Oregondaisy

The first time I ever threw up was the day after my first fill. I tried to take my medications like I normally did, and I was surprised when they wouldn't go down, and finally came back up.

There is a horrible virus going around too. I spent one entire night running to the bathroom. Everyone I know has had it.

The important thing about carbs is to have the right ones. Do you know about the gylcemic index?

So what is it? It's like a bean sprout or what?

I agree. Go on the date and see how it goes. If he knows you have had surgery, he should know you are in the process of losing more weight. Has he seen your picture? That's the main thing. I am a firm believer that I won't see anyone until I have seen their picture. I want them to see mine too. I don't like surprises.

I suggest you put this question on the main page under lap band support. You will probably get more responses and the question really doesn't apply to Lab Band Forum suggestions.

I hope Alyson gives us an update pretty soon. I hate having things stuck It's so uncomfortable. I can't even imagine having gum stuck for this long!

We need to do what we can to keep this thread front and center. I love this thread. I love to hear how everyone is doing. Our Chrispy who started this thread has a steady boyfriend right now! I had a date with someone from online. We had been emailing for a couple of weeks. The next day after we met, I got an email saying he didn't feel any chemistry. I didn't either, but I was willing to see him a couple more times to see if anything could develop. What do you guys think? Does there have to be chemistry the moment you meet, or can attraction grow within a few dates?

What is this stuff and where do you find it?

Christy, What did you do to change your exercise? I have been on a plateau too and I don't know how to get the scale moving again. What did you do differently to drop another 5 lbs?

Thank you Alex. I don't know what we would do without you! You are so great to take care of all of us!

Yes, I take progesterone at night. It's a big yellow capsule. I take it with a big glass of warm almost hot water every night.

I am definitely going to try that. It sounds so yummy! Thanks!

Are you Greek? I am wondering where you are getting Dolmades? I am Greek. I am going to see my dad in Arizona next month and my mouth is watering thinking about them. I am wondering if the leaf is going to get stuck. I have a tight fill now. Where are you getting all this Greek food?

Try warm liquid. Warm will open the band. Try warm herbal tea, warm water, etc.

I have a pretty tight fill and I take pills. I take them with warm ( almost hot) Water. Warm water will open the band. I take on with a lot of water then wait awhile and take the next one. I take 9( prescriptions, Vitamins, supplements) in the morning and about 5 in the evening. If I try to take one and then another one without waiting long enough in between, I have problems.

Ghost, Where do you get this low carb pudding? It's low carb and high Protein? I am guessing it's not something you can buy in the store. Do you order it online? I am glad I hate coffee!

I was just thinking that I need to get serious or I will never lose anymore. My band is working. It keeps me from eating large portions. I wish the bad food would get stuck. I do pretty well for a few days then go nuts eating candy or something equally as horrible. I need to change my thinking and remember why I got the band. I got it to lose all the weight I wanted, and I can do it, if I remember that when temptations are around.

Alex, can you change my user name to AthinnerDenise I can't find anywhere on the user CP where it says change user name. I don't like that it was so easy to find all my posts with google. Those numbers after my name are easy to identify which Denise I am and I don't like that. thanks!

There are a lot of people that have the same thoughts as you. There was a thread about it, but I can't remember what it was titled to find it. It's hard when you are close to goal. I was just thinking that I know what I need to do, but now that I am so close, it's easy to think that this is good enough. I have to find my motivation to lose this last 10 lbs!

Nice post Karri! More of the newer bandsters should be thinking like you!

:welldoneclap:I love muscle milk. I think it's the best of the ready to drink Protein drinks. I am glad you're getting better. Keep us posted on how you're doing!

We have all been worried about you! I am so glad to see you here posting! I don't have the answer to the question you're asking, but I am so glad you here to ask away. What does your doc say about getting an unfill?

Lock it Alex. We have a new one that you started for us off the main page. We shouldn't have two going. Refer everyone to look on the main page.

There is a new thread started for those of us over 50. It's on the main page. We really should only have one thread going for those of us over 50.
