Hey you might be a lucky one.... Well everyone is diffrent.... I have gone thought bad times and really good times.. -50lbs... So dont look for the "honeymoon" to be over just rejoice in what you got.. you are doing good.. keep it up!

Well everyone can be diffrent... as for me, some foods dont go down as well as others.. like no matter how lose or tight I am I can not eat chicken... You will learn what you can and can not eat. I hope thats all it is...

I will be in Pueblo Colorado.. is that close by?

Well if I lose any of my breasts then I will start wearing band aids... I am 42 B and its only because I have fat to tuck in there.. other wise I would be a 42 A and I dont think they sell that. LOL

Good Luck! You are going to do great! Let us know how you are doing when you get back if you feel up to it! Take Care

Gosh I wish my tummy ached from having it maybe then I would stop. I think the way my Dr. looks at it, is "If it dont hurt you, then its ok to have" Hmmm maybe I should ask him again about what he thinks of me drinking Carbonation. I dont drink it all the time, I dont even buy sodas for the house... I drink it mostly when we go out.. or I have a beer every so offten. Yeah I wish I had the same probablem with candy too hehehe

Colleen, How are you doing today? Better I hope! Chicken and I never get along, I still always try it but It gets stuck more times then it goes down.. Well let us know how you are doing!

The Pain will get better and better. Just take it easy and rest up! Welcome to Bandland!!!!!!!!!!

First off I need a fill BAD!!!! I have been able to eat way to much. Anyway last few days when I eat my shoulders start to hurt.. Like they get sore, a feeling like the gas pains maybe or even a feeling like a chest cold is coming on. Well it ONLY happens when when I eat. Plus it cant be a cold, Im on 875mg of Amoxicillin (sp) twice a day. Well Im off them now but I was on them two days ago. Anyway Im not sure what it could be. Im going to see my Band Dr. on the 18th so I am hoping he could tell what it is. Im going for a fill and he is going to check my stomach since I have been in much pain from it for a while now. I just wanted to see if any of you had pain in your shoulder when you ate. Thanks for any info. ~Trish

Jaime my shoulder pain just started a week ago.. but I think its because the way I am sitting while I eat.. belive me im more worried about my stomach. but between school and money for travel the 18th is the only time I can make it up to CO. I will let you know how it goes.

OMG Paula I was actually just thinking that.. then I was thinking what I have been doing while eating.. and its sitting on the couch with one leg under me... It just didnt seem realistic that, that could be the problem.. but now Im thinking it is. Thanks

I have been banded for 6 months now.. and its only when I eat something.. So I dont think it is the same shoulder pain I had when I was first banded.

Wow that is really neat. I love beadwork. You did a great job.

I would think that it was because I was eating to much.. but it happens on the 1st or 2nd bite. So thats why I am a bit lost.

Yes, it can get very fustrating. Im always fighting with my band.. but overall its best thing for me and I know that. You will have bad days we all do but thank God for the band and it being there to help us not turn to food even when we think that will make everything better. Im glad to hear you and your band are getting along better today

Yeah A&P isnt very fun and for the most part it has been taking all of my time.. Ohhhh Microbology next term.. then A&PII ohhh your jealous huh LOL Just 45min until I sign up for my next semester, They give you times to reg. depending on how many credits you have.. so im sitting here nervous hoping I will get the classes I want..

I am going for my nursing/raidology degree (yes im going for two since there is a big demand for both and a long wait.. im seeing who will take me first) The only thing I have trouble with is if I need to see my Band Dr. or need a fill I have to try to schedule when I know im not going to miss class. Im only taking 2 classes but they are spread out thourgh the week Mon-Thurs. so its hard to plan anything. Im not losing any weight, can i blame on the stresses of Anatomy? LOL

AHHHHHHHHHHHH LISA!!!!!!!!!!!! I got your message way to late... I PMed you..... OMG Im so upset we didnt get to meet... I will be out again soon be ready... I will give you heads up on it... Looks like you had a blast! I will have to post some Pics of my Vegas trip!

Paula, Its wonderful to hear from you Glad everything is ok. Miss you lots!!!!
