losingjusme

well fairy, the reason i lost is cause i was too tight for about 2 of those 3 weeks.... i literally ate about 3-4 bites of food with each meal. the only reason i didnt lose more is cause of one of my cravings (still crave/eat them actually)... Hostess Cherry pie... OMG!!!! soooo good. the funny thing is, i never used to like them. but now, i get one and eat 2 bites of it and then throw it in tupperware and it lasts a few days...

ummm... ok, confession time... i gained DOUBLE DIGITS between my 5th and 13th week ... between 13 & 16, i lost 9 pounds... i wouldnt sweat it for 2 pounds really. are you following bandster rules? i wasnt i was nauseated all the time and the only thing that helped was a Sonic lime fresh fruit slush (pure sugar pretty much)... keep us posted...

as eloquent and to the point as always green... but i dont think it's just this thread...

sorry you've had a bad experience. please tell us your fill level, what are you eating? are you exercising? those are all very important factors. the band is only a tool, you have to work it for it to work. good luck.

surprise penis shots!?? netflix here i come! :biggrin:

what a cool idea, thanks Alex!

SnT - isnt it great when MD offices are organized and do what the need to do!??!! your surgery will be here before you know it!

dont think it's the prenatals ... i think it's pregnancy itself :biggrin: well, if you're anything like me, you may wanna stock up..

LMAO libra (sorry for the hijack Fairy).. your ticker... "dont tell mommy i've already learned how to flip people off!"

glad to hear that you're pulling through it OK.. you will get through this. love the new av pic!!

ohhhhhh fudge ... :biggrin::drool::biggrin::drool::biggrin: peanut butter/chocolate fudge... great ... i see a 'craving in the making' and nowhere to get a chunk of it around here... thanks Leslie :wub:

it was a joke btw ... i think manatee gets it... :tt2:

YAY SnT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :tt2:

Manatee *pout* ... you're not even supposed to be in here ... *pout* :tt2:

i didnt have Dr. Carter, but since you asked about bedside manner - on the date of my surgery i was PETRIFIED... white as a ghost, they couldnt find a vein for the IV, etc... not a good experience. AND my surgeon was nowhere to be found. Dr. Carter sat on my bed and tried to calm my nerves a bit... i will never ever forget that... one thing i have heard - he is VERY conservative with his fills. best of luck to you!

oh dear... you dont know the half of it... :tt2:

well, i've had a brain fart 16 weeks so far... only 24 more to go.. :tt2:

yeah well Leslie, i'm full of em somedays... :tt2: TMJ - The TMJ Association - changing the face of TMJ youch!!!!
