HEY Why did you change your name did you move? :thumbup:

You update your ticker by going to the ticker factory, signing in, and updating your data you do it on THEIR website, not LBT

Welcome and good luck! I think that you'll find like many of us that the changes aren't that drastic. Except for getting thinner and healthier. I still eat what my husband does (when I want to) I just don't eat as much as he does. :laugh: Telling is personal and whatever you decide will undoubtedly work for you. Get through the preop and post op diets .... don't cheat (they are finite, you can do it) and then let it all unfold. It will be marvelous!

I'd hang my head in shame if I weren't a monkey. Instead I'll just go fling some poo.

You're going to do kung fu out west?

Plain, plain plain to pull a phrase from an OLD dionne warwick song... "How can I love you when you aint around" And yes, you can substitue love for another verb. anytime.

Something else...I don't know WHEN you ate the chili but now that I am pretty well restricted I know it's best if I leave AT LEAST 2 hours between "last food" and bed. Actually, 4 is better. The band is working properly to delay emptying into the rest of the stomach..but think logically. If you eat and it hasn't emptied and it still has food in it when you lie down, it's going to come back up. The stomach is still working at digesting your meal, some may still be IN The pouch, and things kind of, well, wash back up. This isn't always the case but if you never had reflux before, you might look at when you ate vs when you went to bed.

If you can get liquids down, and you want to, just do liquids until Monday and see how you feel. It's possible you're just agitated from the fill. Anytime my doc gives me a fill he feels will be fairly restrictive, he tells me to do liquids for 48 hours, then mushies for 48, then solids. You might try that. How filled WERE you before the 8.5...where were you at? AND have you had a little trouble adjusting before now (that would indicate that you swell with a fill)

Ok you wild women I have a small sliver of a life...ie need to do laundry...so I'm going to drink a protein shake for lunch, contemplate the band "down there" (novel idea that; I always thought of "necklace" as the sole alternative) and wonder who on the board wears a Madonna cone bra and a pink wig. Play nice.

WHO is outbidding me? I'll RUIN that person for LBT. And did they offer a skunk AND an "o"possum? Huh HUH? You know you want the skunk.

Besides once I round up that other donkey, Beth's brother will be mine all mine.

:thumbup: Good thing I'm Restless, huh? :laugh: You guys are EASY to mentor. Herding cats, THAT's hard. You all have it going on anyway; just sometimes get data overload!

Yes I'm off to bed too. I laughed so much i think my band slipped. Or maybe it was that Protein :confused: Night all!

VD...vincent d'onofrio? valentine's day? Vexed donkey? veritable daisy?

It's not easy being a drama queen.

that explains a lot.

SURE come on! What started as a "secret" date in cabo has blossomed into HH, me, Richard, 2 monkeys, Beth, and god only knows WHO else in a hot tub in Tucson on a Tuesday. If you really want a piece of THAT action, well, you go girl. Bring rum. Lots of rum.

Don't worry krtork told me to check craigslist I can get a donkey easy I gotta have a back up incase HH doesn't come thru with the hot tub, monkeys, richard, bananas, daiquiris,.... so you ship your brother and I'll make sure you get the donkeys, skunk and "o"possum.

Just make sure it's elephant sperm isolate and you'll be fine. Really. Trust me on this.

Ok that made me spew my elephant sperm protein drink all over my laptop. Darn. Now I can't afford the donkeys to trade Beth for her brother. I HOPE you're happy.

DAMN I forgot you know how to read. Cacafaculaca.

I thought you were getting the band debanderated. In Mexico. and yes, it will corrode your band and you'll get minnows in the fill. On the bright side tho this way you wont' get preggo from oral.

GET back over to our thread! WTH are you doing over here, woman?

Ok. I'll ship the donkeys, skunk, and my husband the nurse out tomorrow. SWOON quiet riot. Don't tell HH.

And don't tell 'em you even considered the band...they'll fall on you like wolves on a wounded gazelle.
