Oh my goodness, why isn't he using sterile technique?? He's cleaning your stomach with his bare hand? Touching the needle with his hand? What am I missing here???

What, are you crazy? And give up the hams, fried onions, pork chops, briskets, taffy, steak, etc.? I'll go into starvation mode! However, the sodas sound like an excellent idea! I'll try that, thanks!

Nobody in the history of banding EVER asks these questions so I jus' gotta know!

IOW... we dodge truth in favor of, "You go girlie!!"??

And yet ANOTHER problem! I have only lost 786 pounds and I'm two weeks out of surgery. I think the sleeve is failing me, or I'm failing the sleeve. When is weight loss going to hurry??

Okay, new problem folks. My doctor just called and told me no more Dew. I swear! I will LITERALLY DIE if I can't have my dew! I will be dead as in dead in a casket if I can't have my Dew. By morning you will find me limp, pale, going through withdrawal, and then I will LITERALLY die! (sigh)

Nonono... I chewed it up really good so it's okay!

Heck no! According to many posts I have read here you'll be just fine! I'll trade you a ham for the brownies.... And no, nobody else in the history of banding has ever been in the same situation. ;o)

Two triples sounds about right to me. I'll just chew really well. ;o) Elenation: I did kinda hear some ripping and popping sounds from my stomach but I'm sure it will be okay. ;o)

The tall, dark, and handsome thing???? LOL!! I helped with the round things. ;o) (Let 'em guess!)

Was I supposed to do that???? I heard about the sleeve, got it done, then decided to research it by finding out what YOUR doctor suggests! I am in the mood for a double big mac....

Nonono... no cute little furry lambs here. My rabbit wouldn't appreciate me bringing "ahem" rabbit in the house to munch on, wouldn't anyway. Outback, yes.... I'm getting my onions confused. I'm so weak from hunger that I can't keep 'em straight! I think I need a couple more hams! My doctor said to drink SIX gallons of WINE in 30 minutes, I'm just sure that is what he said to do. ;o) Or maybe it was 6oz of water an hour. Nooo, I'm pretty sure it was six gallons of wine every 30 minutes.

I don't have any lamb, I ate all the hams, potatoes, blooming onions, ... suffice it to say, I have a couple of chicken and some taffy leftover. I'M STARVING! I am just SURE I will die if I can't eat food and lots of it! Oh, I have some Pasta. Want some of that? I have two loaves of soft white bread. Yummmmm

Not soon enough!!!! I'm going on a carb frenzy! Okay, maybe not but Southern Fried Chicken... Yummmmmmmmmmmm Thanks for the nice words!

You live really close to the OP of this thread, Lucky. We should all meet for lunch one of these days and you can buy me that glass of ice Water. ;o)

Reflux can be a problem for some people. It is for most right out of surgery. Some have to take a PPI for 2 weeks to 3 months. She should see a doc, that's not normal for a sleeve.

Sue, you are such a generous soul! What if I want TWO glasses of ice water and what if I can do hotter than 114(F)? You have to come to dinner with Denise and I in August when I WON'T get stuck! (I can't wait to not get stuck and on SOLIDS too!)

HAHA! My x-port still hurts when I laugh! STOP THAT!

Nawww, not silly. Just HUNGRY! ;o))) Sarah: In about 20 minutes. They did say to eat my meals in 20 minutes. The two hams were hard to get down, but I managed. BrownBear: Ohhhhh, but the gas pains were so enjoyable! I plan on doing it again today because my friend's mother's sister's hair stylest said her brother's fiance's little sister's doctor said it was okay. But, but... but! I'm SLEEVED! I'm not supposed to get stuck anymore! My sleeved stomach is the size of a man's middle finger, that should be big enough. Shouldn't it? Did I stretch my sleeve? OMZ, should I go to the ER? Jaymie: Oh heaven's no! I already know what my doctor would say, I want to know what YOUR doctor would say! I lost a pound, heh... 125 to 124. :tongue: Gloucester: Do you think 864gms of protein in one day is enough? Maybe I should consume more, and all at once too! You know, just to be safe. I feel better, if you did well then I will do well too! Pix: Whew! I was worried about that 'ol staple line but now I know it's okay. It will hold up against ANYTHING! Hey, will you share some of your beef brisket? I don't have any of that. I'll trade you a chicken for some, what do you say? Ohhhh, I still have some taffy left. I hear that is just wonderful for banded folks.

My last meal before my band was a steak, garlic mashed potatoes, and long green things that I didn't eat. (gahh) Last meal before my sleeve was onion Soup. I think I got cheated on the last one.

Oh good, I was worried I'd bust out my staple line. But I'm sure since someone else's doctor said it is okay for them, it is okay for me. Now, I have to confess, I also drank a case of Dew, 3 Liters of wine, a gallon of something, not sure what it was, a blooming onion from Chilis, 3 burgers (no pickle) with onion rings, the "tour of Italy" from Olive Garden, and a big mac with my broth. That's okay on clears, right? I mean, your doctor said it was okay. I did kinda feel something pop and rip, I have a burning pain in my stomach, what's up with that?

Would that be the leather type?

I love love love your attitude! That is the attitude I should have taken a few weeks ago. Thank you SO much!

HAHAHA! That's a sign of a true friend! Went to dinner w/Denise's Dad and I ordered Prime Rib. First bite I got stuck and started sliming. I had to go outside to walk around the parking lot to get unstuck. Denise came out and walked with me and never once complained about the AZ desert heat! Now, THAT is a friend! I don't recall how we explained it to your Dad, I just recall he was cool about it. My dogs loved the prime rib, btw.

Thanks, HC! I'm getting more and more excited about my sleeve with each passing day. I wasn't sure about doing it at first, now I'm glad I did. Can't wait for that chicken wing! ;o) I figure it will fill me up for at least ... two years considering I have no Ghrelin! HA
