being a christian myself and coming from a christian family with a father who is a minister. i have found that it is the "christians" who are always the most neg, nasty, and mean about anything that seems odd or strange or that they simply do not understand. it is a sad fact that there are people out there who just dont get it. i have a sister who at first told me she thought i was cheating but then she changed her mind when she saw how hard it was from the day of surgery to today. a whole whopping 8 days!! now she calls me and sees how i am doing and we are good. i have another sis who when i told i was thinking about it her reaction was to tell me she didnt think it was in my best medical interest:rolleyes2: bc she did a diet and lost like 70 pounds and i did the diet and lost nothing so i obviously didnt do the diet right:blink: she still doesnt know i have had the surgery bc i dont need that right now. i am the youngest of 9 children so i only have 2 siblings in my generation all the others are OLD!!!! (no offense anyone:biggrin:) so i just think they dont get it.

try www.tickerfactory.com that is where i get mine and i got that from someone on the site... i am 7 days out and i am truly feeling good a tiny bit sore still but not anything tylenol wont or cant fix.... keep at it and go to the chat alot of the people go there it is a live chat and people are always willing to give you ideas and great support!!!!!

how has it been being on the full liquids??? are you as hungry??? i wasnt as hungry when i got to go to mushies which is where i am at now.

i have just begun to feel mine but it is in no way sticking out if i lay down my stomach falls over and it gets pushed on and it is wierd.

we are thinking about that when our kids are all older and i am lonely. it takes a special person to love a child not from their body!!! good for you!

i totally got that and my post looked like the second part was directed at you i guess me putting space between the two didnt work like i wanted it to:rolleyes2: bc my first have was directed at you...

my DH works alot of OT so i dont have to work either. he likes me home with the kids and we also home school so me working is out of the question. which is fine with me!!!! i love to stay home!!! you lovee having twins?? my 5 kids keep talking about me having twins:rolleyes2:

i have had very little gas but what i do have tends to get stuck in my left shoulder which is totally anoying bc i am lefthanded

why would you need to leave suppport is support you are having the same thing basically only they are removing instead of inserting. why couldnt we be support for you too???? but good luck anyhow dont see why you need to go.:teeth_smile::confused2:

the dr.'s dont expect you to actually lose weight before your first fill so anything you lose pre fill is considered an extra. you will def lose when you get your first fill.

i was banded in 08 just 6 days ago... i am doing real good i have really good helpers in my older two girls 10 and 8 they help pick up the little ones and carry the laundry for me so i am really doing ok. i was begining to wonder if anyone read this board lol

bumping for late nighters!!! please this is a question i truly need an answer to.. and i am obviously not the only one.

hi mom of five we also have five children and since we are a one income the children will be learning to change their eating habits real quick! not without its treats here and there..if you want to talk feel free to pm me!!:biggrin2: i feel for you with a sister like that who needs enemies!!!!!

i was at about day 4 when i saw a huge dif in the swelling!!!! good luck with the new school year.

i have no answer for you but wanted you to know someone feels for you. i am 5 days post op and only have the gas pains still in my shoulder (left one) so i do feel for you i do know they say walking helps the gas so have you tried walking more??

very wierd i cant even feel mine it is attached to the lining of my stomach

you look awesome do you have any problems with saggy skin???

dont you hate when the lessons we learn are always the hardest ones!!!! you can do it get back to your eating and get rid of those 9 pounds plus 4 more!

bumping for evening readers

my will power WILL hold out till my fill!!!!

i know i am hoping my will power holds out!!!!

i am 5 days out of surgery and now that i am getting more active gettting up and down doing the laundry dishes playing with the kids and what not. i am a bit worried that i could harm or push my port aside.. i realize this is probably all in my head but well you know. what have all of you been doing after surgery does life just go on normal?? or do you take thigs a little easy for a few weeks and i have 5 children so taking it easy isnt really in my repetoure

brandy that is awesome!!! good for you i still have all mine to lose but 10 pounds but i need to go from a liquid diet to mushie foods today so i know that will slow way down too.. i cannot wait for my first fill.

hey girls do you use a specific product when you scrapbook and make cards??? it is good to hear from you wow 45 pounds you go girl!!!
