Beautiful picture Paula, I'm sure your DH is quite proud of you, just like we are.

Awe, I got goose bumps, that was so sweet. Thanks for sharing that with us, although, your DH would probably have a fit if he knew, that is if he's like mine.

Great Sunshine, once you start on mushies you'll think you've gone to heaven!

The band is a tricky item, I had chili tonight, went down easy, actually too easy, then about an hour later I get half a golf ball in my back. Have never had any of the pre pb attack or any hint of anything being stuck. Thanks for the warning, that's quite a while later to be awakened with that feeling. This is a strange ? but do you ever wonder sometimes when you're eating kind of normal if you're band is still attached? Before being banded I read so often about how sensitive the band is, boy I had no idea! I think I'd really like to do the flouor just so I could see my band in action.

This over fill thing is probably one of my biggest fill concerns, other than having my band/tube punctured. Right after my fill on the 10th, I did liquids for 24 hrs, then when I did eat, it was tiny bites, very very scared I would pb, (little did I know he missed the port), I kept thinking ok where's that golf ball.

Hey Sunshine, it's been a few days, just wondering how you're doing on that liquid stage. Hope all is well.

I had my boobs reduced in 1984, I had the excess put on ice so when they figure out how to do male extensions my DH would already have donated tissue. Who'd ever thought they'd come back, but at least they're where they're suppose to be instead of around my waist.

That's wonderful! All of my jeans are big around the legs, but everything is still tight in the tummy area. Maybe I'm still swollen, LOL. OR...maybe it's the saline gone awry from my fill or I may just need to exercise.

I didn't actually faint, they just thought I was going to because I lost all my color, got so sick on my stomach and clammy. I do plan on calling him Monday to discuss the flouro, otherwise he will not know if he messed up my port. Also, if you remember, I'm the first bandster, although he has done over 500 gastro bypasses He also said he had experience with the port by way of the chemo admin for cancer patients. When we first talked at the support meeting the other night he said he was going to do it at the hospital, then I asked who was paying and he said, well lets go ahead and do it at the office. Since this was a package self pay between him and the hospital, I think the flouro should be included, at least until he's more experienced with the fills. By the way, how do you adjust the ticker once you've lost more weight? Do you have to reselect everything all over again each time you want to make a change? Blossom, where's your picture and I just a had a mint Zone bar, thought about you, LOL.

Congratulations, I wish I had Tricare, I'd have a lot of extra money in my pocket, LOL.

They have to "dig" for yours, OMG, get the smelling salt!

I just heard tonight from a friend who's physical therapist told her she was dehydrated. She asked how she knew. She said open your hand, press your finger or thumb into your hand, if it leave a white spot, you're dehydrated! Oh my looks like I'm bone dry, better go get some water.

Jamie most of them have 16 grms of Protein. OMG he missed the port under flouro Blossom, we want your pic back, you're much prettier than the avatar showing.

Gee, I have a bruise the size of a pencil point, but no fill, boo hoo! Wouldn't it be a itch if he put a hole in my inner band since he missed the port. I think I'm going to insist we do the flouro thing to be sure, whatta ya think?

Thank you!

My bad, I was confused because it said 4 views on one and 3 views on the other. Great job 60 lbs, that's wonderful.

I'm only getting 1 view out of each atchmt. You look wonderful and your pdf file is great too.

The fill was done in the doctors office in Newport News, VA. Valium, I hope that relaxes me.

I had to laugh about the food commercials, that was one of my first observations no one warns you about. And everything looks soooo good. It will pass. Don't forget the Vitamins. Congratulations and good luck on your new journey.

I think that's priority concern for most, but we're dealing with professionals and they don't want you to stay asleep forever either! I just wanted to make sure I WAS and stayed asleep during the surgery, LOL. I don't remember a thing after they rolled me out of my preop room made a right turn and then woke up in my room. They use some good stuff. Good Luck.

Paula, or he's done something, LOL. Maybe he wants to ride your Harley.

Penni, great for you, and finding one at Target to boot. If I wore a halter top like that, my neck would snap from the weight of the puppies.

I know yall refer to stickies sometimes, but I downloaded post it stickies that stay on the bottom of my tool bar and when I find something I want to keep to repeat to my doctor, such as the post from Michelle, I just copy it then past it to the sticky. Then when I close LBT, all the post it stickys are on my desktop. It's really neat and great to refer back to....just FYI The site is www.zhornsoftware.co.uk

Wouldn't we be rich? I don't know if its psychological or what, but since I found out the fill went foul it's been the toughest time controlling the appetite since my surgery. I just don't want to gain my weight back, it's bad enough not loosing, but will be worse if I gain. I'll keep looking for the cream, LOL.

My cream script was called in today along with Valium for me to take for my the second attempt at a fill next Wed. Anybody got a cow they don't want, I could probably eat it.
