hiccups!!?
My surgeon told me that could be my "sign" that I am getting full too. I get the hiccups quite often regardless of what I eat. My co-workers told me they wish they would get a sign that they were full because obviously they wouldn't be overweight if they got a sign. LOL!

Biggest Loser Fall 09
Last year or the year before one of the behind the scene trainers was arrested for something..can't remember what. I'm hoping that's all it is cuz they tried to bring in a new trainer and it wasn't the same. I LOVE BOB AND JILLIAN!!!! If they were one person that would be awesome....I could look at Bob all day and work out with Jillian! LOL!

does anyone have really loud girgling type noises?
I get that too. I've warned my co-workers in case they hear it. They say they can't hear it. I usually get it right before meal time. No biggie....just funny! LOL!

Violent diarrhea help!!
Yeah, would like to chat with ya on yahoo. my yahoo id is scottishlassywsp. The first couple of days was broth and water. Thursday I did mashed potatoes with broth....mixed to make them soupy....yummy and protein shakes. THen tonight I am eating this refried bean mixture...I think I saw it on this website somewhere....mixed with mashed potatoes. I know I probably won't be able to eat the potatoes long, but I need something more than liquid. Ya know?? Hope you start to feel better.

Violent diarrhea help!!
LOL....sorry to laugh, but I am just picturing you running to the bathroom. I had my surgery Monday also and was fine til yesterday also. I had a little diarrhea yesterday, but nothing like what you are having. I took some Gas-X and haven't had any other problems. My stomach rumbles a lot, but that is about it. Have you called your dr? Hope you get better.

Any July Bandsters out there?
I had mine done on the 13th also. I feel nauseous also and when I drink a protein shake I feel like it's never ending. Sleeping is hard for me also. My shoulder hurts....gas or stiffness from the way I sleep????? I wish you all well and I'll be checking in to see how we are all doing?????
-
extremely excited but also really nervous...
I'm 3 days post-op and I felt everything you all are feeling. Currently I am nauseous a lot, but I know it'll go away. I haven't gotten sick...that is what I am scared of. My husband worried....my mom and dad worried.....I worried. Up until they strapped me on that table I was having second thoughts. Once they gave me the meds to relax I was out til I got into recovery. I am so excited for that day where I can walk without being tired. The first 2 days I slept a lot. I don't know if it's because my body needs the rest after surgery or if it's because I am scared to do too much. I wish you all luck with your surgeries.

July 2009 Dates
Banded yesterday....July 13th. Doing good so far. A little stiff, but all in all pretty good.:thumbdown:

Any July Bandsters out there?
I have no problems drinking water...thank goodness. I had my surgery yesterday and am a little stiff today because I slept propped up on pillows. I'm a stomach and side sleeper. :thumbdown: My shoulder hurts but other than that and the stiffness I'm good to go. I was nervous/excited too, but I knew once I woke up that I did the right thing. I am so happy that I got this done. I was afraid to let some people know because a lot of them I haven't seen in years and they were shocked that I needed it....that I had gained that much weight, but now that it's done, I can't wait for them to see me when I lose it!!!!! Good luck with your surgery and we are all here for you!!!!

Going to post before my laptop dies!!! LOL!!!! My surgery is Monday and I'm exited....and nervous. I've only lost 7 pounds. I'm on low cal diet....I usually do protein shakes during the day and a lean cuisine or ww meal at night. My husband is going to come and wait for me...awwww....just kidding. He is legally blind and can't drive so my sister is taking us there and will pick us up, but my hubby will be there probably listening to his MP3 player or something until it's time to go. Hopefully all will go well.....good luck to those still waiting for surgery and congrats to those who are done with theirs..... July Jewels rock!!!!!!!!!!! :confused:

I hope that you are able to get it all straightened out and get the surgery.

About me
I am so excited to get this done. I want my husband and my kids to have a healthy wife/mom. My daughter (who is 9 and about 62 lbs) said "So you'll be skinny like me??" I laughed and said "Well, you look just like me when I was your age and I do not want you to look like me when you're my age. I won't be as skinny as you but I will be skinnier than I am now." Kids say the darndest things don't they??? Congrats on your loss so far. I just can't wait!!!!!!!!!!
