    Banded 9-28-07, How is everyone doing??

    Get some good Protein from Slim fast low carb. It is 20 grams and does not taste too bad. You are about to be under the big 200. How exciting. when I get there yall will hear a victory shout!! I also ordered unjury powdered protein so I could make smoothies ( I am sill on liquids). it has twenty grams for 60 calories. I got the flavored kind (a few more calories) and put it in the blender with yogurt and fresh fruit. Hope this helps. Cleone

    Deb, I am surprised you can eat a chewy calcium yet. I am still on liquids, If I can't get it in a straw, I can't eat it. Just a thought, Cleone

    Dear Deb, 8 lbs now! Try taking the pills in jello or a smoothie like you said. I have been taking my capsule and small pill with just water. I have been having shoulder pain pretty bad, worse now then last week. I feel good besides that. I am glad you are feeling better. Do you have a pharmacist that makes up stuff in your town? We do, I was just thinking, call your pharmacist and ask for suggestions. glad we are on the other side! Cleone

    Deb, I did really well. I did not have any of what you described but the pain from the gas. The pain is in my shoulder. But I have not had any today. Yesterday I had four Protein drinks, two cans of Soup, and a Popsicle!! How was the flight? Did the tapping work? Hope it all goes more smoothly from now on for you. Sincerely, Cleone
  6. My one thing people don't know about me, I am what you get when you cross a gay alcoholic and Pollyanna. I must say it is not a bad combination!
  7. I have been able to drink protein drinks, creamy chicken soup, jello and of course, lot of h2o. I don' have any gurgiling up, but it does hurt a little when I burp, like a pressure feeling. I am so excited! Cleone:kiss2:

    not losing weight

    Maybe there is a leak in your band, so you are not able to get restriction?

    Having a hard time with hunger

    Dear Elizabeth, Hang in there girl! You can do this. Try and get your mind off eating, maybe call someone on the phone or chat on the bandster chat board. I will get my band 9-28. I can't figure out how come some people are hungry and others are not. Anyway, good luck, you can do this. Cleone

    Debbi, I don't know how to use this web site very well can you leave me a private message? After we figure out how to do that I will give you my phone number, we will figure out a good time and I will tap you. You will not believe how well it works! Cleone

    Banded on Friday 9/7

    Debbi, you forgot to say where in Mexico. I will be in Acuna. I can do the energy tapping over the phone. It works for being afraid to fly and will also work to erase the fear of being embarrassed on the way home. I tapped a kindergartener one time and when I finished she said "OK mom lets go to the airport I'm ready to fly"...and she did both ways no problems. I am getting excited. I am clearing my schedual so I can rest a few days afterwards, how about you? Cleone

    Debi, I just realized we are the same age! I will be 52 a few days after surgery so I might be just a touch older than you. We have a lot in common! Cleone

    Banded on Friday 9/7

    Dear Debbie, I am going to Mexico too. Dr. Rodriquez how about you? I think I can help you with the being scared. I do energy tapping, part of energy psychology. If you are game let me know. I will fix you up. Where do you live? I am in Auburn AL, War Eagle. We are going to do just fine. 300,000 people have done this. I have already started telling myself that I will go throuh surgery like a breeze, I will not be hungry, I can do what I need to (yes I am convincing my self). I am 5'6" closing in on 230 (I have been saying goodbye to a few favorite foods). I would love to muddle through this with you. Band Buddies! Write me back Cleone

    September 07 Roll Call

    Time, I will be banded on 9-28. I decided yesterday that I was going to be successful, I was not going to be hungry and that I would heal really fast. Would you like to join me in my positive thoughts? I figure I can think it is going to go well or I can think it will go badly....I'm going for the glass half full.
