So, I had my fill tues & I'm down a few lbs yaaaay!! I'm enjoying some Wedy's Chili right now. I never ate this before my surgery but I eat it alot now. Something to think about for the newly banded soon. I'm gonna try to stay away from white carbs too. I hope this helps. I don't think I'll be working out for awhile. I damaged my back some how. I went to the chiro & she took x rays. Right where I have my pain my spine jets over to that side squishing into my ribs too. It hurst when i take deap breathes too. It really sucks when you REALLy get hurt! Ya complain about little aches & then you get a BIG one. I don't know how I did it????? After I had my last baby I felt a little kink there. went awawy for years & now I got pain in that exact spot. So she thinks maybe from child birth or carrying them. I've had too adjustments so far & go back thurs. ttyl! Hang in there!!!!!

Well I have to say my experience at the Brigham yesteday wasn't great either. The people doing valet are completely RUDE! You sit there & no one directs you or even looks at you 1/2 the time! This has been my experience EVERYTIME!!! The only time there nice is when they brin the car back & want a TIP!! I'm in such a MOOD today & my kids ar driving me crazy (FYI) !!! At my app Dr. V leaves the rm & has her assistant come in & TRY to do my fill. OF course she kills me & never finds it. That is the LAST time that happends! Dr. V finds it right away after. So I was down like 3 lbs in 6 weeks. Oh well it's something in the right direction. I got a small fill & I'mm still doing liquids/ cream soups today for now. K8 & Thinking~sounds like you had same type of day lol!

k8~ I saw that on the site too but I was hoping it was wrong. Oh man~ I was hoping to go tonight to the meeting. I'll try to make my next fill on the day of the next meeting in Nov. I go for my fill tonight at 4pm. I'll probably ask for another small one. I feel tighter all of a sudden {??????} Don't know why. I'm brining my food journaling w/ me to ask what am I doing wrong!?!?!?!? I wonder if I'll have a loss on Dr. V scale? Hope all is well! :cursing:
