We need to have a little party today for ya!! You will be at Reggies right??

Congratulations Riley!!! I can't wait to get there too!! Do you realize that you are so, so close to perfect weight!!! Your gonna be there in now time. Hope to see you later today. I haven't seen you since June I bet there is gonna be a HUGE difference........... AH your an inspiration!!

I am morning my restriction..............here it is morning and I don't have to wait to eat. I really miss the restriction........ This is like bandster hell again...................gonna make it work anyway but I liked the restriction. If only it was just a tiny bit less you know so it didn't tighten into that death grip and force me to go get an unfill...............so I could drink water!!! LOL. I don't like feeling like I have no band again. I just don't feel anything..............

Thanks Jes I really can't tell a difference between the last two pictures!! :-( I feel a difference but I think I need to lose some more for it to show...........when I get under 200 I will try again!!:-) Yea Lucky for me the hair loss is UNDER the top layer so I can cover it up.............just wind is not my friend right now!! LOL.

Morning all....... I have a really sick kid this morning. Runs and vomiting..... I don't know what is up but she starts school on MOnday and I have to get back to work next week. I am gonna play it by ear and see how she is this afternoon and see if she is ok for me to leave her for a couple of hours to head down to Reggies. I made food and everything so if I can be there I will be..............Darn it so not fair!! Usually I would have my parent across the street come over to check in on her but they are in Alaska this week....... But again I have been planning this for several weeks so let me see if I can get her comfortable than head down for awhile............

I posted pictures..... hair loss ones which might only stay up a short time!! LOL. I sorta don't like them but it is what it is...........please post pictures all so I can have company in putting it all out there!! Bad headache. Migraine still this is crazy!! Can't sleep!!

Tomorrow than!!

I saw that shampoo today but didn't get it. It looked similiar to something I already have!! Thanks Nicole I wished for 50 pound lost pictures but ok I can deal with this too...........LOL

I am very, very hungry tonight. The liquids is not doing it!!! I just took pictures so you can see my hair loss!! I will post them soon. All around the front of my hair and my hair is so flat now.......not like four months ago. I also took some pictures of 46 pounds down tonight. Trying to distract myself from eating. Nicole they are trying to decide on the next fill day. Dr. Baggs said to call the last week of August for fill dates....

I need the address Reggie. I know you sent it to me and it is in mather but I can't remember where it was sent. I have FB Lap band forum and email!! Help??

I pick when I cook too.......and I am getting ready to cook.

Oh yea!! I am there at 10:30 and you probably go to 11:30?? I am glad I am going to Richmond than.............

Get an unfill sooner rather than later.........I had to get an unfill yesterday I got to where I couldn't keep water down. I was at 6cc's but now I am down to 4cc's cause I tried to stick it out for three weeks and got alot of swelling. It feels so good when you get some fluid out............

Ok talked to Kelly today. I am going back to see Dr. Baggs on September 3, 2009. Three weeks out. He will be gone on vacation in August and his schedule is really full I guess.....not doubt. Good thing I called or it would have been a really long wait!! So I am good with that 21 days to get it all figured out. I also will get a one on one with Robin which actually I am looking forward to this time. I like the group fills but I like seeing Robin alone once in awhile to you more information that when you see her alone...........so I am gonna make sure I am logging everyday since I will need to bring a food log next time. But again I NEED to log just in case I have to battle head hunger again........... Than I HOPE to get into the group fill on the 24th with Riley if someone drops out!! I think that group is pretty full right now!! But it is 4 weeks out from the 3rd............. Glad I got an appointment before they are all booked for September!! I am going back to Richmond this time!!

The shampoo is white and has a long horse tail on it..........maybe says horse tail and mane shampoo or something...........really tall/fat(opps bad word) bottle.....

Oh thanks Jes and I still have liquid tylenol from post op!! Gonna take some now.............. Tamra I drank almost a six pack of diet coke a day!!! So I thought I should be immune to caffiene!! LOL. But I drank my last one the night before surgury........bad girl I know but Chris encouraged me to indulge one last time!! NOt that I needed much encouragement!! It has been four months since I last touched the legal stimulant!! ( I am an AOD counselor and in grad school they use to bug us about not drinking caffiene cause you know it is a stimulant whether is is legal or not)

Thanks Donna. I just realized yesterday was my 4 month bandaversary but I will take the partying today............... Dr. Baggs emailed me and said with the swelling I might still have good restriction with 4cc's. He said at LEAST two weeks for a fill but I guess it could be up to a month..........he said this has happened to other patients or I think Robin told me I was not the first one and not to stress it!! Donna I am gonna try to bring that thing from Robin tomorrow so you can look it over before group.............

Oh darn it I have to fix my fill schedule and weight.....

