Mita

I snack in between meals here at work. I usually eat P&B crackers so it is not to bad. At home when my time is filled there is no time to snack.

Ohh Christina sorry that you are getting sleep deprived. It took me about 3 weeks before I could actually sleep on my tummy but in the mean time what worked for me was putting a pillow on the side of my tummy where the port was and would slowly try to sleep half on my side and tummy and with each night try more to be on my tummy and less on my side. Big T Amazing how we can adapt with the Truck seat I actually would sleep that way at rest stops when we got tired of driving.

Please say a prayer for my family when you read this. First for my nephew Rico, when I was in post op last week he had some kind of attack and almost passed out at the end of my bed. When they put smelling salt under his nose it did nothing to bring him out of the state he was in. He goes to a Specialist today to see if was a mini seizure. Second my Little Brother Chris was admitted to the Hosp Last evening seems they think he has class 2 diabieties. He should be finding out the results sometime this morning. Kinda strange because no one in my mom's side of the family has it. But I know there is always a first. Thank you My LBT Family:)

WOW awesome. Good Luck What kinds of things do you do on these Jobs??

Good News Michelle that you are feeling better.

Glad you are doing well and back at home.

Have not talked with Chris but he has gone down my Mom's she says he seems to be doing fine. He works nights and sleeps days so we never see him. Thanks for asking Kathy:)

A great big Thanks to God and all LBT that prayed for my Nephew. Results are in (negative) on everything. Doc thinks Rico just does not do well in the hosp with the smells and such.. He and my brother are doing fine

I agree with Babs get more Protien in and what is your water intake looking like?? Hopefull once you get more into your body you will feel better.

I cannot say that I have been to the point that I felt discouraged but I have had set backs since last Nov. My problems stemmed from over fill then to unfilled and it all boiled down to Sinus Infections causing havoc with my Stoma. I feel that my band is working for me I just need to keep working with it. Right now I am at .08 cc's and somedays it feels like it is not enough of a fill but then again I have days where it feels just right. For me it's all about listening to my band when I am eating. Hopefully there will be no other set backs or bumps in the road.

I love the warmer weather wish it could last all year round.

Sorry you had to go through that. How are you doing today???

Sending those Prayers out:)

Hi Sam, What kind of meat??? I cannot do KFC Chicken or Fried Chicken but I can do Chicken in soups, Salad or Baked. Could it be the way it is prepared???

Sending prayers that you are feeling better today...

Today is a new day and you can get back on track. Incorperate More solid Protien at everymeal.

Wow - Never in my wildest dreams could I have walked that long, but I am pretty glad I did it. It was the Relay for life Cancer walk here in my hometown. I took 2 - 15 min breaks and wow when I was done it just blew me away that I could do it since b4 the surgery my knees were so bad I could only walk half a block and of couse be huffing and puffing from the Asthma attack I was bound to have. I carried my inhalers with me just in case but only had to use them once. I Thank My band for a whole new lease on life. Ladies and Men remember check those breast!!

First let me say that NO Dr. Should make anyone who comes to see them feel like an idiot. It should be your choice Broker do what is best for you and what makes you feel comfortable. I agree with Kathy change docs he is working for you!!! And Welcome to LBT continue to do your research so that you feel comfortable and have alot of info to back you up if you continue to see this doc. That way you can knock his socks off when he tries to persuade you to go the other route.

Welcome Charlie, Enjoy the site it is very imformative and alot of great people:)

Wow don't know what else. The Phenergren I had was a pill I thought maybe that is what you were taking. Second choice would still be to call and get something else. I am sure you have already tried the craker thing?? Other than that sorry no help here just see what the Assistant can tell you. Hope you get some relief. I have tried baby Percy and that has worked wonders for me on that end.

I have heard of some medication that comes in Suppository form for vomiting. Call your doc and see if they can get you some.. Sorry your so sick:(

That is awesome.

I've heard that is itching is a sign of healing.. I had that around my insicions and it went away after a few days. How are you doing other than that??

I drank Boost shakes in the begining and still do if I am out and about and do not have time for a meal.

Call back and talk to the Office Manager no one answering the phone should talk to any client like she as done with you. Or better yet give me the phone number I will put her in her place.
