Was anyone banded in December of '06?
Oregondaisy replied to thebionicbroad's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
That's really good news Maurdan! The right fill makes a huge difference. -
My last fill has made a huge difference. I don't want to snack because I always feel so full. I eat a tiny bit of food and I am full. I love it. If you think you can eat too much, maybe you need a fill.

I was overfilled and it was miserable. I was throwing up in my sleep. I stayed on liquids only until I could get an unfill. I lost 8 lbs in a week. That's the only good thing that came out of it. I had egg flower soup every day.

A thread for Single Bandsters
Oregondaisy replied to NewBeginnings2018's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Way to go JC! I am glad to hear it was nice. I joined E Harmony. They were running a special. It's a good thing because I think they are way too expensive. I had my daughter and another friend take some pictures of me. I didn't like any of them. I think I still look really fat. My friend and I are working on lighting, and colors, and I think eventually we will get a picture I can live with. She seems better with a camera than my daughter. Manatee, those people are the ones that really can keep our insecurity going. I am glad you seem like it didn't affect you. -
That's a really good idea. Maybe if you write a letter, they will send you a coupon for something free. I have written letters when I had bad service, and was sent gift certificates for free meals, merchandise, etc.

I think all the young people who are getting their bands are really lucky. I wish I had known about this years ago. -

I am doing great. I hope I don't go on anymore big long plateaus, but I don't think I will, now that I am just not as hungry as I was. I really don't know how much more I want to lose, but I am sure I will know when I get there. I hate that the more I lose, the more my face looks saggy. -
Thanks Laurend! I am going to order some stuff from there. It all looks good!
-
So you're up and not falling asleep anymore? Give me a call! You have free long distance and I don't . Maybe I should have put this in a pm, but you told me sometimes you forget to look at your pms. I have something I want to talk to you about.

So where is the link? I need some peanut butter in my shakes too!

I am basically a bum. I work 12 hours a week for an attorney. The rest of the time, I just goof around.

After living in both Chicago and spending a lot of time in the Arizona winters, I certainly agree that Arizona winters are so beautiful. I wish I could be a snow bird. Someday..........

Yes, when you have a good fill, there is no hunger. I really can't believe the difference.
-
Yea, those two don't mix. I am a slow loser, but I am sure I would be a non loser if I didn't exercise. I seriously have discovered that I only lose if I stick with 800 calories a day or less plus exercise. I have a really slow metabolism.

My 4th fill made a huge difference for me. I've lost 10 lbs since I got the fill at the beginning of Sept. It's great to finally feel really full all the time and not be interested in food. I hope it lasts!

How is weight loss for people over 50?
Oregondaisy replied to debi717's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I think that they have come up with better things for the prep. Mine wasn't bad. It was a tiny bottle of something that was ginger flavored so i mixed it ginger ale. It was easy to get down. Not fun sitting in the bathroom all day though. I don't know where Green is. I am anxious to hear about it too. -

Post-op: How long until you progressed to solid food?
Oregondaisy replied to Constance's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I had one day clear liquid, 4 weeks full liquid, 2 weeks mushy, then solid food but no beef for 2 more weeks. -
Something all bandsters need!!! A MUST HAVE!!!
Oregondaisy replied to bigbaby's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am glad to know about the vinegar and oil. Twice now, I have thrown up what was stuck, but kept throwing up foam for a couple of hours. I always look in it to see if some particle of food was actually stuck, but it's just watery foam. I would love to get that stopped. Sometimes aftera pb, my mouth waters for a couple of hours. I hate it! -
I want to know why after whatever is stuck comes up, why do we keep throwing up slime. I know there is nothing but water/slime coming up. It will go on for a couple of hours after I have gotten rid of whatever is stuck. I would also like to know something about taking pills. Sometimes, I try to take medication with a lot of Water.I try to drink a lot so the pill isn't sitting in my pouch. Sometimes, it just doesn't work. I will throw the water up. But I don't see the pill. Is this water in my pouch, or is it coming from my stomach. I wonder if the pill dissolves.

A thread for Single Bandsters
Oregondaisy replied to NewBeginnings2018's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks. That's my plan. I just don't even know if it will get to that point. For all I know, he is online all evening long, looking at more profiles. I just feel like it's too early to be asking him questions like that. I would like to try a relationship with this person, but right now it just feels like waiting around and see if he wants t hat too. -

I am on the coast, about 100 miles north of California. Are there snakes here? Where are you in Oregon???? -

Thanks April. I am wondering how sex plays into all of this. I can just look at him as someone to have a good time with, but sex will become an issue. I told him I am not into sex for recreational reasons. I need help here. My body would have liked to do more, but my head and heart put the brakes on it. -

I am still at a fine line as to what I can eat and what not, since my last fill. I have thrown up way more since my 4th fill and I hate it. I have to remember to eat really slowly. I think that's my problem.
