Reno or N. Nevada Bandsters out there???

[NVgirl 2]

Hello! How is everyone doing? :biggrin1:

Surgery is three weeks from tomorrow and frankly, can't think about much else!

NVgirl:

Please come by my office and pick up 2-3 "FREE" unopened containers of baratric powder. I ordered extra because I needed to have some on hand and I just can't take another swallow of that stuff.

I can't remember; are you local?

Seriously? That's terribly generous!

I just received one of each of the three flavors, but I know that won't be enough to get me through, just didn't want to take the financial hit all out of one paycheck!

Where do you work?

I have 4 brand new vanilla and chocolate and then a couple opened ones. Please come take them I hate to throw away and I will just wait until they are a couple years old and then throw them away.

I work at

All Occasion Rentals

5301 Longley Lane #B40

Reno,

775-828-4999

Near the corner of Longley and McCarran

across from Gold's Gym

We are here today till 1pm

You can add flavor that you can buy at Smart and final to the vanilla flavor to make it any flavor you want.

You will see after weeks of this stuff you will never want to drink it again either; it is not that it is "bad" it just has its own purpose (to prepare you for surgery).

I prefer the canned slim fast even though it has more surgar in it I like it better because I was not TOLD to drink it.

Pam,

I can't get out there today - I've got a dog that's not feeling well after some shots yesterday and I don't want to leave him alone. Is there a day in the upcoming week that works better for you?

Call anytime and let me know when you can come over

well, we are back from Oregon. I ended up gaining a ton of weight, but thats what happens i guess.

Went in for my first fill today, super easy with no problems. Looks like I had 1cc of dye in and she put one more on top of that. I went home and had some split pea Soup and didn't have any issues. I am eating some yougurt right now, and can tell if I take too big of a bite, so I guess that is good.

How is everyone else doing??

Chris;

Same with me had 1 cc of die and they added 1 cc.

Did you have to answer an qualifying questions for the fill or did the nurse have an understanding that you were getting a fill?

Did she indicate IF you would feel any restriction from this fill? Did she tell you how big of a band you have?

[drtnsnw 0]

didn't have to answer anything except that silly questionare I get before every appt. Just went in and they filled it up. they are making me wait another 6 weeks for my next fill, so we will see how this one is. She did tell me I had the 10cc band

Same here. I as well have the 10 cc band and she told me; that means it will hold 5 cc's and this probably will be the biggest fill and each subsequent fill will be smaller and it most likely take me a couple fills before I feel restriction.

Tell me, do you "ever" get "full"?

How were you eating so different that you gained weight? In Oregon were your portion sizes bigger. What do you think was so different? Just not having a fill and no self control? I know if I was on vacation I would gain weight because I was not in a "controlled" atmosphere, and I am a volume eater.

I can't wait until my next fill.

Good Morning everyone

I had my 1st fill on Tuesday. Pretty much stayed with liquids and Soups. Just now, this morning, I ate a little bit of left over omelet from this weekend. I wasn't able to eat more that about 1/2 cup. I feel full but I have been burping (not PB) and listening to my "other" stomach growl like heck. I am dieing to have a drink but am trying to hold off. Michelle did my fill and made the comment that I could possibly get restriction from just one fill. That would be nice but I would be surprised! I am still pretty much holding steady on the weight loss not gaining, not losing.

Very excited about my trip next week.

Chris, we got our truck back from being made into a dually flatbed. My DH wants to put some chrome stacks on it and a few other tweaks, I will send you a picture soon. He loves it. Except for the running boards they cost $585 and he thinks they look a little "inexpensive."

Hi Pam!

FLATBEDS ROCK!!!!

Pam, It was a 4 day party we do every year. It is the roundup and brand at my uncles ranch and I just ate and drank way to much the whole time. Kinda grazing the entire weekend and drinking.

THANK GOD FOR FILLS!!!!

I am finally back on the right track! I am back down to where I was before my Oregon trip. At my lowest weight so far. I M PRETTY SURE i CAN STILL USE MORE, but at least I am dropping again.

How is everyone doing.

Chris

[Success in lapband 0]

Chris RIGHT ON!

So in reality you did not gain THAT MUCH!

Can you tell you had a fill, obviously you are eating less because you lost weight, but what other symptoms do you have that you had a fill?

Hey did anyone elsae go to the fashion show lastnight? I though it was fantastic! My goal is to be in it next year. I only have 98 pounds left to go, I know I can do it!

I don't think that my first fill has been very succsessfull. I am not feeling any restriction and I can still eat 1 cup at any given meal. So I go in again on May 15 for my second fill and we will see how that one goes.

It sounds like you are all doing really well. You should all be proud of yourselves. I am going to make more of an effort to get on here more often and talk with you all. You all sound like you have become very close and I miss talking to you all.

How is everyones workingout routine going? Mine is going pretty well. I go to the Sanctuary a few times a week, and I really need to get back in the habit of going back to Gold's.

Does anyone know when Trader Joes in Sparks opens up? I cant wait to go there. I am hoping it will be bigger then the one in Reno. My mom says the one in Carson is twice the size of the Reno store. So I guess we will see!

Well I hope that you all have a really nice weekend, and I will talk to you all soon.
