soocalchic

you are too kind hun thanx for the beautiful comment i appreciate it. I am not quite at goal, but i am better off than i was before.

Aww thnx.. Still working on it got about 5o lbs to go..

at this point i do. I am eating very little and get full fast. I am dropping weight so I figure why mess with it yet. I just finished 35 min walk/jog on the treadmill so I think I'm going to not ask for a fill but I want to make sure the placement of my band is good since I'm having a flouroscopy. do you know how many cc's you had in your band as a primer when you first went in?

doing good girlie. I just started excersising this week going to take a jog on the treadmill in a little bit. I have an appt to se Dr. K on the 23rd for a fill. Not sure if I need it though we will talk about it. I will be 5 weeks out by then. I have alot more energy now that I'm drinking and eating a little more. How have you been? dropped any weight with your last fill?

i excercised alot before i had surgery and i went 5 weeks without loosing a pound. I got discouraged and i stopped working out while i still dieted and would you believe it i dropped 3 pounds just like that. I am going to be cycling my workouts once i start again. I strenght train and hit the speedbag and heavy bag for cardio. I also jump rope but not sure if I am going to be able to do that again. dont want to slip my band lol. Do you lift weights? might want to incorporate that into your work outs just keep in mind that when you work out you are gaining muscle and might not loose any weight. So you hae to have periods when you cut and periods when you gain muscle mass.

so far i have lost about 13 lbs post op so not too bad i guess but like i said i really havent been eating/drining much. Just cant seem to get it all down. I returned to work last night and let me tell you those 10 hrs were a little tough my belly was a bit sore from all that sitting i did. I tried walking around but it just wasnt enough.I'm glad that you are uping your excersise bad thing about excersising is that it makes you hungry make sure that you are getting in sufficient cals to ensure that you dont paltreau.

hey girlie i saw Dr. K today and he was a sweetie pie he was so nice and it was funny how he complimented me for beeing an informed patient lol. I have one more week to go on the liquids and frankly can probrably do liquids for a while. I asked what band i got and i have a lapband ap standard 10cc. I asked if he filled the band at all during surgery and he told me that they leave the primer fill in there so its not deflated. I was like no wonder i totally feel it. I havent been hungry at all but i know that will all change soon. I had my first fill scheduled for the 30th of Dec when i told him he informed me that he would be out of town that week. So they scheduled me for the 23rd one week before sounds good huh.. I didnt realize that was just 2 days before Christmas eek no christmas dinner for me Depending on how i feel i just might cancel that fill appt. I dont want an overly tight band. Sorry for the long post just a bit excited i guess..

wow sucks chica hope youre feeling better I'm seeing Dr. Khalilli today. Beeing on liquids doesnt suck that much lol

Dr. Khalili was out of town wouldnt they know that before hand lol. Anyways I'm over it. I have been drinking muscle milk when i do get them in. I am down 10lbs so not too bad. OMG yesterday was a little tough for me those pumpkin pies looked soo yummy lolz..

Sorry to hear about your thyroid issues

hope you get those resolved. as far as things go I'm not back to work yet..Going back Dec 1st 3 days before my bday yaay. Why did they call me from Dr. Khalillis to reschedule my post op apt i was livid. I just cant get them to see me when they need to. I'm getting better with the drinking. Today i just seem to have no energy painwise I have none just some minor discomfort here and there. I'm scheduled to see Khallili on Dec 1st for my post op. I guess better late than never. Could you believe than when I questioned what their back up plan was as far as if anyone had a complication they said that their on call Doc was ill and that they would be refered to the ER. I was like you have to be shitting me such a big practice with no plan C lolz.. Anyhoot I should have known what i was signing up for getting banded so close to the holidays.

cant seem to get them all down for some reason just not interested in drinking lol.. What are you eating? try eating leaner meats and vegies for a while get all your protein in and lots of water should get the scale moving

Im allergic to vicodin and percocet doesnt come in a liquid well i made do and crushed the percocet into a tiny bit of the tylenol so that i can take it because i was in a little bit of pain. and yes im on liquids for 3 weeks

thanks girlie yeah Ive been doing well been siping and walking lol

well i had surgery this morning and I must tell you it wasnt that bad. I do have a terribly sore throat omg that hurt worst than anything else lol!!Crushing the percocet isnt going to work for me so i just sent the hubby to get me some liquid tylenol. The crushed medicine upset my stomach. I got to come home by 3pm so its been cool recouping here at home

Omg i am so livid right now i got a call from Angelina the patient coordinator today at 3pm to tell me that my labs are incomplete. Ironically i need a pregnancy test that was not done. Coincidence im on my period and my hubby has had a vasectomy i know TMI. So I rushed on over to Labcorp to have that done and they are going to fax over the results today since theyre doing it stat.I still cant help to fell really upset about this. I even called them earlier this week to make sure everything was ok and didnt hear back from them. Hope they get these results on time.

Yes girl Im hispanic and i love hot sauce. I have a whole section in my fridge dedicated to this habbit lol.. From what i know we should be able to resume eating hot sauce just not right away. I plan on not having an overly tight band so shouldnt be a problem. My nutricionist said no rice, tortillas or bread for the first 6 months so thats going to be tough in itself.

Oh did i forget to mention that i dont have a preop diet.. I just have to do clears the day before surgery.. So you guessed it im eating like its going out of style. Yeah I'm putting myself in check. I cant continue beeing a gluton lol!!

I said i wouldnt do this to my self but i have been eating like a pig not sure whats thats all about but i guess its me beeing nervous. I'm no stranger to surgery so thats not the part that im nervous about i guess its more like what you mentioned life after the band. We also entertain on Thanks Giving and well were going to have about 30 people over and I'm helping the hubby cook and not eating is going to be tough.. Oh well I will get over it. I hope lol!!!

hey chica looks like we are beeing banded the same day good luck I'm a little nervous but excited..

Hi girlie see your date is close congrats lets us know how it goes..

wow im glad you are doing well, my insurance requires a 23 hour hold so still outpatient which is cool. I have 70 lbs to loose. I guess once i get to goal i will reevalute I'm 5"8 so 175 should be ok. Besides I have 800cc implants that are probrably going to be to large so dont want to get too small lol!!

Not sure as far as I know its outpatient.. I hope I dont have to stay overnight. So how have you been doing with your new adjustment? Do they do your adjustments with a flouroscope?

girl yes i met with Dr. Khalili yesterday for my preop he was a chatty Cathy once he warmed up to me, he was a bit skiddish at first. Hell yeah I'm nervous and excited 2 weeks wow...

Hey girlie looks like you are doing great I'm beeing banded soon and i'm excited lol..

ok thanks got a couple of quick questions does Khalili use staples to close? and also how many fills did you have before you had restriction? and which band do you have? Dam im nosy lolz!! TIA I'm meeting with him on the 3rd but im anxious to know..
