AAAWWW, thanks guys. Yup heading into those 40's now!! But never felt better!! I was kinda hoping to just let it slip by, but when I logged on Sunday morning, there it was beside my name......41!!!!!

My family helped me clean up the yard getting ready for fall/winter then we went to DQ for ice cream. I'm not a huge ice cream person, but I LOVE DQ. I had a LARGE choc dip cone. Ate the whole damn thing...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME....LOL:hungry: .

I have a question for you guys.....

Every now and then I get this funny feeling. It's like a mild burning feeling running down. Kinda from the back of my throat to around where I think my band is. Its not in my throat or my stomach. I am not experienced with the feeling. Would it be heartburn? or refulx? or something. What do you guys think? It is not really painful, just a very mild burning sensation.

Thanks

Happy Birthday Cloe! :rolleyes: :humble: :music:

The burning feeling you are having could be acid reflux. Did you try taking an antacid? If it helps, it might help you determine what it could be.

Hey Cloe. I think I remember you saying you've never had heartburn, right? Cause that's what it sounds like. Start taking Tums!

It does sound like heartburn Cloe, try taking Tums when you have it and see if it helps, then you would know for sure.

Thank you for the replies. So last night I took a tums, and yes that seemed to make it subside. So then my next question is...If I never had heartburn before, then how come I have it now. Is my band making me more sensitive? What exactly cause heartburn, should I be watching what I eat?

And thank you again for all the Birthday Wishes!!:(

I'm sure you'd disagree... but most would say you're probably too tight. chocolate, spicy foods, minty things.. can give me heartburn. Not that I don't eat them, but I remember "Oh yeah... that sometimes gives me heartburn when I eat it" afterwards.

I think you should email Dr. Cobourn. I'd say email Marie, but... :(

Just ask him what he thinks of it. You definitely don't want more of a fill, I don't think, if this is happening as is. And you don't want to not tell them that it's happening, cause it *could* cause problems.

Do a search on here for 'heartburn', and I'm sure there'll be many threads telling why it's so bad. (for us)

Hey Cloe,

I'm doing something that you had said you did... with the colourful, shaped Post-It notes...when you were doing Opti-fast. I thought it was such a good idea, I went out and got some, and now on my bedroom wall, I have 29 pink flowers, to mark down the 29lbs I would like to lose before Xmas! (and with each pound, I'm going to take down one (or even a half of one))

Thanks for the idea!

LOL....I have a vision of you plucking a petal of each flower every .0001 pounds.:girl_hug:

BTW, thanks for the info, I started researching heartburn and got some answers. I will cut out a few things and call Dr. C and hopefully get a handle on it. It's only happened a few times and it's definately not real bad, but I don't want it to become a problem either. So, thanks!!

I did actually rip off 0.6 of a flower today! I don't want to round up or down! LOL

Yeah, keep on top of that heartburn. I'm not one to be chastising you or anything, so I hope you don't think I was! I've been getting heartburn now and then for the last couple weeks too. :girl_hug:

Btw, did you get my PM?!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
