Well, after I posted that question, I got a call from school. Seems like my little guy was not feeling well. Took him in yesterday afternoon and he has the flu. I guess he got it from me, I was dead last week. I didn't get home from the dr's office until around 6:30, so I couldn't have gone anyway. I hope I don't get in trouble. I was looking forward to it. I have really enjoyed the meetings I have been to so far. Talk to ya later, k? lisa

Susan, are you going tonite?

I know what you mean about the choc. eggs. I wish they were gone from my house! lisa

I'm sure you can. When I made my first appointment, I saw Dr. H. But, Dr. K. has done all my fills. Speaking of which, I have an appointment on the 30th at 9:15. When is yours? It would be cool to put a face with the writing. I like to see who is sending messages, know what I mean? I know Susan. Will you be going to the Texarkana, Mt. Pleasant, or Idabel meetings? I know someone that goes to Idabel too, but she musta got too skinny and blowed away. (Sorry, I don't use proper English. lol) She is like everyone else, busy, busy, busy. Where's Genia? WHERE ARE YOU SUSAN?? Sorry to get off the subject. I think they both see you. Both are in OR when you have the surgery. Which ever Dr you pick, the other is assisting. I think that is really good. Both know what is going on if you ever have trouble. lisa

You keep them! I don't want them anymore!!! When you get tired of those 5 pounds, send them to some skinny person. That way, I know I won't get them. lol I'm glad you found somewhere to finance your band. You won't regret it. Just remember, you have to be patient. It's not a race anyway. It's just you doing what you know is best for yourself. Have you set a date yet? lisa

Hi Susan and everyone else! How is everyone today? Me? I still feel horrible. But, I am still alive. I guess that's a good thing, right? Yesterday, I got really excited. I haven't weighed in a few days and when I got on the scales, I had lost a couple of pounds. Now, I know I'm not supposed to weigh everyday, but I did this morning and my couple of pounds are back and they brought a couple of their friends. I am getting sooooo frustrated! It seems that when I loose five pounds, it comes back. I know monthly things happen, but I have been loosing this five pounds since before my last fill in March. Gain and loose, gain and loose. If you add them all together, I have lost 50 pounds, not 33. Ok, I not going to get everybody down with my stuff, so...... the end. Hope everyone has a good day! lisa

Belive me, I know what you mean. We played ball in the cold friday and I have been sick ever since. Monday was just another yucky day. At least, T goes back to school today and I can rest. I'm unplugging the phone and not even turning on the cell phone. Yall have a good day! lisa

Morning Everyone! Hope everyone has a good day. lisa

I'm here too. Just been a crazy week. Little league baseball. Need I say more?? I haven't had a very good week. Head hunger is driving me crazy. Haven't gained any, but I haven't lost any either. Grrrrrr That's really discouraging. And those chocolate eggs in the cabinet whisper to me everytime I walk thru the kitchen. Man talk about having to have will power! I will try to get online more often. But can't make any promises. It's spring and that means busy, busy, busy! See yall later! lisa

I'm gonna play in the yard. I have to mow. I hate Mondays. Well, I have to say, I'm back to starving again. Booooo-Hisssss! Have a good day! lisa

Hello txredrobin. Welcome. I found this little paragraph in a hand out that I was given at a support group meeting. Clues that an erosion has developed include a port site infection far removed from surgery, or loss of restriciton to food. It can cause free release of stomach contents into the abdominal cavity, leading to peritionitis, but most of the time the erosion is localized and contained around the stomach itself. A surgeon might also notice that fluid that has been added to the band is not accounted for. Treatment of erosion must be accomplished surgically, and can often be done laparoscopically. In one or two stages, the band is removed, the sites of injury to the stomach are repaired, and the band is replaced. It paints a grim picture, I know, and I'm sure there are other symptoms. If you suspect erosion, please call your physician and make an appointment as soon as possible. lisa

I accidently swallowed a little piece the other day. I guess I'm not restricted enough to cause any problems. (Or blessed) I used to use eclipse gum when I didn't have mints. I guess I will have to make sure I have mints from now on or just stay away from people. lol lisa

I don't know why you can't chew gum. (Personally, it makes me hungry). I would look on the package for the sugar alchohol content. Those are bad toooooooooooo! lisa

Susan, don't ask.... I have wanted to eat the house down this weekend. I think head hunger strikes again. BUT today is a new day and I have made a promise to myself to do better. How's yours? LLS, how are you this morning? Just being a week out, I guess you are doing the liquid thing still? Talk to yall later! lisa

Hi Linda, welcome aboard. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. We will try to help anyway we can. lisa

red. (I'm such wimp, it's probably the weakest!) lol

Hey Susan! I think I just might have some restriction today! Believe it or not..... I haven't been hungry all day. That is sooo cool. Went to Wally World this morning and got one of those bands everyone was talking bout. I think I got one for the Incredible Hulk, cause it's hard to pull. By next month, I will look like muscle woman! lol later, lisa

Why would that be depressing??? If I kept one, I would be depressed about how much I could eat. And wouldn't be a small quantity. I just measure out what I eat and when it's gone, that's it until the next meal. But, I am caving in. I know most of it is head hunger and thats a big problem. I can't seem to conquer that one! But, one of these days! And then there are those days where I want a hershey bar, but I won't get into that. grrrrr lisa

Yep, meeting next monday. I think I may be in trouble. Did Ms. Betty tell us to keep a journal? Or did I dream that? If I didn't dream it, I know I'm in trouble cause I don't have my homework. The dog ate it. lol Have a good day! lisa

Still here.... still hungry. Next Monday can NOT get here soon enough. Haven't posted cause Tanner is out of school this week. He keeps me pretty busy. How are you? Is the foot better? Still have restriction? Have you heard from Jana lately? Have a good day! lisa

yep, March 19th. It ain't soon enough for me. lisa

Hi Susan, I hate to hear about the foot. Have you seen a doc? Don't wait if it's really bruised. I'm glad to hear that you are not hungry. I wish I wasn't. lol Girl.... you sound like you are as graceful as me. lol If you need anything...... lisa

I'M HUNGRY..... didn't you hear my stomach growl? lol I am sooooo ready to get another fill. How are you doing now that you are all "fixed"? lol lisa

Way to go, Susan!!! Where is your ticker when you need it? I'm glad you are finally getting restriction. I know you are excited now. Keep after it and you will be slim and trim before you know it. Have a good day! lisa

Hellooooooo! Has everyone gotten blown away??? lisa
