OUCH! My jeans fit like a glove, but they kill my port! I have to leave them unbuttoned & unzip them half way, & then fold the 2 sides of the fly inside the waist. Anyone else experience this? These jeans are not tight! & they have spandex.
-
Thanks for the info! I'll check them out! I found a website yesterday called classiccloseouts.com. They have all this brand name stuff really cheap. They had some plus size jeans that were low rise & had spandex in them for $14.99 (size 24-18W). They also had some plus size tops. Thought I would share my good find with y'all!

Oh! I forgot something......MOCK CHICKEN LOAF! What the heck is mock chicken loaf anyway? It's some lunch meat my husband likes. I am not eating anything that says MOCK!
-
I've never had a problem with it & I was never told not to do it.

My book says, for 3 oz. of chicken breast stewed, there are 2.9 fat grams & 144 calories.

I have a book called the complete & up to date FAT BOOK. It has fat grams & calories of just about anything you can think of. Just ask me & I'll look it up for you!

Welcome! Sounds like you have the fun stuff out of the way. Now the hard part.........the waiting! Good luck to you! -
Oh no! Water just makes it worse! Found that out the hard way! Only took once for me to learn that lesson!
-
Oh man! I feel for you! Glad you didn't have a slip though! At least this didn't happen during the holidays!
-
Occasionally when this happens to me, I just lean over the toilet & it comes up. I know gross! But it doesn't hurt or anything like that & it is instant relief! I don't gag myself or anything, it just comes up. I think I have had to do it twice.

Thank you! I just sent you a PM. Wondering if you need a new avatar? 50 lbs lost!!!! Molly that's awesome!!

It also means swallowing small amounts of food & washing it on through with liquids so you can eat more. Basically doing all of the things you are not supposed to do & defeating the purpose of the band!
-
That was wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing!

Well, I just cleaned mine out before i came to talk to you guys. What I found was a bowl of homemade cranberry relish from Thanksgiving. It actually looked & smelled good. I didn't try it though. Besides 8 dozen eggs from my chickens that I'm gonna have to pawn off on somebody, everything else is pretty new.

Here in Arkansas they are doing ear stapling to lose weight. It's supposed to hit a nerve that controls hunger. It works if they hit the nerve. Kind of an accupressure thing.

old woman? whatever! You look beautiful!

http://www.angelfire.com/ok3/vbowen8/ This site goes over ALL of the WLS types & what & how it is done. What odor are you talking about? My sister-in-law had the RNY & her breath was foul for a few months but it passed. But vomits constantly & suffers from dumping syndrome. That's all I know!

I like the South Beach bars. You can get them at Wal-Mart. I like the chocolate & PB & the chocolate fudge. They are kind of like rice crispies that are flavored & then the bottom is dipped in chocolate. & they are high in protein.

Welcome Criss! Nice to meet you!

Welcome Dar & Criss! Nice to meet you both! I wasn't able to feel my port until this last month (almost a year after surgery). Fills don't hurt me. It's more like a discomfort. Keep us posted!
