Would You Wear a Mini-skirt?
I said yes and reason being I've never had the chance to wear one I've been pretty big since I was 9 so even tho I'll probably be 30 by then... I'm still going to try it out!

Hey August Bandsters!
Sounds like your doing great :thumbup: Im about a month post op and im feeling pretty good myself i backed up and am still kinda on mushy foods just cuz i want to give my tummy a little extra time to heal. I could eat anything i wanted and it doesnt bother me but im sure it could do some damage so i just avoid that train wreck lol I bet your going to have an easier time at work in a few weeks you adjust pretty quickly keep us posted :tongue2:

Simple Poll - If you had it to do over...
Haven't been banded even 2 weeks yet but as for right now it's a yea probably... But might be a hell yea once I get a fill my band doesn't have anything in it at the moment so I'm getting a bit hungry but still down weight since the surgery so yea on the fence but leaning on the yes side and that was self pay

Annoyed at my husband
Thanks for the replies and they have had alot more fast food in the house and i just have to get used to the fact that they love food too at least im not starving or anything yet lol.. They dont go out to eat when i cook for them meaning in short they are lazy and if i dont cook someone in a uniform does, but im feeling better ill probably start cooking again monday unless its over 100 degrees aain next week and we dont have an air conditioner i refuse to leave my cold cave of a room then lol i mean i am on solid food again i could cheat but i really dont want to and that there is the most important thing i think!

Annoyed at my husband
I don't know if it's just me not feeling good, the smells of the fast food my husband and his brother are bringing home, or my husband going out to eat almost every dinner since I got on liquid diet because I'm not cooking and I guess they are too lazy to do it. When I felt fine we wouldn't go out much cuz my husband would complain about getting fat and stuff, he wears a medium shirt he's just got it all in his head.. But as soon as I'm off my feet they go eat the good stuff and I'm here sipping liquids meh sorry I'm just annoyed and he tells me I have no reason to be and that it's probably just cuz I don't feel good that I'm being unfair... I just wanted to vent that

Gastric Banding Center San Diego, Ca
I'm doing much better today! You aren't dreaming it isn't horrible laying down for me and getting back up hurt the most but the day of surgery I walked a bit at home the next day I walked a mile and my goal 2 days out from surgery is to walk 2 miles so it really is fast recovery and it's important to move around during recovery the bending stuff might be a bit difficult but I didn't cry from pain or anything I had some gas pain in my shoulders and some other gas pain that I just took care of with gasx strips. I don't have kids but I have a husband and his brother that I cook and clean for and I was ok doing it the next day.

Gastric Banding Center San Diego, Ca
We did go with care credit only because it was hard to get credit anywhere else so meh they are ok we are taking out a 401k loan to pay it all off next month the payments would have been 300 ish a month but they charge alot of interest. But they work I'm glad I got it all done all in all
