:canada: :canada: :canada: :canada: Hey fellow Canucks, I just want to say thank you!!! I am so happy that we live up to our Canadian reputation and that we are all peaceful and get along and none of our threads result in the juvenile crap that has occurred in some other threads. I would expect nothing less from fellow Canadians. I like LBT....but I LOVE our Canuck thread. Thank you all for being you and for being true, north, strong and free!

oh no waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay man...NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING can stoop to as low a level as Argon's thread on the ol' poop shoot!!!! (not in the Canuck forum but in one of the general ones). You DO NOT want to go to THAT one let me tell ya. The photos gave me night terrors for weeks on end!!!!! *nods* you know what I'm talking about Argon!!!!! AVOID all poop shoot related threads (of course they were referred to as "colon cleansing")... eeeeeeeeeew I get the jitters just thinking about those pics. BLECH..; :omg: :omg:

Paula if you have a 4cc band (vice 10cc) you had a good first fill!!!! Don't get mixed up with the ccs!!!! LOL I can just see you asking for 5ccs in a 4cc band!!! LOL

WOw...okay, I guess I'm the last to find out about all the hooopola that has gone on. Hmmmm I guess that is why I shall just continue to stick to the nice peaceful Canuck thread...I'm glad I avoided all this mess.

I'm finding it better now too. Neenagh...the last 2 weekends there were probs.....(technical) with the site....it wasn't normal; so you should be okay generally on wknds. Pooooor cloe....dial up??!!!!!

Oh, I can see it now...your cup will be half full; Dan will be driving the car and he'll feel a tad bit dry and reach for a sip of your "leftover" drink and swallow some of your sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!! It's all fun & games until someone drinks some slime!!!! (psssst, the car wasn't movin' it was stopped at a light...but I guess it was a wee bit windy ou!!). :biggrin1:

GOOD LUCK NEENAGH!!! See ya on the other side!!! :gluck: :gluck: :gluck: be sure to let us know how you are once you are back home and doin' okay!

...send some of them crunchies my way Wheezy....I'll help ya!!! :hungry:

Hey chickie....nice to see you back; I did notice your absence! Hey...it's good to take the "higher ground"; I hear ya there...I had to do it a few times myself....I still check in sometimes but the vast majority of my LBT time is spent now on the Canadian thread (for reasons you'll understand!). Great to hear your bizness is doin' sooooo GREAT!!!! *cheers*

Well done Cloe!!!! YEEEEESH.....ya make ONE spelling error (oversight) and the whole world has gotta let ya know!!!!!! *smacks Mandi upside the hEad!!! :biggrin1: :)

yeah....come to think of it....where IS Buffie???? Yooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooo........

Loreily: mebbe ur just a slow learner??!!! LOL just joshin'!!! Maybe you just have good restriction....it is actually good to have a signal like that if it works for ya!!!! If u feel u have't eaten enough...if you wait a bit...does it go away and then are you able to eat a bit more?

Okay...anyone else on the Canuck thread finding it SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER DUPPPPPPPPPPER slow??????? (I don't mean activity wise, I mean technially wise).... grrrrrr!!!!:angry

LOL ur all nuts. I wasn't even tryin' to BE funny.....you'll KNOW when I'm tryin'!!!! *snickers*

Hey Paulax....I find it a bit odd that you only had 1.65 cc's put in for a 10cc band as your first fill. I only say that because at TLBC, their standard first fill for 10cc bands (ie. the Midband) is 5 ccs (unless of course you state you already feel restriction...which is apparently the case only for a verrrry small %age). So, yeah, I recommend you ask for quite a bit more next time; especially if you aren't feeling anything. On Fri, I got 2 more ccs (for a total of 7) and now I'm FINALLY feeling this and am quite happy to be feeling what I am feeling (restriction wise). Good luck!

So, I like to think of myself as a PB Virgin. Not so sure I am but I don't think there is anything as a 1/2 way virgin is there?! LOL. I "think" I've had one or 2 PBs but if so, they were pretty minor compared to what I've read about....so no complainin' from my end! I have had (twice) severe pain but it was SUPER short-lived....so again, no complaining. The second time I had it....I was already finished supper and was "full"....but then I ate my chewable Vitamin and that set me off! LOL. I guess I didn't even have room in there for THAT!? I have also had the "slimes" about 3 times since Fri. But again...not near as bad as what I've seen described on the other threads. The first one happened on Fri a couple of hrs after my fill. I was in the car (Mr. Yoda was driving) and I was sipping Water. It started to come back up sorta and my mouth kept filling with water (slime). We were at a red light (no other cars around) so I opened my window with the intent of spitting (I had no kleenex - not that kleenex would have been sufficient!). As Mr. Yoda called me his "Dainty Flower" I spit out the window...and MUCH to my shock and dismay, all the slime came flying back at me ...hit me in the arm and oozed all down the interior side of the door. UUUUUUGH. Did I mention I had no kleenex??!! GRRRROS man.....it was all thick and slimey alright; obviously something more than just the water I swallowed. Thank god Mr. Yoda loves me!!! LOL. Ah welll, what's a lil' slime between soulmates?!!!! Overall though, still no real complaints regarding PBing or sliming!

antipesto??!! BLECH... YECHY!!!

It might have just been the bread part of it Loriely!!!! Mmmmmmmm gyro!!!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO for Mr. Loriely!!! That is great guys!!! Be nice to him Loriely and help him thru his recovery!! Tell him that he can have a fry in 6 weeks!!! LOL!!! (I KNOW how much he likes his fries!). :clap2: :clap2:

Glad u are feeling better Wheezy. Some folks feel restriction (various amounts) before their first fill (some don't even need a fill!) and others don't feel any restriction at all. I felt some restriction for about the first 4 weeks....the last 2 I was careful and did it by willpower alone (ie. before my first fill). But even after my first fill it was all by willpower (long story....they thought they put in 5ccs but in reality I had zero!!!). I can't comment on what Dr. Mumford does, but TLBC gives the first fill after 6 weeks. The appt is even made for it the day of surgery. If food is getting "stuck" sometimes on the way down, than you are experiencing restriction. This is good. To alleviate that feeling, eat slower, take smaller bites and chew chew chew and then chew some more! Yes, you will be able to eat more and more until your first fill. The trick is to not give in to that. Look at it this way...you have been eating a lot less....so even though you now CAN eat more....try not to...try to keep up the smaller portions until you get the help you will get after your first fill! Easier said than done (believe me, I know!) but try!!! Good luck....u r doin' great!

Okay....so if Penni's gift to Canada was for Woodys and not me....who else got a Canadian??? Hmmmmmm????? *waiting patiently* LOL (okay not so patiently!)
