I want to try to get all of the July Bandsters on the list.:cursing:

Hi Bimbabe, I am glad you are on your way. Who is your doctor? My is Dr Daly at Northside. Anyways this will be a journey but so far a great one.

I plan on playing with it today in a little bit. I have to set it up. Besides the game disc that comes with it are there other games that you can by just for the fit? If so what are your favs or names of them so I can try them to?

Mrs J.J, I am by no means and expert on this stuff but I started realizing how much I do stuff (meaning eating) just to fix my feelings and it has helped me alot. Please don't get me wrong I struggle like everyone else with my food issues. I think we are all on this board to help each other out or ask for help so I am glad I could help someone.:thumbup:

Flowers, Thanks now I understand. So I am 264 lbs now so I have 65 lbs to go till Onederland right? Well now I have my first big goal.:thumbup:

Okay I have been meaning to ask someone. What is Onderland?

It will be okay. I feel like I have sliped too. I am sweet person and had my first donut yesterday which was a big mistake. I was just being lazy and was very hungry and it was sitting on the counter in a bag, at home and before I realized it, it was all gone. Let me say I did not buy it. My husband bought some donut holes for my son. I can home for a late lunch from work and there they were. I guess I did not realize how much I just picked up stuff and eat it without even thinking. My mom always tells me to take 1 hour at a time and that it will get better. SHe had Bypass 8 years ago and even though the band and bypass is different she knows what I am going through. We can do this don't beat yourself up it is a new day and this is a new adventure just keep thinking about the rules and take a deep breath we have only been at this for a month so we can not expect to get everything right. Make a small goal and work from there. Remember WE CAN DO THIS!!!!:tongue_smilie:

Todday was such a horrible day. I at least manage to get my protein in but I sure did not walk anywhere today. Except just the usual from the parking lot to my desk. At least I park real far out. Tomorrow I am going to at least walk around work on my 15 minute break and maybe another 15 minutes in the morning. How are you doing on your goals?

My first goal is : I want to walk 30 minutes each day.:wink2:

I just ate to much and the pain was horrible. Nothing was stuck everything was working fine except me. The fact is I was not paying attention and not listening to my body so I did not stop when I should have and the pain was unbearable. Like before the band when you would eat to much and your stomach hurt except it was at the top part right under my breasts, which I guess is where your pouch is. Anyways the help I got from Sades about the mylata and tea worked wonders except I do not ever what to do that again. Also My doctor told me Liquids the rest of the day and then I can start back with soft foods then progress as tolerated to a more regular (or regular for the band) diet. You guys know Protein first, chew chew chew, and to pay attention to what I ate(which I didn't do). Anyways I am taking slow today and eating mushies and liquids. Thanks again for all of your help.

Thank everyone for your information. I knew some of you had been there and could help me out.

I have tried that once for some plan tuna I started to eat that felt like it was getting stuck and I started slimming and it worked wonders. I learned my lesson from that to and it has only happen once. But I was at work so I had to do something.

Thank you so much

I just had a fill yesterday and was eating dinner tonight I was not paying attention and I think I ate to much. I hurt so bad. Ifs there anything I can do to make it go away. I can't throw up and I don't want to make the band slip. ANy suggestions? I am so not going to do this anymore I am going to measure everything now:eek:

All, Today I had my first fill. The needle is so long but I had no pain. He was going to give me 3 cc but instead he gave me 2.5 cc in a 10cc band. He said since I had a vomiting epsiode with some chicken I ate he wanted to be a little cautious with this fill. I can have liquids this evening and go to soft food tomorrow but take it real slow and know more than 1/4 cup at a time within a 30 minute period.

FluffyCat, I have not had my fill yet. I go 8/7 for my first one. I am scared because now the eating correctly really starts. So I can understand how you feel because I worry about that too. But I did not do this to go half way ecspecially since I am self pay. We can do this, lots of other people have so we can too. We will have to concentrate on what we are doing to get the job done. Food is my friend so I am working on trying to find a better way to deal with things ie stress, bordum, etc. So I know it will be hard but we did not sign up to go at this part of the way. We can do this just Take it one day at a time and Take it slow.
