Yea, I hear you....we moved in January, and our garage is STILL the maze of boxes Hope the transition goes smoothly, and keep up the good work. Enjoy the last few moments of great weather.

NICE! You are frakin' hilarious! So say we all.

I was kind of wondering how that would go post band? Since we got the band before I got pregnant, I would love to be filled in.

Good...lost 5 pounds since the fill, so it seems to be doing well...not really restricted, but ok...how are you doing?

Yea, I have been going to the gym nearly everyday but weekends, eating really well...no bread, no rice, no pastries and cakes...and have been eating healthy. I just had my first fill last Tuesday (3/10) and I am hoping to see some more results. I am down 17 one month out...so I am hoping for another good month.

Hey there...thanks for friending me, where are you at in the process? I had my surgery a month ago today, and got my first fill last Tuesday....it hasn't been nearly as hard or scary as I thought it would be! Hope to hear from you. *e

So I got filled, and survived...you were right...not a big deal, I was sort of weirded out my doc just sort of felt around and stuck me...haha. I was almost tempted to scream out, "my pancreas!" but I refrained

You too...have fun with the bridge and pinochle

Hey you...how are things, I am down 15 with my first fill coming up in a week. Just wanted to say hi.

Hilarious!

No problem... I am a bit of a nerd. My appt is today at 4, I will definitely be sending you a text to let you know how it went.

*e

Well..that is good, not feeling hungry is always a plus. I am starting to get the hungry feeling, isn't it a trip differentiating from hunger you really are feeling from your mind psyching you out. That is one thing I am really amazed by, that I could not be hungry at all, but then something on TV or someone around me could be eating and I psychologically feel hungry...it is the weirdest thing.

Hilarious....so how's your fill you feeling 'restricted'

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!

Yay....you are a Friday the 13th bander as well!! I can't wait until Friday!!!

I have one right above my belly button, which I am sure the doc will find hilarious, one on each ankle, one on my lower back and one on my back right below my neck.
