  1. Yep...every month. No way will I get an unfill. I will deal with it.
  2. I feel the same about Kashi's Mediterranean Bruschetta "Cracks"!! LOL!!
  3. Wow...your doc is pretty laid back?! I had a full week post op of clear liquids, then another week of "full" liquids (shakes and such), then a week of mushies, a week of soft solids and then finally eased slowly into solids!
  4. Fancy handbag. Candles. Spa visit. High count sheets. Box set of old fav TV show.
  5. Ohhhhhhhh.....OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! :redface: :ohmy: :cursing: Well....I wish nothing but.....fluid and tightness for you and Bruce! :confused: ....and well...that it doesnt make you vomit!
  6. I get that sensation from constipation/gas. I didnt have it preband so it took awhile to figure it out....but through trial and error I have discovered thats what it is for me.
  7. Call your surgeons after hours service. Run it by them.
  8. Ooooo...P90X is hardcore. P90 isn't so brutal. I like P90 and wouldn't even consider P90X until I get in better shape!
  9. 13? No problem! You've got this! As Nike says, "JUST DO IT!"
  10. I won't lie....it was rough! My doctor required clears for the first week. Full liquids the second, mushies the 3rd, soft foods the 4th and ease into regular food after that. So, I drank lots of Gatorade 2, watered down apple juice, water, chicken broth....I think I had 1 or 2 lemon italian ices. Jello was allowed but bothered me a bit so I passed on that. What would 5% be for you in terms of numbers?
  11. Your welcome! Start tomorrow....it's November 1st. I lost 10 pounds postop on liquid diet, in 6 DAYS! Keep reminding yourself that you WILL eat real food again soon!
  12. You can still do it.....people drop A LOT of weight on liquid or low carb diets. You have 2 1/2 weeks....gut it out!!
  13. Also work in the medical field...but in Administration, so no... think I'll pass.
  14. I actually will indulge a bit because it is more appealing to me, and some how always tastes better when I put up a fight! haaahaa. Plus, I get tired of it pretty quickly so I figure....have some and then be a little better, workout a little extra to make up for it.
  15. Had surgery on a Monday......cried the whole next Friday. Over everything....it's a combination of: the magnitude of what we're going through, hunger, a bit of discomfort and in my opinion...anesthsia!
  16. So you have the baby....(congratulations maybe) and then you have your surgery in 18 months! Deep breaths...everything will work out exactly how it should!
  17. I get that occasionally. It took me a few times to realize it was gas and/or constipation. Moving the bowels gets rid of it everytime. edit to add: Until I realized what it was I was downright scared....it was pretty painful and I thought it was serious. Nope....good old constipation.
  18. I work in the medical field. Report her a.s.a.p. Totally unethical.
  19. Sounds like your port.
  20. You should talk with RestlessMonkey...she cheated.....and woke up from surgery without a band!
