Hi i read one of your post regarding the sharp burning pain? please tell me what happened. i am going thru the same thing. i just got banded May 14th and have been in terrible pain. not constant, last night it took my breath away for about 30 minutes. i was scared to move or breath. i was in tears with pain.

Hey Trish,

10.5 hours difference. you are ending your day and i just woke up .

wow! funny Gotta love the net.

I wouldnt worry about having a little something. we are all human and lets face it this preop is not human! hahhahahahahahhaha

i had a beautiful Moms day. My hubby and boys brought me my fav in bed. Starbucks coffe yummie. and he included a blueberry muffin. he said its moms day you can cheat. i had a several small pieces . i gave the rest to my boys. i just want to be cautious. dont want to ruin my chance of having surgery.

and last night i had 3 small pieces of steak.

i love steak that is one thing i will miss.

i havent gotten nervous at all. which is great. tommorrow i go in for preop. i get to see if i lost any weight.

that is exciting. you have a lovely night, i have to run now. i have to drive my 14 yr to school and get ready to work. have a great one.

your surgery is on the 14 or 15th? i cant remember now. hahahhaha lol

you are good trish, you alreadywent out. i am still having tons of gas pain. i keep walking around and doesnt help. i did sleep last night which was great. but i am just at home trying to move around and rest, my incisions are very sore.

hi trish, i have to tell you i thought i was going to die several nights ago, i had this horrible pain around my port, it was a burning sensation, i woke up in tears and screaming. it lasted about 20 minutes.

i went to the doc and he checked my port , pushed in my belly hard to feel it, but he said everything felt normal. no redness or oozing. he thinks it could of been that i pulled a muscle or i could of pulled a stitch out or my port flipped.

I will be banded in May, and just saw your pics, you look awesome. such and inspiration to me.

keep up the great work.

You lost 28 lbs , oh my gosh that is great! that is a lot. i would be flipping out as well. hahahhah

i still havent started working out i have to admit. today i walked at the park.

I want to start a Zumba class, they seem like so much fun.

i dont think i have lost that much weight. but i have to say i am so happy with my choice so far. i feel great already.

how much weight would you like to lose?

i have surgery next week i can not wait. i can not believe its almost here.

what is Cordial? i looked it up online it doesnt sound good. LOL!

crystal light is very yummie.

too bad you can not buy some.

Your city sounds beautiful. I live 2 hours from Orlando ( Disney world) and about 30 minutes from the West coast Beaches of Florida.

Is that your son on the pix? i have two boys, 15 and 6

my name is Noemi

he said to call him if anything else happens, but that if my port flipped it would be an easy fix. not that i want to go in for surgery again. i just hope it dosent happen again. my hubbie thinks i slept on the port. i have to try my hardest to sleep on my back.

Good news I lost 16 pounds. i was so happy with that.

today i ate my cheese soup. so yummie. another week of soft creamy stuff than to mushies. cant wait?

how are you?

hey, i went out yesturday to the store with my mom. and came home and slept. today i went out again. i was hungry today. so i drink my optifast. doesnt taste good when its hot. they said i cant have nothing hot or cold.

i am still weak might be cause i havent had protien.

Good Morning,

well from my end. hahhahah how many hours difference there is i think its about 12 right? or am I off?

here i am converting KG to LBS. this early. I also want to lose that much wieght.

ZUMBA:

yes its a dance type class you can see it here online. its so much fun.

I think one of the first things i want to do when i lose weight is get in shape and be able to hike with my boys. this past summer we did a trip in the moutains and i was about to die. hahahhahahah i was so tired walking up the hills. sounds funny. but my city is very flat!.

i feel so much better.thank you. i am being extra careful in bed at night. i had the stitches that just disolve on the inside. my wounds look good. i just had some plain yogart , fun... is there a new scooby movie out? my son loves scooby as well. this weekend the new "night of the museum movie",opens up in the US, have to take the kids to see it. this is our memorial weekend holiday, when we pay tribute to the fallen soliders. so everyone has a barbecue , had to pass on some invites to avoid the yummie burgers and other food.

Hey Trish,

well today has been my 5th day.

I am doing optifast. no food at all.

I can do up to 5-6 opitfast in a day, along with water, any sugarfree drink, crystal light, sugarfree popsicle and sugar free gum/jello. I have to say it keeps me full. i do drink my cup of coffee in the morning with lowfat milk and splenda. and an hour or hour and half after i drink an optifast. i am really surprised at myself. i even cooked dinner for my boys. i did cheat, i tasted two pieces of noodles. and i had a small spoon of ground meat.

i havent weighed myself and dont plan on it until i go in to my doc.

my husband went out of town for 4 days and he noticed my face looked somewhat thinner.i didnt belive him, but he said i didnt look swollen. i guess its all the water i have been losing. boy do i go pee. hahahahhahahah

i have to say its easier than i thought. THANK GODQ!

so my 5th day is almost over yippee. going on day 6. I

I live in Tampa, FLorida ,USA. i see you are from South Australia .

Yesturday i had 3 optifast and that was it , and today i am on my 2nd one. I am allowed up to 5.

some days i need more. for me its the smell of food that gets me.

i have always been a big eater, i just love food.

i like all the flavors and i like them very cold.

Crystal Light is a sugar free drink. Crystal Light Lemonade, 8.7-Ounce Unit (Pack of 5): Amazon.com: Grocery

i usually get the powder drink and mix it in the water bottles.

Our grocery stores run good sales buy one get one free . they usually run around 3.40 a box of 12.

all flavors, my fav are the lemondade.

i still havent gotten a call from anyone. next week i have to go for preop.

nice chatting.

Hi trish, i am doing great, feel great. started moving around and doing some walking.this weekend even cut the grass in my house.

starting to eat some solids. being bad. but feel great.

i lost 20 lbs which i am so happy.

i think i get my first fill on the 27th. cant wait either.

Hi there, i will be banded on the 14th of May, i am on day 8 of optifast. i have to say its not that bad. i am full i think now its just head hunger and the smell of food.

how is your optifast going?
