goodtimes

Good morning guys; how are ya!!! Its been quite a while since being on here. Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know that I will be having my TT on April 26, 2010. Woooo Hooooo Guys!!!!:smile2: Im so happy and after looking at those after pics, man!! I have so much to say that led up to me having this moment!!!

Hello everybody; its been a long time. I have a question. Back in April, I was going in to do a tt (didn't do the tt!!) so i had gotten .5 cc to take out!! i had my ugi also and was told that i was too tight. ( i promise you guys i didn't feel i was tight) dr. took out all fill!! about a month later, started putting back fill, i am now at 10cc's. don't feel any restrictions and now my stomach is bulging making me look pregnant. what's the deal with that? Please, please i need responses!!!:rolleyes2:

Hello Everybody; Its been a while since being on here. I have a question. I had gotten the saline taken out of the port about 3 weeks ago. I immediately gained 20 lbs. It was gas and I was too bloated. :tt2: Last week my surgeon put only 8cc's in my 10cc. (by the way, I am making him put back every ounce of saline) and I am still bloated and have gas. :biggrin: Whats the deal with that? Anybody is there anything I can do. I've tried gas-x and other methods

hey swellshell; well my dr. says that we will have gas for the rest of our lives (smile) i am 3 years out and sometimes I do experience it. But you know what i've figured out as well, some foods i can't eat any longer and maybe that is a factor to some of the problems. my opinion

question? how long do you guys feel unrestriction? for a week, couple of days? Knowing that all bodies are different, like i said when we lay down and when we get up, makes a big difference

hi davsil; our bodies shifts, so i am assuming that saline will probably settle soon. 3 days ago, i could eat a lil sumthing. yesterday, a no go, today, had oatmeal, but now i can't eat until much later. how many fills have you had? But I am 3 years out and I am at the 10cc

Hi guys. Yes, my goal is the tt on april 26th. yaay!!!!

Oooo gingerjane. Yes been there done that!!!! Hee-hee!!That's a hater right there!!!! Girl, that is so funny, I know right now you don't feel like chuckling!!! hee-hee but girl, she knows that you gonna be looking better than her!!!! lolololol. I'm sorry to keep laughing!!!! Its so funny!!! That's her insecurity, not yours. You keep doing what you need to do!!!!! Now if you gonna sit there and let that hater stop you from doing what you want to do, than "shame" on you!!!! Don't take it personal jane!!! that's her faults not your. Now I do apologize for being blunt (smile) but its for your own good!!!

Ohm; thats a good observation. I don't do the protein shakes my self. I try to get those other protein foods in. eggs, turkey, fish, etc. and also like your doctor stated, we should be exercising. but every bodies are totally different. What works for one, sure doesn't work for the other. How ever its gonna work, roll on!!!

Omg, everybody. This was the best decisions that I made almost 3 yrs ago. It will be june 9th. I've reached my goal, at the top of the 10cc's and preparing for my tt on april 26th. wooo hooo!!!!:thumbup: For the ones that is preparing this journey, or the ones that just got it done and the ones who is on the journey; just let it ride, make sure you take care of yourself and the weight will come off!!!

Hey thin, wait you should be excited about your upcoming surgery!!!! Isn't this so exciting? Girlfriend, I pray for quick recovery time!!!

Hi Special K; Oooo yes, I know that we will all feel so much better. I pray that your surgery goes well. And you will definitely have more energy and with spring rolling around real soon, you will have that much more spunk!!!!

Dang you girls results are fabulous. Thank God for technology!!!!!

Omg Tami; Wow!!!!! Girl the transformation is awesome!!!!! and you are 3 months out!!!!! Ooooo Weeee

Good morning Guys; I think its an individual choice. I actually told a friend that I thought that I wouldn't tell and I wasn't the bit least embarrassed. I even told him, I was getting a tummy tuck. Lololololololololol:ohmy:

Hello Cure; First off, congrats on your journey!!! Secondly, I don't know which ones you've seen but there are quite a few ppl out here that have lost weight quickly. Since the band is only a tool, there are many things you have to do in order to lose the weight and then maintain. Exercise!!!! Whew, I'm telling you, I would probably be one of those ppl you saw on the site saying that they only lost 30lbs in a year. Its very important!!!! Well in my opinion it is and will be my life style until i leave this earth.

Wow Jessica; You go girl!!!! Whatever it took for you to deal with those demons, u keep right on until you break ties. Woooo girl you gonna make me holla!!!! (smile)

Hi Dow, girl just get the hershey with almonds. I do!!! and believe me, it doesn't stay down. Wow!!! I thought since it was soft but it doesn't hold, but it does take that craving away. I don't how much enjoyment you will get, cause every bodies are different. and since you are so craving it, don't deprieve yourself of it. I am almost 3 years out and my 10 cc band is full and i still some foods can't hold.

we3601, oh no!!!! girl call those people and get unfilled. That is not how it supposed to be!!!! when you can't even drink water, then its too tight for you.

Hi Diamondgirl; i am almost 3 yrs out in june. and let me tell you, i can't eat banannas at all. my body just won't take it. so that means you will probably have to find potassium some place else. I've learned that the foods that we used to eat umph!!! (smile) your band won't be able to take it!!! Way to go girl on your journey

I ain't mad at cha girlie!!!! Looking good!!

Hi, Well for me its my tummy!!!! That extra skin from pregancy and c-section has left that oooooooooo yucky!!! (smile) They say to do crunches but that is for the muscles not that skin

Hi mnmichelle; how are you? yes u r a newbie to this! how do you feel besides needing that fill? Like I told newview, its a slow process!! i guarantee you, u want a slow weight loss!!! that's my opinion and i'm sticking to it!!! (smile)

Hi Newview; How are you? I was just saying the same thing. I usually don't come on here often either, but its good to hear from other bandsters. I live in edina and i had mines done 2 yrs ago. I am at my goal weight. I would love to talk!!

wearing you down I know!!!
