Hey, at least it doesn't say chicken for $5...that is all I can hope for when getting something tattooed in a language I do NOT speak

Hahah...ok gotcha, yea all of mine are real too Mine is on my neck though, and is only three characters in Mandarin that phonetically say my name in English...err-ree-ka.

Hey you...you just go to User CP, avitars, and then scroll down to where you can upload a custom one, and put your picture I am doing well...go in tomorrow to see the doc, so we shall see.

Haha..yea I need to be further out for pics...I am down like 20 pds, but it seems like my weight is actually shifting around...the scale definitely says I lost, but the clothes still feel the same, so we shall see. I see my doc tomorrow for the post-op check up, and hopefully he will give me the go ahead to do more than just walking How much have you lost and when were you banded?

Yea, not sure if 2 forums is what I need, but thanks for the recommendation. I am doing really really well for only being banded 10 days now, so I feel really lucky or at least have some clue when it comes to doing this new lifestyle correctly? How are you coming on your journey?

Hey Speed,

Looking good this road is rough but at least we have this support of all us here together

Haha....yea, I am thankful my chair reclines a little bit, I had a struggle finding pants that wouldn't cut across my incisions, so I went for some loose ones with no real waist....normal So-Cal could be deemed summer 24/7...not this week Oh well, we will be fashionably better next week. Good luck at work, I too didn't mention it, so I am trying to be discreet, thankfully I have my own office and can have my liquid Tylenol without many asking.

I am actually feeling really well, I haven't had really any complications, no blockage no real feeling of I can't eat this, although I am definitely still on a liquid diet to ensure I heal properly, but other than that...I have been walking, can now get up from a recline...all that. I too have some gas discomfort, but I was planning for that, so I have been taking Gas-X chewables basically since surgery, and it has really really helped. I did take some pictures of my incisions, I am deciding whether or not I am going to post those. I have 5 incisions, the port being the biggest & sorest of all. I am back to work today, so we shall see how today goes. How are you feeling?

Thanks so much, it means a lot!
