Bababooey!

Hi. I just read your thread. It sounds to me like you need to have some of the saline taken out of your band. If you feel uncomfortable, and cannot enjoy food, than something is wrong.

I had a really bad weekend last weekend, it started Friday night, i ate a corn tortilla tostada shell, and it got SOOOOOOO stuck, it screwed me up for 3days, everything I ate got stuck. If felt the same way as you.. Like what have I done to myself? I went back to softer foods this week, and I am feeling much better.

Do you mind if I ask? How much have you lost total, to date?

Ha...I am reading Artie Langes book now...Do you listen to Stern? I am a big fan.

Love the pic of you and your baby.

Wondering how you are doing???

I wish you the best of luck with your weight loss. Those photos are really interesting!

Thank you for sharing the photos. Wish that would have been an option for me. Did your doc, ask if you wanted photos? How did you make that happen?

I would have loved to have those photos during my surgery, to help explain the process. Great visuals.

love the pics. It really gives me some insight of who you are. I love it.. You have a lovely family.. Loving the 80's photo of you and your wifey! I wore my hair the same way as her back then. HAHAHAHHA! Thanks for sharing.

You will NOT regret getting this surgery.. I have lost more weight i can feel it. I never weigh myself until the weekend, it's this weird thing I have. LOL But i can feel this weight starting to melt off. And i did my measurements yesterday.. I have lost 1.5 inches on my arms, waist, hips, thighs!

You WILL get back to where you where before!

You are hysterical! I just read your reply the Milk and fruit thread. I was laughing my ass off! You crack me up....claws, lips, assholes! Good stuff!

Good luck tmrw. :-)

Did you take more than one of the Gas-x strips? I made that mistake after surgery.. You NEED to take at least 3 or 4 of them in order for them to work.

Nov 10th is right around the corner. How have you been feeling? Are you anxious...excited...nervous..all of the above?

I felt all of those feelings. But today I feel it is the best thing I have done. I go for my first fill on Monday, I will let you know how that goes. Everyone keeps saying that is when the "real weight loss starts happening.??" We will see. I am almost as nervous/excited for the fill as I was the days before my surgery.

Hit me up if you wanna talk.

Your doggie is soo cute.

You are so right! A positive attitude will carry you through this journey. Thanks for your kind words.

Don't cut your hair girl! LOL

Just looked at your pics... you are already so pretty. This surgery will change your life! I am very happy for you!

Make sure to get the Gas-X strips before your surgery date and have them on hand. That to me was the worse part..post op. The Trapped gas hurts really bad. It may or may not happen to you.. but just in case. And make sure if it happens to take like 3 or 4 strips at a time.. Read the directions, on the box.. many people only take one thinking it will help, and the directions clearly tell you to take more. Try and walk up and down the halls at home after word.. it really helps!

Hey chica! Nov 10th is right around the corner. I just had my Surgery on 9/23.. so I am very new, but learning so much. Let me know if you need any advice. This is the best decision I have ever made! And this web site. AMAZING.. for learning.

LOL! 40.. eghhhhh! I put a pic up in my album. Not exactly thrilled about it, but its me. Hopefully i will look cuter soon. LOL

Hi. Alot of your replys to some of the threads are very insightful. Thought we could could friends. :-)

I just became the first to follow your blog. Very nicely done. We share our surgery dates. Sounds like your doing great Greg! I wish you the best of luck on your journey. This band is the best thing I have ever done.

I just wanted to tell you that I look at your photo journey everyday! You inspire me. Your words stick with me, and because of you I got off my ass, and started walking... TWICE a day. On my lunch, now...30 min, and right when I get home. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! This web site is Fantastic.. Thanks

hey girl, just read your reply. I think you will be fine. Just be careful. If it stayed down and you dont feel bad, you are fine. I was banded on 9/23 very recently, and i could use some support. Lets be friends and help eachother through this crazy ass journey. We can give eachother support and ideas

AHHHH.. You put your pic up! I also noticed we are really close in age. I was born I am going to put some pics up this week.

Thank you for the help. I am down 10lbs now.. Wooo Hooo. I am going to try and put some pics on my album this weekend. I want to photograph my journey like you! Thanks Again!

hey girlie... I need to update my ticker.. I tried clicking on it, and thought it would take me to the ticker website, but it won't let me?? can you help!

I found it... Sorry.. I am new to this site, and i suck on the computer... learning. I love it. I am going take some phots and put them on my page. I am just getting started. I love how you photgraphed your journey. You rock!
