  13. I had this problem for years.. I did not do well with any hormonal BC. I would get migraines, hurl every morning, have panic attacks,,, it was horriable, after much goings arounds I decided to go with an IUD, yes they still do them and No you dont have to have already had children.. (they sugest it but its not mandtory) I have had no children and I am on my 2nd Iud for the last 7 years. I love it, I dont feel weird, my periods are a murder scene but I can deal with that and actully even that part has gotten better in the past 5 months. Never have to remember the pill exc.. I would talk to your doc and see how he/she feels about it.

  15. Name .. well lets say Jack, as in Chedder Jack.. glad I could bring some laughter to your day. It all came out in one good swoop, and well by dinner I was still not feeling like eating. but all in all I don't look forward to it again.
  16. You can make watermellon shurbert, Ive done it may time, let me find the recipie and Ill post it asap
  17. Well as some of you know I was banded in March and I think I’m doing reasonably well, until yesterday. Let me preface this tale with the fact that I had my second fill 4 weeks ago and I have had some restriction but no problems (I even ate half a Dunkin Doughnut when I was on vacation). It seems that Fills have some sort of delay reaction and now4 weeks later I’m having things get stuck and eating much less then before. Now on with the story. It was about 130 in the afternoon (yesterday) and I was sitting in my office having a usual lunch, 2 oz of tuna, 4 crackers an oz of cheese and 4 apple slices. As I was finishing up my tuna, I felt a little tightness in my chest, nothing I can’t handle... I slowed down, took a few deep breaths... as I felt it pass and the pain do away I continued to eat my apples and cheese ( because this is my favorite part of lunch) and the feeling came back with a vengence to kill, I waited.. Thinking it would pass... take a deep breath held it. (A cool trick I learned here) to no avail, so I thought Ill just take a walk... I walked out of my office ( grabbing a tissue just in case) down the 3 flights of stairs, That has to help right.. Around my large office building, in the 108 Degree heat (Vegas baby Vegas) still stuck, I had a few gurgles but still stuck. So back up the 3 flights of stairs, and just as I reached the top, I know there was no turning back, and rechhhblahhh... there in my tissue I had given birth to a 4 inch cheese log.. :omg: I started in horror at this slimely wet cheese mass and looked around to see if anyone was looking. Thank god no one in my office takes the stairs. I carried my newly born cheese log to the nearest bathroom and as it went swirling away I was overwhelmed with a sense of sadness and achievement, I had just had my first PB and well I’m going to need to eat less cheese. After such an experince I went back to my office where my assistant said hey where have you been you just missed something really funny , I just looked up and said no I didn't, I didnt miss anything...
  18. Iv had two fills, I lost 17 pounds during the liquid phase, gained 3 pounds when I started eatting food again and Ive lost 9 pounds in May for a total of 29 pounds!! I want to lose 15 more before end of july, Ive had two fills although I manange to eat too much still it way less then what I used to eat!! I wet back for a fill yesterday but docsaid no way youve lost 9 pounds. Soi I tell him that Im still eating too much and in true style he says to me well then stop it!! hope all of you are doing well.
  19. Ive lost a total of 27 pounds, its been slow lately ( I was stuck at 258 for 3 weeks) Ive had two fills and I have some restriction, but not enough. I am so excited as all of my summer outfits are starting to fit and some even too big. I am very dissapointed no one in my office has noticed that Im shrinking. so Im starting a lottery, the first person to say ask if I have lost weight is going to get a dollar for every pound!!
  20. Hey all you March Bandsters, Im looking for you, I sent all of you messages so we could start a thread just for thoseon the same timeline. How is your weight loss? Have you had your first fill? Has any one noticed your shrinking? Complications or issues your having? Lets all share we are all in it together Right!! I can't wait to hear from all of you!:clap2: :confused:
  21. Mouthwash, about 5 days after my surg. I actully left a work meeting bacause my mouth tasted like an armpit.
  22. My family belived that if you were old enough to ask then you were old enough to know, the only diffrence is my grandfather was a trendseter when it came to wives tales. I once asked grandpa, what are wisdom teeth? he was kind enough to explain to me that wisdom teeth were when your brain became so large from all you were learning from school that it pushed your teeth right out of your head, and when you got them that ment you were finished with school. I belived this for years, and well it might explain why I dropped out of school in the 10th grade..=):confused: :faint:
