  1. 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!
  2. 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!
  3. You may have your settings set to where only followers can comment on your blog.
  4. 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!
  5. Mine is www.scottishlassywsp.blogspot.com I can't wait to start reading some of those that were posted on here!!!! :biggrin:
  6. Where did you get your lovin' lap band thing....???? I love that!!!!!
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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?????
  10. 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.
  11. Banded yesterday....July 13th. Doing good so far. A little stiff, but all in all pretty good.:thumbdown:
  12. 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!!!!
  13. I hope my day 2 isn't like yours!!! LOL!!!! But try starting your menstrual cycle the day before your surgery! That stinks!!!!! :thumbdown: Cramps were in high gear this morning when I checked in for surgery, but i'm a little over 7 hours preop and feeling good so far!:crying:
  14. I am 7 hours post op and am doing good so far. A little tender and my mouth is sooooooooo dry!!!!!!! I've been dozing off and on since I got home and am propped up on pillows. How said is it that I am craving some broth! LOL!!!! I hope that everyone is doing good!!!!! Have a good day/night!!!!:thumbdown:
  15. 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:
  16. Good luck with all of this. I have Tricare also and I didn't need to lose/gain. I did have to have a psych consult which I didn't mind....it was nice to get a lot of stuff out!!!! :thumbup: I have had no problems (knock on wood) and my surgery is scheduled for July 13th. I hope that you are able to get it all straightened out and get the surgery.
  17. I have Tricare also. My surgery is July 13th and I can't wait. This is one of the MANY times I have been happy to have Tricare.
  18. They'll go by your height/weight and bmi. I'm 5'5" also...187 still seems heavy for our heighth.... Good luck!!!! I'm getting my surgery July 13 and am SOOOO excited! I hope this works out for you also. :thumbup:

    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!!!!!!!!!!
