first fill and get the restriction you need, you'll be able to eat what you want, but not tons of it. Let me tell ya, the band WILL stop ya!! Focus on the future and smile. This is not the time to beat yourself up!! Your gonna do great!!

ya, okay, thanks yoda, good idea. I don't think it is band related, cause its all below the belly button and my port and band of course is way above that.:phanvan

Hey Neenaugh, Only 3 more days of opti-crap, woo hoo!!! I'm getting so excited for ya!!!!

Yoda - sounds like your fill is working good Wheezy - made your recipe tonight, and it was a big hit, family loved it, I had a little too, mmmmmmmm it was good alright. Thanks:)

Suck Up.......... ...................lol, Yes I Agree, Mandi's A Very Pretty Girl

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: WAY TO GO, YODA, THAT IS FANTASTIC:high5: :high5: :high5:

I need some advice guys. Been having a bit of trouble since Thursday and it hasn't gotten better. Just wondering if anyone reconizes any of these symptoms or has any remedies for me to try. Symptoms - from excrutiating intestonal pain (really low) to like a internal bruising type of feeling in the same areas, but it swings back and forth from those two symptoms. -bloating, only below the belly button, and painful when I push on the bloating areas -it hurts to walk, kinda the way I felt after giving birth, just really tender inside. -now, I have no constipation or diahrea. my bowels are working normal. I'm stumped, it's been 4 days without any relief and on top of that my band is feeling kinda tight. I think cause I havent eaten much cause I just feel crappy. Oh this all started with a lousy sausage mcmuffin at Mcd's, NEVER AGAIN!! Any advice, pleeeeeeease:phanvan .
