  13. Sounds good Christine...it's like one day of having bad stuff turns into 2 days and so on...this was always my problem with diets before the band......the nice thing is though at least with band I don't gain cause I can't each as much of it!! :sad: Hey Reggie....I got the same thing about the same time...I got prune juice and mixed it with water made with crystal light so I didn't have to taste it.....it worked for me...and I really haven't had much problem with it since......When is your first fill scheduled? Who I think I'm going to pick up one of those Brita water things I never thought about that...our fridge has a filter on it but I'm weird about water flavor too...I swear it taste like the firdge....my hubby thinks I'm crazy!!!

  16. Hey ladies!!!! Sorry for the mia AGAIN!!!! How is everyone!!! So much stress here and it sounds like for everyone else too!! YUCK!!!! Well as far as I go had my first fill on the 12...went well.....I'm not sure if I already posted about it or not (looser!! :blushing:) but had 3cc form surgery her gave me 1!! I can see a differance...I am not as hungry as I was and the scale finally started moving again!!! I was 205.5 today.....come on 199..... Had a little ice cream today oh my gosh I got the worst stomach pain...anyone else had that...I was also nauseas for about 4 days....everytime I ate no matter what it was I would get sick...not throw up but nauseas...I emailed Dr.Baggs and of course he got right back because hes awesome!!!! But he said its normal and as long as I am keeping my 75% protein down I'm good...today the nausea subsided just a little thing with the ice cream...so so far....no rice, no bread and no ice cream for me...they just make me sick!! I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone....is every body going on the 27? I MISS YOU GUYS!!! DARN WORK TAKING UP ALL MY TIME!!!
  17. me too!!!! Your right Christine it will come!!
  18. I know Tina...I told my husband today that I thought maybe I should have got Gastric bypass....I know I dont totally think that...but dang I thouht it would be a little easier than this.....I keep trying to tell myself at least I haven't gained
  19. Hey ladies!!! Tina he wrote the 23rd on my paperwork!!! Wow lots of intresting things.......I find that although I dont eat much when I am in social enviroments I struggle......ggggrrrr...I feel like I would be so much further if I could stop eating when I'm not hungry..... I can do this.....I have to remind myself I went through surgery......I cant blow this....
  20. Hey ladies!!! Ok had my first fill today!!! Not bad......Dr.Baggs said I had 3cc at surgery so he gave me 1 more...really only 1.......well we will see...... I will not be at the group fill on the 25th he said it is to soon after this one...however they do have me scheduled for my second fill on July 23rd as a group at panole.... Tina.....I too am learning what works and what doesn't.....so I know rice is a no no...well I know why...every time I have had even a little I get nauseas...also any type of bread or pasta makes me the same...unless its like melba toast and I seem to do ok with that..... I work for private...but we run with city......it's acctually my husband who is having problems with some of our co workers who don't know what they are talknig about...however the stress of it I notice myself telling myself its ok to eat cause I'm stressed!!! YUCK!!! I hate that!!! I also feel like this band is her for the ride.....I'stayed at 207 for like 3 weeks.......we will see what happens now with my fill!!!! How are you Reggie???? How are you feeling? Hows the weightloss.... I miss you all so much so bummed I couldn't make it to lunch......but I will be there on the 27th Kaiser!!!!
