Wait Yoda there are always deals!! Both air canada and westjet usually have similar rates. But wait to book til a sale comes up. Check westjet.com They even have $5 off if you book online and $5 off on Thursdays something like that. Good luck.

I laughed when I read that. My sister came with me when I had my surgery. I figured that if I need help wiping my bum, well it would be pay back--- for all the years she tortured me. Dam, I didn't need her help:huytsao

Thanks everybody!! If I am still this tight after New years I will go and see a doc to have an unfill. I believe there is a clinic in Puerto Vallarta that does the lap band.

Hey Mandi It sound like you are having a great vacation!! It must feel great hearing all those positive reactions!!

Hello every one. Well, I went into the city to pick someone up at the airport. Hit the malls. Am I crazy??! :bananapartyhat: There is a Christmas rush in Mexico too! I went to Walmart. I found a scale where you pay 2 pesos and it spits out your weight. How desperate am I, I weighed my self dressed in a store full of peoples without a care. :faint: That is a NSV of sorts!!! Oh and not only once but twice, just incase! I was happy with the numbers considering I was dressed and wearing sandles.:clap2: My major problem right now is I am barely able to keep anything down. Christmas we went out for supper. :hungry: I had a forkful of mashed potatoes and stuffing and 2 bites of ham and ever since, I can barely drink. Today I suffered from a caffine withdrawal headaache and probably from dehydration. I really do not want to have to get an unfill here:cry Mandi, you had a similar problem, right? How long did it last for you? My fill was Dec 5th. I really want to eat guacamole and refried beans. I have only been eating tings that do not taste gross coming back out. Because everything has!! Thanks girls!

HI mOOKIE I flew home 2 days after my surgery and the seatbealt was not an issue. But if you can bring a small travel pillow it might help you be more comfortable. But mookie it really is not that painful!! and they give you drugs!! best wishes to you!

Dawn I bet he is secrely in love with you. You know what they say "there is a thin line between love and hate! " So when he is being ignorant, giggle to yourself, thinking that he really wants you!!! Have fun with it!!!!

Hey Green I haven´t gone riding yet. And it is still there on main street. That´s pretty much what we do. we walk around, hang out, go to the beach.. The only thing is my kids are fussy eaters, So they have been eating lots of grilled cheeses and plain noodles!!! When we have our company we will eat out more and they will have a chance to experience the great food and hopefully I can too. I wish I had brought my scale. I am sure I am down ...oh well when my clothes fall off I´ll know for sure.

Thanks girls. I tried to have a pina colada last nite. No luck. I am expecting visitors from Canada on the weekend I will make sure they bring some protein shakes. I have taken electrolytes, just to be sure I done end up in a Mexican emerg. EEk Neenagh I´ll let you know how the tequila shakes are!! Thanks Mandy for the finger waggin´´ Hasta la vista!!

Actually I am so tight everything that goes in, comes back out and somehow multiplies!!!! I am lucky if I can drink half a cup of coffee. The first few days I would try to eat and BPéd all day long now I concentrate on drinking first to make sure I do not dehydrate. I did manage to drink one margarita. Kept it in for half hour... I am hoping it will ease up a bit so I can eat some guacamole and salsa and rice and all the other stuff I dare not try right now. We are on the pacific coast, the beach here is so beautiful. and no winter!!!! I hope you all are doing good. I am just happy that I am losing weight, even if I can´t eat right now. And since we are carless here I walk ALOT. Some thing I have not done in a long time. Adios

I will be sunning my buns on the beach in Mexico!!!!

I did. Twice. The interest rates are higher, but they are willing to negociate. And you don´t have to explain what you are doing to people that may know you. Good luck. Really though no problems here!

OK you guys found me. I am in Mexico!!!! I got a fill on Dec 5th in TO and left for Mexcio a few days later. I have been having trouble getting on the internet at the wireless cafe, its like....dial up. Sorry Cloe! I kept getting bumped off, it was way too frustrating and never got on here again. All is well in my world!! All though I am too tight and have not been able to enjoy any of my favorite dishes. Very sad, Don´t you all feel sorry for me?? Don´t answer that!! I didn´t bring my scale but I am hoping that I have lost some weight. Well, I´ll try to keep in touch but hey the beach is calling me. Do you hear it ??

Going for my third fill on Tuesday. I am choosing to fly to Toronto to have it done. I don't think the sweaty doc has had quite enough practice for me yet. And since I've all ready invested so much money into this "tool" I should maintain it and not jeopordize it(by unskilled doc) I do slime often and have not been eating properly:phanvan . PB'ed too but I do not think I have enough restriction. Cause when I do eat foods that go down, I can eat lots:speechles . I have been hovering around the same weight which pisses me off LOTS.:angry :angry :angry So a tightening is due. I'll tell you you about it Wednesday. Cause it is a 3 day trip for me...

Ginch???!! wow I have not heard (read) that word in forever! Does anyone else use that word?

"And they were wearing nothing but a pothole! Citizens of Saskatchewan town pose nude for calendar to protest bad road" This is a headline msnbc peculiar posts. this is the direct link www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15957759/ (I am so excited I figured out how to put a link!!!!!) When I saw that, I wondered if this is where you are from...

Mandi you are so beautiful and wow what a difference. WYou should be so proud of yourself!!! I admire your success. Keep motivating us!

Yoda, I feel like a loser cause the only time I ever talked to the doc was for a short telephone consult and then 2 minutes before my surgery. Never seen or heard from him (either of them). I did find Nancy the fill tech nice and helpful and when I had called her to get my stuff fax the "sweater" she was great. So they don't do fluro at the clinic? How do you get one of those? You have to the doctor's pet?LOL

Congrats!! I liked Propel Water and Powerade. They helped keep my energy level up somewhat and. And when I was too hungry I just went to bed!!!! I had a hard time with the hunger the first week or so too. I feel for you.

Happy birthday, Mandi. I was wondering where you were yesterday...busy eating dq cake!! Ever try the treatza pizza. Yummy.

I should cancel the satelite service. This way my children wouldn't be exposed to all those commercial and want everthing. Man, everything is so expensive. I told everyone this year since I will be away I will not be buying gifts and nopt to buy us any! For my kids birthdays I ask parents not to bring gift for my kids instead to make a donation to a charity. My kids get enough stuff for me and their dad everyday.

Mandi I've had avocado on a veggie sandwich. Tomato cukes and avocado. It is so buttery tasting it makes up for no butter or may.

I love guacamole. I mix it on my plate with refried bean and rice and salsa. Yum.

Cloe I missed you! Wow what a scarry experience. I happy to hear you are feeling better. Take care.

Has anyone who was banded in PV gone there for a fill? I will be there for a long vacation and wanting to get a fill there, any advice???
