I just found out my surgery will be in July (granted my pre-op testing goes okay) SOOOOOOOOO

Here's a thread for everyone getting banded in July 07!

Does anyone have any good ideas for a neat name we could call ourselves?

Kathy- I used to have the worst neck pain and headaches ever. I took excedrin every day for years. Then I went to the chiropractor and in 2 weeks I was cured! No more excedrins for me.

Lynette- I can't wait until I can eat mushies to try out your recipes. Yummy!

Dmjet- we have not hit a 100o degree day here in TX. Hottest we've had was 93. Amazing, PA is now warmer than TX!

Gladster12- my dr. said I can do it when I feel like it. Right now I think it will be a while, my tummy is sore and super un-sexy with all these bandages.

Hi everyone! Didn't go to the movie after all. We went to lunch at Chili's and I got an order of plain mashed potatoes and picked on that. DH got the chicken tenders, and I had a couple of nibbles of one and it was delicious. Tonight, I ate one of his left over tenders, very, very slowly, no problems.

As to sex, the hospital literature says something like at your own comfort level. Well, this afternoon, me and my DH got comfortable and everything worked JUST fine! So, that hurdle is past.

As a reminder, my band date was 7/16.

All seems to be going fine! Good night everyone!

Oh and to whoever asked, the bad breath is due to the protein and ketosis, I think it is called. It too will pass...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Can you believe how weird the weather is??? We had one day at that temp ... the rest have been low to mid 70's. Lows at nights in 40s and 50s. Just bizarre!!! I KNOW it will be hot and humid when I go back to school!!! Always does!!!! Just stinks!!!

Brandy,

Glad you got "comfortable" with your Honey, lol!!!! Nice to know everything works, how 'bout it? I still get a little nervous, because if he puts pressure on my upper abdomen, I get pressure in my chest from the port!!! Doesn't feel too swift!!!!

My husband had a knee replacement this past Weds. so I haven't been posting. I was very gassy and bloated until yesterday ( I was banded on 7/17). As of Thursday I've lost 14 lbs. so I'm pretty thrilled. Don't yet feel I can get into full exercise mode yet. How are others doing? Anyone exercising yet?

oh my lord i wish it could be my b-day everyday i love all the b-day wishes! i'm just leaving work. i'll be back on soon just driving home. THANK YOU EVERYONE!

We always go to Starbucks after church on Sunday, but won't be going to church tomorrow as I'm not up to taking the two kids alone and the DH and my brother are putting the finishing touches on the kitchen. So we took the kids to Starbucks tonight... my son is so obsessive!!!

So after we went to walmart for a few things and I felt much better walking around. Still really slow, but not as achy as before. Also, my neck stiffness is receeding.

I do often suffer from stiff neck and migranes. I see a chiropractor monthly, which has helped a lot. I think this one was caused by the position I was in during surgery and the anesthetic.

Kids are now in bed, and I'm relaxing. No hunger, just head hunger. I'd love to eat a bunch of chips or something... but drinking my juice is more than enough to fill me up.

Dini, Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday Dini sweety, happy birthday to you!!!

24 is going to be your year!!!! Life hasn't passed you by, you just have been stuck and unable to jump on board. Now you're ready to grab hold and make it everything you want it to be. Your first step was deciding to do this for yourself.

Kathy,

I am so glad you are feeling better this evening! I love Starbucks too!!! Bit too many calories though, lol!!! I could really go for one though, lol!

I love the coffee. In fact, we buy the beans and brew it at home. I can't wait until Monday when I can have my first coffee.

My DH loves the mochachino.

I posted another soup recipe on our recipe thread. This one is for butternut squash soup.

Goodnight everyone. Jeanie, thanks for the extra support. I really appreciate it. BTW, I feel your swimming pain. I'd absolutely love to have a pool, and if I did, I'd be really pissed if the pump broke and I couldn't go in. Make sure the DH of yours fixes it a.s.a.p.

Hey everyone!! I have a question.. my Dr. moved me to mushies on Thursday and i have had mashed potatos and was thinking of having scrambled eggs tonight but i feel scared! LoL Did anyone else have problems with eggs?
