As usual, I agree with Ohm!!!. I didn't start getting restriction for 3 -4 months when I got to 5cc. I gained about 12 pounds!!! Hang in there. Also journaling every bite and sip you take is helpful to see what your true calorie intake is. Best wishes, Mimi

So no compression garment for the girls? Thanks for answering my questions. How did your first shower do? Do you have drains? I am happy you are doing so well. Mimi

All very valid questions and ones I had, too. My PS won't touch the port so I am wondering about the outcome. My port is already bulging out a bit so I a sure it will be more prominent after surgery and recovery. I will have a port relocation surgery in a few months and get a mini port. I will let you know after Monday's TT if I have a less than good outcome. Mimi

Sorry I got confused, Niki, I was thinking you were having your arms done, too. The "girls will subside and soften over time. I didn't get implants but when the vest was undone the day after surgery my little boobies exploded out and turned (temporarily) into BIG boobies!!!! What kind of chest garment did they put you in? I have heard that thigh work is painful, you are doing well, and hubby is a doll baby!!!! Mimi

Hey Niki!!! Glad you are doing so well, I am going to ask for the patch Monday...I am glad you didn't barf. I advise you to NOT weigh yourself or measure your tummy because that is probably where those 3 liters are!!! May I ask what kind of clothing you wore home and what is the compression garment like? Mimi

YAY, Niki, you are a real trooper. My armpits bothered me the most, too. Hang in there and get in extra protein. Best wishes, Mimi

Standard does so there is no reason for Prime not to. Mimi

If it is your biggest incision it could be your port that is bulging!!!! If it feels warm or turns pink, for sure call your doc. Mimi

I think you are too tight and that wt loss is probably part dehydration. Please keep your appt for a tiny unfill, we are not meant to live like that. Best wishes, Mimi

Becci, sorry you can't run for 2 more weeks, but I am glad Ms Serra took those stubborn stitches out. Keep up the good work riding herd on all living things, LOL!!!! Sorry you can't get pictures, that sucks. Mimi

Fanny, I am sorry for your aggravations...that Bowater sounds like a horses' arse!! I have been too tight and am going for an unfill today, TT is Monday and I don't want to be too tight after that. I wish you luck getting back to your sweet spot. Mimi

What are your Health Insurance requirements? Mimi

Walking is always a good place to start then add hand wts to build up the arms. Good luck and congratulations. Mimi

Yahoo, you are one brave girl to get so much done at once!!!! Can't wait to see the pictures. Are you going to post pre-op pictures, too? I am so excited for you and wish you a rapid recovery. Mimi

I am at goal and way too tight. It is miserable not knowing from day to day, hour to hour if my band is going to close down. I am glad your doc didn't think you should have a fill yet after analyzing how you were doing. When things change you can always get a fill, that is the great thing about the band. I will be getting a small unfill tomorrow and hope to stop throwing up. Congratulations on your wt loss. Mimi

I have been drinking generic Crystal Light for 16 months and all of a sudden I am getting extreme reflux and acid indigestion from it. I am going to try and get used to plain water, bleck!!!! Mimi

Can you afford to pay for the fill yourself? That is a very long time to wait to start the fill process. Good luck. Mimi

You are sweet, Becci!!! I am going to have a friend do some close ups of my arm scars since they are 2 mths post op and put them in the album. I am wishing there was summer weight 3/4 length blouses for temps in the 90's and 100's with 98% humidity here in SC.

Thanks, they are my canine companions...have one more to switch too after a while. You got in to the album, didn't you? Mimi

LOL, we posted at the same time!!!! I think it is an excellent idea to have a planned "junk food" day. Although your choices don't sound so extreme or non healthy. I am sorry you have to suffer with visions of builder's bum, LOL, and yes, we have that problem, too. Hey, way to go getting healthier with all those walkies!!!! Mimi

Well, have some more PS and we will have more to talk about!!!!! One thing I noticed when I was taking my nudie pix is that my ass and back and thighs are sagging and wrinkled. I have to laugh or I would cry!!!!! Mimi

I, too, can eat hamburger. The more moist the better and the higher quality the less the gristle. I have more trouble with chicken than hamburger. But each person is unique and can change from fill to fill. Mimi

Oh, Becci, I feel for you having that darn fence down!!!! As far as starting early, most of them start late!!! You are lucky if they keep up that pace!!! You will be so happy with getting your arms and boobs done. Go look at my home page album and see my boobs before and after. I think you are on my friends list...it is a restricted album. I am happy for you being satisfied with yourself. You are a great shape and BMI and tall like you said. Hey, I want some lasagna, too, boo hiss!!!! Mimi

Yay, congratulations and welcome to bandland!!!! Mimi
