Hey Perfect 10 in '10! Good to hear from you . . . I know what you mean about the hunger . . . my main problem now is being able to eat larger amount than I'm supposed to . . . see my doc on feb. 12 and hoping for a fill. When will you have a fill? For me, it's like there is no resriction, however, I'm trying to eat healthy stuff, just too much of it!!! Keep in touch, please!!!

Cont'd to Dawn:

Hope you're feeling better . . . when will you see your doctor again? I don't go back until Feb. 12, so I know that once all my swelling goes down, the hunger is going to really start, that's why, having little protein meals six times a day is my answer...now I just got to do it. Yes,definitely keep in touch...I get a little confused with this web site and the threads, somehow I think I lose people and postings ), anyhow, let me hear from you!!

Hey Dawn, thanks for the birthday wishes . . . it was a good day. My friends took me to a movie last night and I was worried, but made it through by taking in my yogurt and applesauce. The popcorn smell didn't bother me...very surprised about this.

Sorry to hear about the hernia, and no doubt has slowed down your recovery a lot. Yep, probably a bit too early for the lean cuisine, and yes, you (and me too) will learn...so please don't say "never learn" ! Are you using the GasX for bloating? Maybe that will help....I haven't had any nausea, but did have the gas, which GasX took care of....a little shoulder pain, but not much....only had one dose of pain medication once I got home....so the soreness has been bad to deal with, but has almost gone away. Cont'd next post...

Hey Dawn, wasn't sure whether to send this directly to you or just post on the Jan Journeys place....anyhow, you were banded on the 11th and me on the 12th . . . . how's it going for you now? Have you had any big problems? Have you wondered if you made the right decision? (I have but have to keep reminding myself that I couldn't do this w/o the band . . . let me hear from you!!

Thanks Laluxe for your encouraging message . . . am needing all I can get! Remaining constantly positive is hard to do when coupled with my lack of support from family and friends . . . so can't get new family, but will widen my circle of friends with you and others on this site! Thanks again!

Hey, I'm new to this group . . . band date for me is Dec. 29 .. . how are you doing now since your Dec. 8 band?
