Hello there Band fans....I got banded March 28th-2007.

I told myself....Bycyling would be a very good choice. Fresh air, muscles working for the sake of "Cardio". After one week passed--in April. I purchased three new bikes for me and my two sons. I have defeated many things doing that. No more not riding with my children--we ride as a crew (family). We could not conquer the hill on my street. We used to stop 3 to 4 times before getting to the top ( I did). So now the wheels have turned. My kids ask me---"Daddy can we stop--our legs are burning". Thank God I am doing well now. Now with 21 pounds gone---but just riding bikes. I am ready for the next Journey...The 1st fill--I am looking forward to the next 4 to 6 weeks--maybe 12 or 20 pounds gone...who knows...:faint: this is how I feel on many days after my ride. Today--(8.5 miles) It was walking, riding around the fair in my town--but that is what my speedometer said when it was all over...

Before my phone decided to be an asshole earlier I was saying that I just recently started listening to country so I don't know the dances.

But I could be some excellent eye candy for the ladies.

And Dan almost peed his pants when I told him what we were doing.

J - Today I had a protein shake for breakfast, 1/2 fiber one bar for snack, a handful of raw soy nuts for lunch, the other 1/2 of fiber opne bar for snack. Then I stpped on my way home to buy the Omeprazole and got a pint of plain vanilla ice cream hoping that would help my heartburn! And that is all I have eaten.

I never eat anything with onions, etc. Lol. I used to love hot stuff, like the buffalo sauce and stuff, but since the beginning of the band I haven't tolerated that stuff.

Anyone ever heard of flat Stanley? It is a book and my daughters class is doing a project on it. Here is a link to read about it if you have not heard of it. Flat Stanley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia They want each student to send out Flat Stanley to 5 different people. Would anyone like to participate? If you want to participate you would get to host Stanley for a few days and then send him back with a note telling about his adventures while he was with you. You can include brochures, photos, postcards, etc regarding his visit. My daughter would really appreciate help in this project and we would be providing all the stamps, envelopes and such. All we need is your time.

Let me know if you are interested. Thanks!

Sounds very coo BG! I'll do it!

Of course we'll host Flat Stanley and Buckeye junk it up for yous.

Sweet I will put you both on the list.

SUZZIE!!

Same thing happened to my wife! She was having heartburn and reflux every night...GO SEE YOUR DOC! My wife was tooo tight andhad to have a total unfill for 2 weeks to let it heal! You could cause errosiion if you dont seem your band doc!

She got a fill again now but she was very afraid to get total unfill. But YOU GOTTA go!!! You dont want to mess up your band.

ZZ,

I WYD said what I was thinking. Girl, you could do some damage if you don't get this looked at. BG had to get a slight unfil this past winter too.

Don't tough it out. You could hurt yourself. You're a nurse, be a patient. (did I spell that right?).

Hi everyone! I GOT MY BAND!!!! I am still at the hospital, waiting for my doctor to come in and discharge me home. I'm a little painful at the port site, but what's worse is the itching I got from the Scopalamine patch (a little tiny patch behind the ear to ward of nausea). They've been feeding me Benadryl for hours now. Other than that I'm doing great! I got to see my band on fluoro....That was pretty neat!

I'll talk to you all later!
