    Holy Cr@p that hurt

    I am also a slow learner. For me it was Red Velvet cake. I tried it twice PBing both times. Cake and bread just do not go down for me, but I still try now and again. JP

    My trash can.

    Same thing happened to us a few years ago. I came home and the trash can was gone. They left the lid so I sat it out for them, but it laid there for days. What is up with trash can thieves? :bandit The cookies were a great touch. JP
  5. Hi I have not checked in for a long time. Glad to see everyone is doing well. I was banded Aug. 15 I have 1.9 cc's in a 4 cc band. I get my 4th fill Jan. 8, 2008. I hope to loose 2 more pounds by next Tuesday to meet my Christmas goal of 40 lbs. lost. This is much more difficult than I had expected, but well worth it. Good luck to all. JP
  6. I have BC&BS of IL. and was accepted within 4 weeks. My surgery was Aug. 15. I had a psych. eval., thyroid test, letter from my primary care provider, and 3 years of medical records. Good luck. JP

    shifting of the band

    Rosalinda, If I were you, first I would call the Dr. and ask about liquids. My third fill was so tight I threw up every day for over two weeks. I had to stay on liquids for over a week and slowly introduce solids back into my diet. Thank goodness I did not slip, but my point is your stomach may be swollen and irritated. Try protein drinks and chicken broth. Good luck. JP
  8. Sounds like you need a fill and to call your dietician. Keep your chin up. JP
  9. This thread made my day. Merry fu#$ing XMas to all!

    Bitches

    OMG it must be the same every place! I work with some real cut throats. They use all of their assets if you know what I mean. It never matters how hard I work I am just the fat girl. I have always hated working with other women. They will steel your man and your job if you are not careful. JP

    Horrible 2nd fill with vomiting

    I wanted to know the same thing. I had my third fill two weeks ago and have vomited almost every day. Two different times it was very violent. Now I can eat soft things, but get that pain in my chest real often and slim a lot of the food I eat. My Dr. had me do a barium swallow, but the worst of the vomiting happend after the test. Good luck in your journey. JP

    Big Fluctuations

    I had my third fill three weeks ago. Until that day I had no restriction. Now every day is a challange. I never know what I will be able to keep down. Like Boo Boo Kitty said some days I can eat something and can not eat the leftovers the next day. I PB almost every day slimming and chest pain. Many things I will never try to eat again like bread. I am guilty of not chewing and that is a big problem. Good luck. JP

Let me know what you find out. JP

    I love my bugg so much that last week I ordered the watch. It is real helpful at work, because I can't download from my work computer due to administrative privileges. The watch allows me to see how many steps I have taken and how many calories I have burned. JP

    I must be stupid

    Hi Wendell, It was so foreign for me to not be able to eat. The first two fills gave me so little restriction. I now realize I have a band and it is working. I kept solids down for the first time in a week today, and I did not push the limits. The frist sign of feeling full I pushed the plate back. My Dr. wants me to have a barium swallow tomorrow to be safe. Thanks again to everyone for all of the support you have given me. JP
  17. I now have 1.9 cc's in a 4 cc band. I am very tight and can not eat many solid foods. It is strange, because at 1.6 cc's I could eat almost everything. JP

    Truslelle, Don't wait! I love my bugg once you put it on it is hard to live without. Also the trial membership is only good for 3 months. I don't know if this is after it is activated or on purchase. JP
  21. I take lexapro for anxiety and depression. It is a small pill and I have no problem. JP

    All of you got me so excited I bought one! Now my husband wants one. I paid $229.00. I am not sure when it will be here, but I hope by Monday. I know this gadget will help me to exercise more. JP
  25. I am so glad for you. Now the waiting begins:eek:. Hang in there it will all fall into place before you know it. Start trying different protein shakes to find out which ones you like. I like the berry prodi drinks and Chocolate Unjury. There are many kinds, just ask around. Start walking if you can, and stop drink soda. Let us know what happens. JP
