  1. please email me at Lshelley21@aol.com!!!! I would love to talk to you more about this!!!
  2. hello, i haven't been on in a while. I ended up breaking my foot, which completely set me off track of loosing any weight at all...now i am ready to get going again and my other ankle is having a HUGE issue...it almost looks like elephantitis...but anyway...i just got my third fill, and i seem to be having a lot of trouble with it....well not really i guess, but i seem to be able to thow up anything i want to...I am not going balemic or anything like that, but if i put my neck down, i can push up the food like it is in my espophagus. Ther is definitly restriction now, my dr. said to go on fluids only for 3 days...and boy oh boy is he right. I ate salad and chicken the other day and it felt like road rash in my espophagus...there is lots of saliva that seems to keep coming up again, although the band isn't too tight or anything...perhaps it is just me. I am a little disappointed as i have only lost 30 pounds in almost a year...put perhaps if i didn't have my set backs it would be different.
  3. i feel like i want a historectomy...i want this gone, i hate this...it has always been bad with cramps, but why keep intact per se if my husband can not have kids to begin with? I just want to neuter myself! lol. I know we can do a donor or whatever, although if that doesn't happen with in the next 2 years, i am going to dye of pain and suffering. I am only 27, and for the past 4 years the pain has gotten so much worst. I was on birthcontrol the Yaz one, but my period would not stop....for over a month!!! so they took me off of it. I am so at a loss....the feeling of puking is horrible, no matter what i do.....i know the band actually isn't all that tight normally, although now drinking is a problem....i am so tired...no energy at all, can't keep anything down, and i want my insides to be taken out!!!
  4. ok so i know that the band gets tighter when that time of month comes around. although i have not been able to eat anything today, my band only has 6cc in 10cc band. Not only that, but i have had KILLER KILLER cramps, to the point of crying and bedrest all day. I didn't know what i could take, as when i called the dr. and they were not there. I found the meds from my surgury and i took 2 of them as directed (oxycodone) It has worked wonders, although now.. my temperature SPIKED wayyyy high, then it went low, and now it is normal. when it spiked, i had to change all of my clothes two times because i sweat soo much, you could wring out the clothes. I have thrown up several times today, although it was heaving because i haven't been able to eat, and Now i am just nausious. I was able to eat some pretzels which tasted SOOOOOOO good, never tasted so good. It almost soaked up all the stomach juices in my stomach. What can i take for cramps? Tylonal does not work for me, i do not want to go this route tommorow at all...so please help!!!!!
  5. 4-6 weeks here too!!
  6. Hello everyone...i am in need of some recipes for deserts that are ok for me to have. I would like to make a sugar free triffle, well i am making that. BUT...what else can i make? Is there any low fat/low sugar cookies i can make? Please give recipes!! I am in dire need
  7. Thank you for the chewable Fiber advise!! My dr. never said anything about those, nor did i think of them. Perhaps the OP is a forum troll...on other forums there are quite a few of them on other sites. Internet Troll / Forum Troll "Netiquette Guidelines" What is an Internet Troll/ Forum troll? An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" or "Message Board Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.
  8. My dr. said that he will not sedate anyone if they are the once bit sick. It is too much of a risk and liability to do that. If you have congestion of any sort, it will get a lot worse and it is not worth it. Good luck!
  9. apparently people on here are rude at times, as i saw from reply's to my post. My dr. told me to reduce the amount of fiber, because it is more apt. to get stuck...for instance....asperigus (spelling sorry) or things like that. So before you jump down someone's throat, perhaps you should ask more questions. I WAS TOLD NO>....i never said NEVER...i said my dr. said no. If you are going to cop an attitude, please do it else where, as some people here are honestly here to learn, and not from the know it alls.
  10. i believe you can talk to your dr. about it...i do know that some insurences take it into consideration.
  11. I AM IN!!! I am starting tommorow...i will do this...i am determined
  12. Oh that website is WONDERFUL!!! I will try it again tommorow...i am determined to run, when i lasted the whole pathetic 1 minute...it felt good...to move. I told the hubby and he laughed at me "only a minute?" hey....he couldn't do 30 seconds! So that shut him up!!! (whatever i am doing it for me anyway) I just hate how he creates competition with me. ANYway...thank you!
  13. i believe if you search for this topic in the search button you will find a ton of information on it!
  14. swelling is normal after a fill, that is why my dr. said do 2 days of liquid only, 2 day mushies, and then solids again
  15. That is great! when i went in for my first fill last week to my surprise, he only filled me with 1 cc..i was shocked...then after i stood up he said that i already had 4 cc in there!!! So now i have 5 cc...and still no restriction...
