      Lady, I'm sure you have spoken with your medical team about it. Have they identified what it could be or is it a seasonal cold? Hope you get better soon!!!

      Thanks Blade, I have, I am supposed to go this thursday to get the staples out, and can't wait cause it can't come fast enough. They hurt and just feel awful. I just wasn't aware that all this other stuff came along with having my stomach shrunk down in size? lol It's nuts? Oh well if this is part of it I have to deal with it now, cause it's a little too late to go back now? Not that I would want to.

  4. Sick with a head cold but sticking to my plan!!!

      Sorry you are in the ER!! I hope it is nothing serious. I couldn't believe it when you said you were going back to work so soon. I just returned to work 12 days post opt and it is exhausting and painful to the muscles on the incision site. I know it gets better every day but when you have to work it is still not fast enough.

  13. 6 more days, I am seriously doing this count down. I can not wait!!!

      Hi Moni_0330 I as well am anxious, not so much nervous, but I think that's because I had the lapband prior to this so I pretty much know the way it goes, I might get nervous that day, but we will see. I am just really excited!!! lol, Well good luck to you too, keep me posted how your doing!!!

    2. Moni_0330

      Moni_0330

      I originally came to the information seminar with the intention of getting the lap band. So glad I'm opting for the sleeve. Cant wait to see your progress. Dont forget to post pics!!:)

    3. pupichupi

      pupichupi

      Moni, I definitely will as I love seeing others pictures so I am definitely going to post to show success to others who are starting out like me. I actually had the band, and I am going bypass, cause I know I am very self destructive, and if I know I can get the sleeve now and still have one more surgery to go to bypass I will do something to sabotage myself??? So going straight to the last resort. LOL

  14. Getting Close, working my 2 week diet, and doing great, a week from today I will be bypassed!!!

  15. I am determined!!!

  16. I am disgusted!!!

  17. Hi boshie thanks for responding to my blog, I have been banded since feb 10 of this year, and I do drink coffee like everyday, but I guess I irratated it, and that is why I was having a hard time eatting and drinking. I am now going to be on a liquid diet to calm things down for a couple weeks. I am sure I will be fine soon.

  18. Hey Sylvia, well those sound good, I didn't know that they made sugar free klondike bars. Yum I should look for those. Well I am not giving up, but I didn't not do well at all this weekend. I am seriously at a point where I just need to kick my own butt and get moving. I know what I have to do, it's just doing it that is killing me. I will get there, I am so glad you accepted my friend request. I know it is good to have people that are going through what I am going through, and I would love to beable to someone else as I go through it too. If you need any help please just let me know. I am planning on going to the local meetings/support groups. I think having others in my local area will be a good thing to have to talk to them and get hints from them too. Well keep in touch!!!

  19. Hey Sylvia, I know just what you mean about the ice Cream, well I sent you a friend request, go accept it, and we can keep kicking each other in the butt to get our mojo in gear!!! Good luck!!!

  20. Hey Judy, I also have lost a little over 50 lbs, and I do the same thing forget that you need to chew alot and slowly eat when I first take a bit, cause I want to eat, and I am hugary. I do love steak, but it is so hard to chew enough. I actually made that for the kids last night and I had a bit of it and OMG, it was soooo good!!! LOL Oh well so my port is also really close to my skin, I can feel it mostly when I stand up, but I don't have to worry about my pants cause my port is up higher. Oh well good luck, and keep in touch let me know how your doing!!!

  21. Hello Maritza, sorry I haven't been on in a few days weekend was nuts, and then yesterday I didn't come into work either cause my mom got sick and called me at 4 in the morning cause she needed to go to the hospital, so I went and took her, thankfully the kids were at their dads!!! She had to have her Galbladder taken out!!! It made for a really long day!!! So anyway I don't get on here everyday usually just during the week cause I am at work and on the weekends I am just running around so much that computer is the last thing on my mind!!! lol, I also sometimes hate looking at the progress of others, cause I get discouraged and want to be like they are so bad it makes me upset, so I look sometimes but I try not to!!! So anyway hope you had a great weekend and everything is going good with you!!! Talk to you soon, God Bless, Tina

  22. wow, yeah your diet sounds just like mine, except add Cottage cheese, and lots of yogurt!!! I do the protien drinks alot instead of the protien bars, still have a hard time with the bars. I love taking the chocolate protien drinks and adding peanut butter to it and ice and making a smoothy and OMG so yummy just like a peanut butter cup!!!

  23. I do do splenda, cause I have a hard time with real sugar, too much sugar gives me an upset stomach where as splenda doesn't do that!!! You are lucky to have a trainer, I wish I did, I would love for Bob from the Biggest loser or Jillian to come see me, I would be very happy with that, they can come kick my butt around for a while lol!!! I think its fantastic that your close to the 100's, I wish I was, but I started in the 300's so I have to be happy with my success thus far!!! So anyway I think it's fantastic what you do and congrats thus far. I am glad we have each other and many more people to talk to that are going throught the same things or have gone through it, it makes it nice to have someone to talk to that understands!!! Well talk to you soon, God Bless, Tina

  24. LOL, Well Hi Maritza, my surgury was Feb 10th of this year, and I got it done in Massachusetts. My workout, to be honest is whatever I do daily, I have been slacking in that area, I should and need to get into some type of routine that I use my treadmill atleast 3 to 4 times a week and do the exercises I need to do, but I have just been so blah lately and whatever, so I haven't. As for my eatting, well I found that I can eat anything mushy or liquidy, but i have a hard time with solids, specially chicken or meats of all kind. I can not eat bread at all, but I eat fish very easy, shrimp I have a hard time with and same with rice. I don't know it's all very different then from what I used to do, so I still have a hard time at times, but I am doing ok so far. It is definatly a lifestyle change!!!

  25. Hey Morovis, lol, I don't even know your real name, but hey yeah hitting a plateau is a crappy thing, but you just have to push a little harder to get past it, I am at the same situation as you are. I have so much going on in my life right now that I am majorly stressed out so that doesn't help. So I am at 262 and still have a ways to go but 1 more lb and it will be my first 50 lbs off, which I am enjoying, but I am finding it tougher now. I don't see my doctor till October again, so he was happy with my progress in july after my first fill so he wanted to push me out to 3 months. Well anyway glad your doing good. Keep up the good work, God Bless!!!
