vicki's band

I have discoloration around my injection site (Port) but it doesnt itch or look raised. If it doesn't go away or gets worse, I would call...

good luck tomorrow Val, I hope u have a good visit and don't get stuck there too long... keep us posted...:thumbup:

I too am up 3 lbs and having mild cramps and a pimple of all things. dont know whats happening but like you i hope it is TOM and the weight goes away with the rest of this crap..I am craving like crazy, so it would explain a lot.. :thumbup:

glad to hear it Val, how is jury duty?:thumbup:

good glad to hear it, makes me feel better about the process ahead too. I need a fill too, will wait till next visit, the scale is up from yesterday.

All right, I am so glad to hear everything went smooth. did he take any biopsies, he told me he would when he did mine. I am so glad to hear he didn't deflate you, i was wondering about that...How do u feel now...:thumbup:

I am always head hungry, and I know what you mean about the TOM, cause I dont physically get it either, but still get all the rest. pms, hunger, etc...all we can do is try our best. I'm hungry and I just ate.. wtf, i suck...

Omg Yvette I didn't know today was the day, good luck gurlfriend, i getting it done in the spring. let us know how you do.....:thumbup:

thats great, maybe you wont have to get unfilled. i am still too loose

Val where are you hiding,and whats going on with your band?

OK so I just had the soup and it is good except I bought the diced tomatoes with basil and oregano an don't care for those spices in this soup, otherwise it is good. thanx jenn hope it does the job, also bought some mandarin oranges in pear juice and a rotisserie chicken. I am going to cook as little as possible while he is gone...lol

making your detox soup Jenn, db left today, so gonna try and rid my body of all the sugar i have been consuming..how are u doing with the detox and biggest loser diet?

Well, I sneezed and my weight went up like I said 200.4 this a.m. I know its only a half lb. but it is the difference between onederland or not...I wish I could get comfortably under 200...maybe the cabbage soup will do it. I don't think I can do the pouch test, I am too hungry all the time....

the scale will probably jump up tomorrow, the calories probably havent caught up with me yet..I know what you mean yvette the light is not always the best choice, I even heard if you eat full fat it is more satisfying so you dont eat as much of it...

I thought I felt eyes lurking around me when I post...lol... well, go figure, I was in onederland this morn by a hair and i do mean a split end...199.9, but still had a 1 in front of it.. afraid to sneeze, it might jump back up. so now what, do I give up the cookies, cake and icecream..Edies no sugar 1/2 fat of course..or do I make my cabbage soup. hmmmmm...maybe i shouldnt push my luck... Hey Jenn, you go girl, a marine, i hear excitment in your typing....lol big Gurl how do you do the pouch test, is it liquids or what..?

everyone is different, I didn't get my stuck feeling for several fills. I've never been to the group meetings yet and would like to meet everyone in person..when is it anyway:confused:

Well, Well, look who's back. and thank the Lord you are cause i need sombody to kick my a**. All I want to do is eat and not what I am suppose to either..thanx yvette, I will probably screw up till he leaves on tues. and then look out cause cabbage soup here i come...lol. luv ya Gurl and don't be gone so long next time.....

dont worry maria, you have such a small amount of fluid in your band now that you probably dont have a whole lot of restriction. Just eat what your suppose to eat and eat until your full and when you go see the doc he will probably give you a fill...I wouldn't start the cabbage just yet..

Sounds like fun Jenn, I was in disney when I was a teenager, and not since. My daughter and her family go a few times a year. you will love it. I hear it is so huge now it takes days to see it all. and what a better time to go then in Feb. leave this crap behind.... I bought my cabbage today, but i still have cookie dough and pie fillings and crusts and chocolate kisses and................etc.

cool, that is exactly what i need, I have been eating cookies, cake, chocolate etc and I am so addicted right now I dont want anything else! so maybe when the the other half goes away for a week starting tues, I will be able to get on track....thanx Jenn, your always full of surprises, remember the fried cheese, yummmmy.......:frown:

well r u at least losing weight, or r u not eating enough to lose..that would suck big time...lol

I feel like i'm always chatting with myself on here...how are u doing val r u still tight.. when do u see hoffman, i know he comes back on mon...

where is everyone, are we hibernating for the winter or what...

You know Rain, I am glad u said that cause I too know where the bathrooms are and I need to "relieve" myself, I don't throw up, just bend over and push it out sort of..:rolleyes2: anyway, I am glad I am not the only one cause I was wondering.. I can eat a lot too even with my fills, i must have a very elastic esophogus, cause it fits but uncomfortable at times. Keep us posted and post pix of your growing tummy..lol

All went well Rain, band is ok and Barb said I could handle a small fill so got .2cc fill and now have a total of 5.2cc. How are you feeling, and when is your due date? will they unfill you totally or just go according to how you feel.
