Last nite hubby and I had take out Chinese. Shrimp fried rice and some chicken. No problem, it was yummy. Today I heated up some leftovers for lunch. Whoa, big problem with the rice! I now know what stuck is and I know what sliming is. Gross!!! I haven't had problems with any foods since being banded 5/5/08 and I've lost over 33 pounds with 2 fills. Why in the world would the food go down OK one day and not the next? Is this normal? As I was standing over the kitchen sink sliming (I know TMI), my dogs were just looking at me wondering what I was doing. Don't think I'll be trying that again for awhile.:party:

So...umm....WAY TMI!! Be forewarned!! questions about Flagyl! Important Poop Question from a Post Op...Help. -
good afternoon ladies. Just a quick check in since I needed a lbt fix. I fixed my curtains for my bathroom. The tiler is coming Monday so that maybe by Tuesday I can have my bathroom back... or at least my shower. I can't wait to have it all done. I'm trying really hard not to go to the store and buy new stuff for it until Monday when I go to Minot. Janet!!! How awesome you are! That is absolutely amazing. To think you went to the gym more than you didn't go to the gym. And you didn't even have a trainer for most of the year to keep you accountable. Just yourself. How great you are!! You will be in great shape when you get ready to do your ps too. DH is talking more and more seriously about banding. He called the new insurance lady to find out about whether the new insurance would cover it or if we wanted to cobra the old insurance. Then he said something about how exciting bed would be when he is skinny too. Okay...tmi I'm sure....but he's really getting there!!!! Well...I better go get something accomplished. I've only had one bottle of tea today so I need to get on the ball there. I hope you all are drinking like you're supposed to. Talk to you later ladies.

Hey gang what's up... I am beat wasn't going to get on the computer at all tonight - I am just too tired to think - but on QVC (listening Steph & Denise) phyilosoplhy is the TSV and they had a body spray (it's not todays spec value but I love the scent) - pure grace (ivory soap smell) that I had to order before it sold out and gs was on the phone - so as usual email pops up first had to ck that out - GREAT NSV for Candice on her Bandanniversay !!! Then had to come here and say Hi and see what went on today (was super busy at work :smile2:) Oh ya I HAD A FANTASTIC DINNER.... I am fricking super stuffed really didn't need the last 3 bite but it tasted so damn good (yes steph I wish I could be more like my daughter too) Well here it is - I know you all want to know what was fantastic Lean Cuisine Fettuccine Alfredo - ok ya not exciting - well I added 4 cut up scallops to it that I had sautéed in a little evoo & butter & garlic - OMG IT WAS SO FANTASTIC.... The lean cuisine is 270 cal - scallops 100 -= 370 calories (well really most likely 400 with the little bit of oil that stuck to the scallops as I spooned them our - but I am not technical - I count it as 370) and like I said I should have quit before I did but I just couldn't - it was so fantastic - total comfort food - I thought I went to heaven and died - an Italian restaurant couldn't have been better. As you can see I still love food.... :thumbup: Soy nut for bf 130 - Salad for Lunch 250 - snack popcorn 200 (large bag) dinner 370 - 950 today and I am stuffed - and No I did terrible on my water - maybe one bottle - and will have some before bed. Ok for those who have the tmi #2 problems - I have some chewable caltrate 600 D plus calcium supplements (I know they aren't citrate but I figure I am getting some calcium from these - I do have the citrates but forget to take them in the mornings ) anyway - I have been taking them before (2) bed every night (they taste good I wish the chewable vit tasted as good)- well in the morning I have not been having any problems - were as before I was only going every 2 or 3 days...:cool: Ok this is why I didn't get on the computer when I got home - i get on here and end up 2 hrs are gone - My eyes are tired - so I am headed back to the couch and to bed in a few - so will talk to you all tomorrow.. Sweet Dreams... xoxoxo Janet

Isnt it awsome to feel comfortable enough to go out on a date again. And In my opinion...I think having more then one with different people is awsome that means I am not settling for that jerk that just wanted sex. lol Granted I miss sex but geesh after 4 1/2 years I can wait a little longer...TMI right? sorry But still I want to meet someone I like...and likes me, and go from there. :biggrin2: Oh and I would LOVE to show off the picture of the guy I have a date with this weekend. HOT HOT HOT:drool:

