      my lapband surgeon took me off of ambien. something i have been on for 8 years. i guess one of the side effects is eating at night and not having memory of it. something i do. so i am on my 4th day and not sleeping well at all. hate it.

      I take trazodone for sleep. I've had sleep issues on and off for years, and this drug works well. It's actually an antidepressant, but it's sedating. I take the lowest dose at bedtime, which works wonders. And it's non-addictive.

  2. Thanks for the well wishes, and back at ya! No, I haven't had any plastic surgery at all. Though I would LOVE to have a boob job! LOL Mine all but disappeared with the weight loss. Now, if I could just convince hubby that it is necessary! He's so afraid of these things.

  3. Yes, and I am still grateful it went down that way, trust me! The slip...no, it didn't hurt...just couldn't eat a dang thing. Seriously. Then even water had a hard time getting through. Bad news. So we did a complete unfill. This was a month ago. I go back for my follow up appointment in about four hours to see if it has healed yet. Wish me luck!

  4. Thank you, ma'am! Well I went and my pouch is healed, the band corrected itself, and they put 3.2 CC's back in my band...so I am in fantastic shape! No, I didn't gain...in fact, I lost two pounds! So I won't have any more put back in...I'm enjoying eating again, and my exercise is such that I know I will make it to goal without all that fill.

     

    Today is day one for your diet, right? What is the diet, anyhow? Doing okay so far?

  5. Thank you for the comment, ma'am! :)

  6. Thank you, ma'am! That means a lot! :)

  7. Yeah, whatever! I know you're a perv! Just kidding...thank you very much for the comment. And ooo! I love your collors! I may do a slight imitation of yours, if you don't mind!

  8. Thanks to all for the comments! (I heart comments!) Such cool, supportive folks here! Like my second family!

  9. BTW...I meant to ask...what brand of protein did you buy that is so high in protien? I use EAS that has 27, but would LOVE to find one with much more.

  10. Welcome to LabBandTalk.com! Please familiarize yourself with the rules of LBT and come in and introduce yourself!

  11. WOW! That is stupendous!!!!! Update that ticker! Good going!

  12. Hey! So glad you are back! Congrats on the lost poundage recently! You look great!

  13. Hey, there! Thanx for the friend request! And now I see your new pic! You loo amazing! Significant difference from your other pic in red!

  14. OH! And thank you for the birthday wishes! Where did the "Today's Birthdays" list go with the new revisions, anyhow? :)

  15. Thank you! I just saw that you left me rep last week! And for my whiney post, too! LOL Happy Thursday!

  16. Glad you had fun at golf! My first round of the year was about a month and a half ago...it was NOT pretty! LOL But we did have fun chasing that little white ball everywhere!

  17. You are most welcome, and I look forward to chatting about our journies along the way! VERY cute page...did a great job of matching it to your name! :)

  18. Wow...I wrote a TON back to you, but it seems it either disappeared or I dreamed that I wrote it! LOL I'm running out the door soon, but will answer again later or tomorrow. Have a great weekend!

  19. Thank you very much for the compliment! And you are adorable, and hardly look like you need banding, darling! But I can give you info on docs. What part of TX are you in? I'm in DFW. I used Dr. John Marsden and was banded at the Ft. Worth Surgery Center, which is actually in Hurst and only about three miles or so from my house, which was great.

  20. The Texas and my name are all in my signature with my ticker and fundraising link. If you copy and paste it, it seems to work better than trying to paste the full code, as the sig can get too long and become unsavable.

  21. WOO -HOO! ImaDucky is approved! That is awesome! (I almost called you "chica", then realized that I don't actually KNOW that you are female! I just assumed? Let me know! LOL)

     

    And WOW on that protein you found! I'm going to have to go look for that! FYI, use the two scoops per 8 oz. of water...that gives you the full 52g of protein, and you need that!

  22. The profile editor is new and I just started playing with it last night. I need to "fix" mine, as it looks like Easter exploded on my page! LOL

  23. "TEST" photo album? :tongue2:

    You need pics, too, Alex!

  24. You are very welcome! I'm so glad to hear from you and that you are okay. I can't believe that here I sit in Texas and I actually found that doc for you in the UK at three in the morning! I'm amazed...the Lord had a hand on that one, for sure! Again, I'm so glad you are better now. Was hubby freaked out when you woke him up? YIKES!

     

    Take care, please! Stef :)

  25. Hey, folks!

     

    I posted new pics to my bike photo album from the MS150!

     

    Go check 'em out! It was a great event!
