Hi. I was banded 7/06, had my first fill (1cc) 2 months ago, and now my second fill a couple of days ago (2.5-3cc md is unsure?). Since that time I have felt as though liquids go down slowly and i'm having a hard time eating solids even with chewing VERY carefully. They don't necessarily come back up but they sit there and hurt. Soup is fine, and mushies seem to sit for a while but then go. Anything else and I'm miserable. Am I too full or just not used to this thing? Liz

I have regular ear piercings- no big deal, but when I got my cartilage pierced it didn't hurt so bad when they did it, but it took a YEAR for it to finally heal so that I could sleep on that side! (speaking of which i need to go put that back in, they made me take it out for surgery) I'm totally getting my bellybutton done when I'm skinnier.

I'm in for this month, but let me get back to the states before I can tell you all my info... Liz

You know dezadoo, I accidentally added that extra "e" into your sentence... then i realized you meant surgery lol

Do the seasickness patches help with a hangover? :) Kidding!!!!

Congratulations, and I LOVE the tattoo.

Excellent idea, and just imagine if we ALL have water- oh boy, watch out. I hear that funny gets into some pretty FUNNY stuff!!! lol

Scared, SCARED! Running around with my head under my arm. Tomorrow's the big day! I need a great big tranquilizer.

ROFLMAO We crack me up! I think we should have rooms near each other in case we get "waterlogged"

So say someone was going to attempt to bring some contraband ETOH (alcohol)... It should go in the carryon? Should it perhaps find a Water bottle to fit into? I'm sure I'm not talking about myself... ***looking around*** :bananapartyhat:

Karla, Thanks. I'm kindof scared right now, but this time tomorrow I will be banded!

It's called Pica. Weird stuff. Not that I've ever done it.... :Banane56: But I did learn about it in school.

At least you weren't wearin buttcrack panties Paul!! :target:

Liquid tylenol is often in walmart. if you can't find the regular adult type, go look for tylenol "sore throat"... just liquid tylenol too.... check the ingredients label to be sure though. You know how horoscopes have their "cusps"? Well I feel like i'm on the july/august cusp

I feel you guys! I get banded in 3 days... ACK. I've been "last suppering" my heart out. You know, I know in my head that I'll be able to eat food again, but my tummy isn't hearing it. I'm scared of the post-op diet.

Thanks for the info funny. I'm actually sitting here laughing because somehow my 40DD size isn't listed there!!! LOL I think it's a conspiracy! "They" don't want me to be cute. LOL

I can't wait!!!

i have been geeling all of the same ways as you guys! Why haven't I done this on my own? My parents wouldn't approve of Mexico. Am I crazy? Will I ever be able to eat sushi again? Urgh. Glad to know I'm not the only one!

I never understood that. The girls with the HUGE breasts (myself included) never get the pretty bras!!??? Wazzupitdat???? It's my one asset. I don't get it. I'm going to chunk the ugly bras and parade around in cute ones. I might get arrested... it might not go over well at work.... maybe i'll wear a shirt too!

AWW MO! you beat me to it! LOL

Karla, I'm also a self pay (which is why i'm getting it done in mexico, i was approved in ocala, fl originally). Started a year ago. Congratulations, nice to meet you~! I'm ready for this surgery to be over now All right everyone- updates on how you're doing?

Time to live- check out the other XXX thread. It started out as that exact question regarding swallowing. All sorts of answers (that mostly say it's okay if you're into that).

Oh my gosh, beachee it just seems like yesterday when you were getting banded.

So I was at home last night, thinking of great sex, and I took off my clothes and then five hot guys climbed into my bed. We had some feathered handcuffs (you know, the pink kind) and some other interesting toys. Okay, kidding. I thought there should be something remotely naughty.

There is diet minute maid lemonade, which I think is pretty yummy. I think it has about 5 calories.
