Nana~

Welcome to LBT!

PinkMary that sound loverly! I love Greek salads minus the lettuce lol so this is right up my alley!

"MY" Dr doesn't want me to take any fat burning weight loss pills etc. He says I need to change my habits not fall back into snacking and pill taking to lose weight.

My husband came home from work once with a gross story about one of the guys he works with. He said the guy went to the bathroom and about 20 min. later came back and told him he thinks he lost 5 pounds and went on to tell him how he weighs himself before and after a BM...GROSS!!! Why would you tell your boss this?!?

Oh man, best of luck to you! This is exactly what Im afraid will happen to me on my visit to FL the next 2 weeks I just got a fill last week.

We have children no pets

I did! in at 7am headed home at 5:30 pm

Happy Birth Day!!

Oh man thats is terrible! Im so sorry to hear that happened to you, and your hubby

Hubby had his Dr apt today, Our family Dr. said yup thats what it sounds like and yup it can cause high blood pressure his heart never rests. He has a apt w/ Dr when we get back into town to pick up a home sleep test. Atleast thats what the Dr said, we are actually seeing another Dr. So we'll find out! Thanks so much guys I feel much better knowing he's going in to be seen!

I'd call my Dr in the morning, "My" dr says if I can drink liquids I'm okay. However pbing at every meal is not good it causes swelling and can close you off completely. If "I" were you I'd call my Dr. in the morning and do a full day of liquids maybe 2 to let my tummy heal from the irritation of pbing so much. I've been completly closed of twice it sucks REALLY SUCKS, please be careful. Your fill seems like a big jump to me, you may need to ask about taking out a cc or 2 if you continue to pb at every meal, againCALL THE Doc! Please

Can you do liquids and mushies? Do you pb on them? I'd ask the nurse at your Dr. office for advice. I was too tight so tight could not swallow my own spit, it almost put me in the er. The ticker you have to go and make a new one with your new stats.

I get gas too,but I had bad gas pre banding too, it runs in my family lol so does diverticulitis! When its painful I take gasx, I want to try beano but have not yet. Otherwise my family are use to explosive women

I think they are PRE op the liquid diet before surgery.

Curvenetics Lip Conditioner exercise · Sit with your body straight, shoulders relaxed and head tilted slightly. · Purse your lips and move them to the right a quarter of an inch ten times. · Repeat to the left ten times. · This exercise smooths the lines between the nose and mouth. And keeps the lips looking full. · Don't move your head. Don't squint. Don't wrinkle face Correcting Flabbiness Under Chin Step 1 Lift chin slightly upward. Step 2 With flat point of index and middle fingers press against indentation (hollow) formed by the two upper nodules of the larynx located at the curve from chin to neck. Do not be concerned in the beginning as to the precise location of pressure which you will discover through practice. Regard finger pressure as the resistance against the working muscles. Step 3 Now press your back teeth firmly together * and while maintaining this position. Step 4 Press the tip of your tongue against the inside of lower front teeth (gum line) increasing pressure with the tip of tongue ** in 10 or more gradual and definite steps (Count to 10). Step 5 Hold end position of pressure for 6 seconds (count slowly to six). Step 6 Release muscle work for 10 gradual steps (count to 10). Step 7 Remove finger resistance. Repeat 4 more times. Also I found this site that looks like it has some good face workouts http://www.carolynsfacialfitness.com/Sample%20Exercise.html

No it wont be that bad once you get back to at least mushies. It's up to your Dr. but the day of my surgery my Dr didn't have me do any "Clear" liquids I went straight to liquids~Cream of chicken soup was my savior! I ate jello,pudding and runny potato's cooked w/ chicken broth. On mushiesI ate re fried beans and mashed potato's and chopped beef in a blender with BBQ sauce!

hehe, well my old name Nana~ was a nick name from my Father. I posted in the other thread about that~ My New name well I really love all things Pirate in a video game my family plays I am Asgardia the "Pirate Princess" my sister in-law is the "Pirate Queen" founder of our guild "The dread sexy Pirates" Anyhoo, Theres a site I LOVE called http://www.piratemod.com/ They have a shirt called "Plunder bunny" its super cute and I would LOVE to own one! I like to plunder village and Raid! hehe NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH "SLUMBER BUNNY" I'm told my new name brought giggles when someone read it and thought I named myself after the Slumber party adult novelty! LOL The only thing I don't like about my new name is my initials are P.B! I went to sign a post and was oh no I will not sign my posts "P.B" ugh! LOL

Now that Summer is here people will be out traveling. I thought it might be good to have a list of good healthy places to eat on the run. List your favorite place to eat while on vacation sit down or fast food, and your healthy recomended meal. Or if your like us and pack a cooler for most of your travel meals, what kind of healthy car travel foods do you take along?

OKIES GUYS! We leave on Monday night to my Mothers house in FL! I've got new travel food issues LOL I got my fill and I'm scared to eat real food now! Real as in meats steak pork chicken breast etc. The last 2 fills prior to this on have been way too tight and I had to have an unfill..So I'm nervous about traveling afraid I'll eat something that makes me Pb or get ill I'll swell up and 1) have to be on liquids my whole trip or 2) have to go to the ER and get an unfill by someone other than my DR! Today is the 3rd day after my fill so far so good guess I'm just nervous..I've had 1 day of liquids (cream of chicken soup, jello, and water) then I had one day of mushies (Refried beans, potato soup, and jello) and today I've had (potato soup left overs lol,and 1 slice of boiled ham lunch meat) I've not got sick on anything and my mom says she'll make things I can eat but I hate being a pain in the ARS when theres 10 people eating. Oh man... I'm prob. just getting overly worked up.. Right now Taco bell pintos and cheese sounds like it going to be my travel food.. I need good ideas on things I can maybe make at home to take, I was thinking beef jerky but not now! We'll be in the truck for Dinner, Breakfast,lunch,and maybe another Dinner. The kiddo's will want snacks and I know I will too.

I was thinking of trying that trim spa, mainly for the energy diet pills like that give me a kick of energy, energy that I have been recently lacking...Now some of them can make me jittery and I don't like that feeling at all... I'll try it and see I also deal with head hunger..Like last night we rented a movie on the TV and I wanted popcorn we didn't have any and it just about drove me crazy watching a movie with out eating something...Talk about habits I need to break! UGG...

WOOT!!! Welcome Back! Missed ya!

Congrats!!

Congrats! Let us know how you are doing as soon as you feel up to it! Hugs!

Welcome to LBT! Im about to be in FL visiting my Mother who lives in Dunnellon Fl, we go to Ocala alot when I'm there and my mom is very excited about your new "Hobby Lobby" ya'll got She loved the one here in Tx. Mom mom is thinking about getting this surgery too but having INS coverage issues.

Dry chicken chokes me up too, I'm just tossing this out here because I just had an apt. w/ my Dr. I told him about my Pb's episodes and he asked me how long it took me to eat? I said I eat about 1 cup in 15 min. He said that was WAY too fast my meals should be 30 min. long and my bites should me no bigger than a nickel! Okay so that put a whole new spin on the way I eat! Cause I chew chew chew by my bites are so much bigger than a nickel! I've taken his advice and have not had a PB in the last month! (Knock on wood)