Yea still battling a headache but out doing yardwork!! Want to have everything done before MOnday. I probably won't have vacation until December now and things get busy........well hopefull I will still have a job to take vacation from in December!! Well I am kinda tired of liquids and I am eyeing that watermelon on my counter............I am getting tired of clear liquids!! I am really hungry today.............I want some..........protien I guess!! LOL. Something that sticks!! What is a clear liquid protien!!! LOL.

La Chica have fun!! It will fly by. I have good memories of going through the process.................it was a good experience for me and it felt good to be one of the 10-20% who made it. Richmond is really nice the people who get in there and stick to the program and make it work!! They were so supportive and that helped me keep moving forward.......... That and my girls online!! At that time it was just Riley, Nicole, Chris and me!! But I have loved all the support from everyone. YOu feel like your doing something wonderful the way the treat you!! All the Doctors are good at Richmond. I like Dr. Baggs cause he is my doctor and he totally destressed the process for me. I feel comfortable with him and I like that I can get in contact with him ............I totally knew the last week that I was gonna be fine cause I knew he would make sure he was available or in contact with me.............I just trust him I guess!! I don't know about the other doctors!!

Yea Dr. Baggs is quick. I like that about him. I knew yesterday that he would work with me cause he always is so quick about getting back. He had a class yesterday afternoon so he didn't get my mail until I was laying on the table getting ready for my unfill.............LOL. I was like oh by the way disregard my email last night and he was like oh I am reading it right now.............he said he would have gotten back earlier but he had a class that day!! I like that he is so on top of things. Nicole I have seen that Shampoo.......hmm I thought in the shampoo section but not sure............LaChica is probably right!! I heard it makes your hair really shiny..... I have a migraine today and really light headed. From not eating much since Monday night?? Not sure why but remind me again what I can take?? Not asprin I know............ Gotta find my binder...... I accidently got caffiene. I asked for a skinny vanilla latte than realized I forgot decaf...........I drank it since I need to keep liquids down and need something in my stomach. But would that give me a headache?? I haven't have caffiene in ...........4 months today. Today is my 4 month bandaversary!!! I just realized that!! We went and saw Time Travelor and it wasn't worth the money. NOthing like the Notebook. Come on people that is how it was advertised

Oh I have seen that horse conditioner at the drug store. In the shampoo section..........I might try that. I also might be interested in a a weave can you make them permenent until the hair grows back in!! Ok ladies out for another play day!!

Oh I have to admit I do like soup ALOT and that is a soft food...........I never liked soup pre op but oh I LOVE soup and I get to eat that until tomorrow afternoon!! :-) My bad!! Ok and with protien shakes and Soups today. Ah not feeling much restriction at all right now..........will be interesting to see how solids go. Nicole yea ask Dr. Baggs about your hair. I want to know what he say too. I lose about 10-20 hairs per shower right now. I think it is staring to slow down but I can totally tell and I can feel how thin it is. I hear ya girlfriend........ Oh and stress makes my band tighter. I was telling Robin and Dr. Baggs I was really stressed about losing my job but I am not sure they thought that was totally the reason behind everything. But I do know stress makes it tighten up........... So what is this with airplanes. I am going to Portland on 9/11 for the weekend. I am sorta wondering if I get a fill before it is will be to tight after the plane ride.............anyone ride a plane after the band!! I would hate to get to Portland and suddenly get to tight!!

OH NIcole your doing good!! Wow you losing like crazy again!! I was doing ok until the last week. All of a sudden I just tighten up to much. I mean before I think I was similiar to you Nicole where I had to be careful than BAM!! I couldn't eat anything but soup...........so ok I can work with that for 10 more days!! I thought.......than that last morning I couldn't drink Water. I thought first it was just that morning routine but it got worse at the day went by I got freaking tighter now looser..........so it was really sudden!! It was an ok #$&^% moment cause I had always said as long as I could drink water I would work with it!! Would you call that a soft signal from the body or a hard one!!! LOL. I think next time if I can't eat solids than would be the point to give in and get an unfill. So I learned something............... I am totally fine today. Just a headache from all the PB'ing the last few days.........but no permenent damage today. I am doing fine with liquids today but really HUNGRY, HUNGRY today.............that part I won't be liking but after talking to Robin I am serious gonna get rid of all sliders, even salad for a couple of weeks and get to the protien hardcore again. Robin got me thinking again about how important all that is and I did miss protiens. I don't like soft foods all that much!! NOt even the ice cream suprising!! I will go in at the end of the month for a fill. I am gonna call Kelly today to get something 2 weeks out. Than maybe I can also get in on the group fill. Dr. Baggs said once the swelling is down we can work on getting back to the sweet spot!! I still hope to be under 200 by the next fill just gotta work for it now...........but not taking for granted I do have a band and 4cc's which is more than I had pre op. I am in a positive mood today. I think finally doing what I needed to do helped me alot.....................
