Ok guys... You ever find yourself quietly whispering to yourself "band, I love you" and then smile??!! Let's share a lovey dovey moment we've experienced.....I just came back from an 8 day cruise (as some of you know)...

I only gained an itsy 1.8 pounds!!!! Pre-band I would've packed on 7-9 lbs surrounded by chocolate fountains and mid night buffets!!!

I love my band ,(gertrude), but she's in Mexico right now, we will be united on August 28th! I can hardly wait to get started on my wt. loss journey. Time is going by slow for me while waiting... I leave out on August 27th for San Diego, and will be banded the next day. I will love my band & try to take good care of it.

JennyBee...lol... youre funny. no .. i havent done that but im deeply appreciative just the same. im really impressed by the minimal weight gain you had on your cruise. can you give me some tips? im cruising with our young grand daughter...aged 15. she doesnt know im banded and i dont want to tell her either... so what did you do to keep the weight gain to a minimum? did you have a slight unfill before you went?

For me I appreciate it most when I feel like I've lost some weight even though I didn't step on a scale to confirm. Kind of like that empty feeling in your stomach but not like hunger. Not sure if that makes sense.

Jim... Yes I know EXACTLY what you mean!

Judy... For Breakfast I would have a veggie omelet w/cheese (maybe 3/4 or so of it)

Or coldcuts, cheese, and fruits.

lunch was something simple... Maybe a small salad or pita chips with hummus from the pool side buffet.

dinner was the best... Whatever they were serving at the sit down dinner that night, (steak,fish,lobster,shrimp) w/baked potato and veggies. They always had a "diet" dessert to choose.

Have a great time!!!!

Oh yeah... No, I did not have an unfill... I was sooo grateful to feel the restriction and tightness:)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