preop-surgery-postop advice
vegasgirl44 replied to LateBloomer's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
LateBloomer! I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post. I thought it was honest and entertaining. I think one of the great things about this site is that we get to read everyone's experiences before, during, and after the band. I just had my psych eval and nutrition visit today--surgeon appointment on the 15th, and God willing, I could have surgery in a few weeks. I have been reading everything I can, copying and pasting notes and lists of things to buy, and loving the whole thrilling process. I appreciate all posts, especially yours. The funny thing is when you talked about your period. I wondered the same thing and you answered the question for me. Many people would consider that TMI, but not me! LOL! I loved your post! Right up my alley, baby! -
Finally have restriction...but is it too much?
ReadySteadyGo replied to travel_anna's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
That we have different opinions, different ideas, but I love this support group because we always express these different ideas in such a respectful manner. That being said. I didn't have a preop diet, and because of that I always forget that people who lost 75 lbs might not have lost it since Feb. and I think. Damn it, whats wrong with MY band. But at the same time, Good for them to be able to lose ANYTHING without being banded. Jaime, Crystal, and all my other VV you are doing amazing. I might be a slower loser, but that gives me the oppurtunity to be inspired by all of you. Thank you so much for continuing to come and post, to speak. I love you guys. I gotta stop typing. I want to cry. I must be about to start my peroid. TMI? I don't care. -

newhope4me replied to TxShtKicker's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just want to agree with kgloverii, the constipation i was not expecting! Constantly I am struggling with this. I eat plenty of fresh veggies, but apparently not enough Water. DRINK YOUR WATER! I already knew how important water is, before i was banded any day that i did not have enough water my fingers would swell, i could tell right away. But now, it is hard for me to get enough water to keep myself regular. (probably TMI, sorry) -
I am going to give it a few more days before I eigh to see if I have lost cause it is TOM and I feel so bloated... TMI, I know....

Lap Band ladies....does this make you hate your boobs??
YoungNy replied to MellyBelle's topic in The Gals' Room
This is TMI, but you asked...I was lying down in bed the other night in a tank top (which I will only wear in the house) anyway, I happened to look down at my boobs which were of course slowing sliding up under my chin and they were wrinkled. Like really wrinkled, it was gross. I decided then that if they don't tighten up by the time I reach my goal, I'll have to get a boob job. I measure them as well (I'm weird I know) in inches all the way around the boob. I've lost 2 inches on the left and 1 1/2 on the right. Yet everywere else, it's only 1/4 of an inch. -
I'm 8 months out and when I was banded back in October, you could get on their website and get a free sample. Maybe TMI :-) Any how, I don't care for their products at all. Everyone has different taste preferences but it's a no for me. Best, Aimee

Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot
angelshere replied to IndioGirl55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Whew! I just spent the past few days with a major stomach bug.... The good news is, I finally lost the rest of the weight I put on not long ago and am back to 289. Between the barfing and the gas and the fever, it was not a fun way to go. I know, TMI! LOL! ElaineC: try tracking everything you eat on Fitday.com or dailyplate.com they help me keep track of protein and calories (I'm still on mushies, too). Also, try to drink lots of water, as soup has a lot of salt in it and can make you retain water (at least it does that to me). Good luck everyone. It is so nice to be able to read all your posts again. You are all helping me stay with this, as I haven't been driving an hour and a half to my doctor's support group (not with gas over $4/gallon!). You are a great support group! Nancy -
Janet I feel you on being bored. This is killing me! All I do is sit here and watch TV. It sucks. I tried to read but my eyes get to tired...just not tired enough to sleep. I haven't been able to get more than about 20 minutes of sleep. The pain is a little worse today, but not by much. I feel like I have done about 300 too many situps. We took the binder off to see what I look like but I am totally covered by a bandage so I won't be able to see anything until the doctor changes the bandages on Monday. We will take pictures at that time. I have been drinking a lot but I am just not hungry. I did get over 1000 calories today and I am hoping to eat a few more in a little while. I just don't have an appetite. I am making sure that all of the foods that I am eating are all high in protein to aid in the healing. The worst part of all the drinking is all the peeing! I swear I am going to the bathroom every half hour! Speaking of which I need to go there now. I know TMI!!!! Steph I am glad to hear that you were not dissapointed with your time. I know that I always get the post run runs!!! I haven't had the issue during the run but I usually have to go right away when I am done running. Alright...enough bathroom talk. I will try to check in later
-
Sorry guys/....just a quick check in....gotta run again.... The shame on me was for drinking v8fusion before the race because half way through I had such a stomach ache and TMI!!!! diarhea and had to make an emergency stop in the bushes..... I'm super proud of the race and the time....just not of the stupidity of what I did before and the aftermath. Going for a bike ride. I'll check in this evening with more details. I am super excited, really. Sorry you are all worried about me. I'm great!!!
-
Karri I am so glad to here that you are doing so well and REALLY happy that you have a great DH... I am not super shy so the going pee-pee in front of DH wouldn't bother me - My Xdh would but hot wash cloths on my hemroids (again tmi) but imho that's what you do for someone you love - to me that's a sign of love..

