There is nothing more to say but "AWESOME"!!!!!!

I dont think Im swollen, but i have pain i my sites if i push down on them. they are still very tender.

Thanks Ya'll, needed the kick in the butt! Having protein coffee for breakfast and a yogurt later in the day!

Like the title says, im a moron! I swear i was doing so well, then i think "im healing fine and im hungry so lets eat!" couple days ago i ate some cheese quesadilla thinking im making it really mushy by chewing the hell out of it! Went down fine, so tonight, 4 chicken drumettes! Went down fine but i feel sick! No more of this for me, going to mushies, im mad at myself. this kind of behavior got me here in the first place! UUUUGGGHHHH... will i ever change??

I totally hear you about the pain where the port is. I was 6 days post op and did too much and was carrying groceries in a felt a pull-pop feeling! Oh no, I think i tore something around my port. Now im sore there again, and bumps in the car are killing me! I go to the Dr for my checkup on Monday Ill let u know what he says about port pain. Happy day!

Awesome! Im 4 days post op and so happy ive had it done! Good luck! I love Tricare!

I know how nervous you are! I was so nervouse until i was knocked out! You'll be just fine, just dont give into to all the crazy thoughts you can have before surgery... I stay at home with my kids, and I feel like I need at least 5 days before i can be left alone with them. My youngest is 2 and im not looking forward to Monday when i have to be mommy again without my husband around!

Sorry to hear that, hope your up and runnin soon!

I hate dealing with insurance! I have tricare as well, and i think getting a letter from my pcm describing the finding of MRI of my lower back helped my case get approved. I know it is not on their "list" of co-mobilities but it worked for me. Im 5'11 and have a BMI of around 32. My back and high cholesterol were the only health issues we reported and it was approved. Try getting a letter from the Dr about how he/she believes your back issues are related to your weight. wishing you lots of luck!!

Nancy, I totally hear you on the salt cravings! I am on day 7 of my preop and have been craving something sour. So i've been drinking sips of pickle juice! I think i should make it into a popsicle.. yummy :laugh:

Your smiley faces @ the triplets is priceless! Thanks for the laugh..

I hope the best for you. Hopefully it will get paid for!

I guess im next! My name is Cora, im a stay at home mom to 3 sons. We are a military family living in Texas at the moment. I use to be thin until my second son then the weight came and never left :cool2: I now weigh more than I did when I delivered my 3rd son almost 3 years ago! YIKES I'm 5'11 and weigh 246 before my preop diet, with a bmi of 32 ish. Im getting the Lapband done on the 7th and looking forward a healthier more active lifestyle with my active family. And of course, cute SMALL clothes..lol Good luck to us all.. happy to have our own "space" on here.

Im with Triplet mom, a weekly weigh in would be great! Its so funny to want to post my weight to people on here, when my own husband has no idea! :cool2:
