T-Bone

Hey there Janet. I am doing ok. I had a bit of a rough go and now have been defilled and have only 1 CC. I was too tight and went through a period of about 2 months where I could eat and theni would just throw up, then get defilled, then get filled. Very ugly time. I go again on June 9th to Maples and will get a good check over and see where I'm at. I was down about 35 lbs but have gained about 14 back. It's awfull. I'm hungry all the time and just want to eat and eat and eat. I had forgotten that awfull overwhelming desire to gorge myself. I hate it!

I'm very glad to hear that you are doing so well. The excersie will sure help that too.

Take care

Hey Bobbie! How are you doing after yur surgery? Hope everything went well for you. Mine went just fine. Feeling rather gasey now but I have to keep reminding myself not to eat as much as I can. This is truely a learning process and the just the beginning.

Hey there Sexie! How are you feeling after your surgery? Did everything go well? Mine went good. Felt pretty good for the most part. I just have bas stomach gas right now and its just not getting out!! How are you making out with eating now? I am having to really watch myself. I think I can eat anything but I cant. I think that may be why the gas is so bad now.

Hi Bobby,

I too am getting banded on Oct 14th. I am going to the Maples clinic in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I would like to have a on-line buddy that is at the same stage a s myself.

I too am having some reservations about being able to "eat-around" the band. Food is just so easy to get comfort from. I am on day 6 of the Optifast and can have 3 a day and only 2 cups of non-startch vegies. My arm is looking mighty tasty at the momment! However, that would only be a short term fix!!!

Hope to hear from you.

TJ
