  2. okay I'm going to take some pics of my clothes and then you can decide what you would like. I have another lady who wants somethings but I should have a ton of tops avaliable
  3. Is your band empty when you come out of surgery? my doctor filled mine to 3cc How long do you wait before your first and in between fills? My first fill is going to be 6 weeks after surgery. After that its about every 4 weeks. How much saline does the band hold? I think mine holds 10cc If you ask your doctor to be aggressive with the amount he puts in your band for optimal weight loss will he/she? normally they will fill a little and let you sip on Water to figure out how much would be the best for you Can you request a fill or does the doctor have to advise it? My doctor just says every month until you reach your sweet spot and then after that you request it but every doctor is different.
  4. Try the south beach diet frozen meals.
  5. I'm lucky that my doctor filled my band to 3cc during surgery so I'm not hungry. but my doctor requires a 4 week liquid stage and then a 4 week mushies stage. I finally get to start mushies on friday!!! woo hoo!!! I can't get anything but protein shakes and water down so I'm so tired all the time from lack of calories. I can't wait to be able to eat cottage cheese and refried beans!
  6. 89 is a good price. It's the standard price. If I can't buy my games from my dad I normally buy my games on www.half.com or look for used games at gamestop. but you would be extremly lucky if you found the wii fit for under 89.
  7. The wii fit is fun but I don't find it very difficult. I like the wii sport game that comes with the wii. The boxing is a great work out!!! also if you need a new wiimote get wii play it has more games and comes with a controler. oh and wario moves is a great games and really gets you moving. If you having any questions about the wii let me know. I'm a little bit of a nerd and my dad works at nintendo. hahaha
  8. looking good!!! and you look sooooo much younger! its amazing!
  9. yup I'm keeping my big girl pants too! hahaha but just one pair
  10. I'm not embarrassed about having my surgery but I was worried about failing. Now that I'm making good progress this isn't a problem but I was worried about not being able to lose the weight after surgery. Nothing worked before so why would things start working out now. Also I think it's no ones business so I only told people that mean the most to me.
  11. I'm 21 i live in eastern washington so basically the middle of nowhere! hahaha
  12. HAHAHA everyone says that but honestly I can't imagine doing anything else. I hate english, history, business, and communications. Science is what comes naturally to me so thats what I do. I just hate the know-it-all's that are normally bio majors! hahaha
  13. What is your favorite phrase? I'm afraid because what I want is kinda big and I hear the side really hurts!
  14. Hi I'm 21 and I'm finally going back to school full-time tomorrow! I'm a bio major chem minor.
  15. My grandma died a year ago and she was an artist so I want to get my favorite painting of hers down my left side. Because it's going to be down my side I want to wait until I'm at goal weight. She wanted me to get this surgery sooo bad, so This tattoo represents her and represents my surgery.
  16. I'm from Eastern Washington. Boo to all the snow we are getting!!!
  17. My port hurt for about 2 weeks and it still does if I laugh too hard. hahaha. Feeling any better yet?
  18. I didn't have a catheter. My surgery went fairly well. but i guess my abs were really tough to get through so that hurt REALLY bad.
  19. I also just want to fit on a roller coaster with no problems. Feeling comfortable on the beach would be nice too! oh and I'm going to get a tattoo down my side.
  20. Good luck on getting your date Alcine. The band is amazing
  21. I'm 21. how is your band treating you?
  22. I've gone from a size 26 to a size 22 or 20 depending on where I'm buying my clothes. That being said if any women want any 3x tops jackets blazers or size 26 or 24 jeans slacks shorts dresses. I have a slight shopping addiction hahaha so I have a ton of clothes I need to get rid of some still have the tags on them. i have about 3 boxes full of clothes. i don't want to sell them just give them away. I'm 5'10 so all my pants are on the longer side.

  24. The lump should be your port I can feel mine under my large incision but mine is about the size of a quarter now. And my lump gets smaller and smaller as the swelling goes down.