The pain pump delivers numbing medication directly to the tummy. It doesn't make me groggy, but the vicodin does a little. I doze on and off. I am not eating much. I had 2 half cups of cottage cheese and a protein bar. I just don't have an appetite. I have been drinking though. She was was more concerned about liquids than food today. Tomorrow I will resume a more normal diet but today all she cared is that I ate when I took my antibiotics and that I either had a protein bar or a protein drink. I am resting. I am sitting in my chair with my computer on my now expansive lap and check in every once in a while. I am not a big TV watcher so I get bored just watching TV. I would much rather be reading. I can't do a lot of it cause my eyes start to get droopy but in short bursts I can do just fine. Alright I have to say one more time that I have the BEST DH in the world. The poor man has to go with me when I go to the bathroom and yes...I had to pee in front of him for the first time ever. I know...TMI! But he doesn't even bat an eye. He checks on me regularly but is not overbearing. I think I have the perfect man. He has to empty my drains and doesn't think a thing of it. In fact...I think he likes playing doctor! The fact that he is not working right now makes finances tight but it is very reassuring that he is going to be here with me. Okay enough mushiness from me. I am going to get up and walk. My butt gets sore if I sit too long. And yes...I am allowed to get up and walk every 1.5 to 2 hours.

What are you looking forward to doing?
Gracey replied to Lanakila's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 300 and still do mine. I sit on the couch and rest my foot on the coffee table. I can angle it enough to get all 5 piggies. Even when I was "regular" sized, I never could touch my toes while standing! Conversely, I could do a mean splits...always! Sorry for the TMI but I want to be able to easily wipe my bee-hind! -

Who'sThere replied to Lanakila's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I want to be able to do the following: 1. wear shoes that tie (I don't bother trying to tie shoes anymore) 2. sit anywhere I want whether it be an airplane seat, theater seat, or restaurant booth 3. walk my students to lunch and back without having to basically collapse when I get back (I'm a teacher) 4. buy clothes from the regular stores/departments 5. comfortably get in the backseat of my two door car 6. see my "cat" (sorry if that's TMI) The only reason I don't worry about painting my toenails is that my loving husband has taken care of that task for the past ten years. (I'm such a lucky girl!) -
SEX No port does not get in the way during sex, trust me it is the last thing I am thinking about. In terms of the scar, I have a long standing booty friend (I am talking 10 years) I just told him it was from a hiatal hernia repair. This partly true, since the doc did a hiatal hernia repair at the same time. TMI - I recently got a full brazilian wax, needless to say, I dont think the scar (or my hysterectomy scar) were noticed!!

Hi Edel, Welcome to LBT. Congrats on making your decision to be banded. Three stone by xmas may be possible. I think will take hard work and some exercise. I have lost 3 stone in 4 months (10lb of this on pre-op diet). It def slows down or stops when I'm being lazy. I did have a lot more to lose though. In relation to drink, if your a beer drinker, its bad news. Carbonated drinks are not recommended, they can stretch the pouch. However dont worry about not having a social life, its not a problem. I drink wine or spirits. I dont get drunk though because pre-band, drunk episodes were ALWAYS followed by a bad vomiting session (TMI?) I dont want to take a risk of vomiting as it can lead to a slippage and I just dont like doing it either, but thats just me. I can and do have great nights out and I haven't turned into a water drinking bore. Let me know if you have any more questions. I havent heard any bad stories about Dr. Dillemans. I believe he does bypass as well as band and can push the bypass sometimes. This might just be for higher BMI people though. Elsie

Long, Thank you and sometimes TMI is just what is needed. I hated to bring up that (gasp!) topic, but I guess it is a problem on all liquids. Indio, Thank you. I feel better after reading your words. I did update my ticker, and I gained 4 pounds (I dropped 2 of the 6 I gained). I hope the other 4 and many more, come off soon. I had some SF pudding and will try to up my calories to 800 or 900 (but I worry that might be too high). Oh, and I love Big Medicine, too and can't wait for it to come back on Discovery Health. I always want everyone on the show to succeed and get healthy -- just like we are all trying to do! Nancy -

Great2BThin replied to IndioGirl55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I guess I should be glad there's not much restriction right now. I was just so mad at myself, I mean how could I forget I have a band, for Pete's sake? ridiculous! Now I know what they mean about being mindful when you eat. Also, during my mushie phase, I gained 4 lbs one day and they didn't leave for several days. I was also very constipated. I had taken Colace, Metamucil, and Milk of Magnesia and still no relief. finally got some glycerin suppositories and that did the trick. The nurse at my surgeons office said to now take Colace daily until my 6 week checkup/fill and I've not had a problem since, also I am now on solids so maybe that is helping too. Sorry if TMI.
