Ive wondered the same thing-seems the running answer is ...Gas X-I bought some but havent really needed it and I also wonder about Beano-Im horrified thinking I may become the boss that passes wind down the halls and in meetings.I cant have that happenin'!

If only you all had met me before all this I coulda guided you along the CORRECT path. HOUSEWORK IS BAAAAAAAAAD.I hate all housework and have trained my daughter and hubby quite well in how to do all the stuff for me-everyone has chores its just mine usually end up being her punishment for some grievous wrong like....leaving bookbag on flooor-lol-works out well for me...well indeed.Lol:)

oh yeah definately-id be all over yogurt and tomato soup at this point-lol. The chatrooper...r u going to the vegas bash?

ok when I went to have my surgery I already knew some people felt I wasnt a true candidate for the procedure but technically I was obese and trust me my ankles and knees knew it but I gotta say I felt that way about a young girl who was being prepared for the procedure in my room as I was being checked out-she was 5'7 195 pounds and honestly she did not look very overweight or certainly not enough to me to have the procedure but with that said I am not another persons judge but I do wonder if the criteria is very low if nonexistant down in good ole meheeco compared to here cause Im almost positive the doctor I originally was gonna use here in the states would NOT have took her.Any thoughts?Either way I hope all goes well for everyone who has this done because we all want a more happy healthy life.

okay so Ill do mine later---214/210/131-some people say 131 is a bit chubby for 5'3 but honestly I liked my body at that weight-not too thin and not to thick

man ya'll throw me off when you do the thing like this...250/200/150 cause it makes me think 150 is your current weight as thats how alot of people do do it on here-lol-oh well guess Ill have to get used to it.

I did myself in by not really eating tuesday either cause I didnt want to possibly feel worse on wednesday based on what I had eaten the day before so here we sit 730 friday night-72 hours since I last really ate(then it was 2 chicken tacos)and Im sooooooo hungry.I personally love jello but its not filling the void.I was never a hefty eater anyway I was just a junk eater.Im goin for mashed potatoes maybe......Today I had 2 jellos and some nasty chicken broth-lol.I should be happy I can eat that though-I just got email from Paul who was another person having it done same day as me and he is back at dr kuris office cause he cant hold even water down.I hope all works out for him.

yeah the girl Im talking about was 17-her mom had it done 3 yrs prior.

about lapband surgery-its the info pack they send most people b4 surgery but since mine happened so quick there was no time.Im looking forward to reading it.Basicly though-I can still eat everything I like just in smaller quantities right?Of course after healing is done.my hubby is concerned that itll make him feel like a pig if I only eat broth all the time-lol.Actually he's very supportive but not quite sure as neither am I.I gleen that all will be the same just less of it.

thanks ALOT-youre really helpful.

do ya'll have one of these going?It might be neat-I know I personally have some nice clothes that I hope won't fit in a few months and would be happy to trade or something to get some nice clothes that do fit.

thanks-will do.

hmmmmm-a pic of me?I dont know-I tended to shy away from cameras in the last 10 years but what the heck-I'll see what I got but be warned Im chopping my head off since Ive told NO ONE(except hubby and best friend) in my personal life I had this done-not even family.I feel like Im having an affair or something-lol.

the thing Im not quite clear on is why wait the 6 weeks?I mean wont by then I will have a fill and be very restricted and have to learn to eat again anyway?I gather so far its because Im trying to get my band adjust and promote the size of the stomcah I now have?Sorry for the questions but Im the worlds worst about reading alot of stuff-I always want the cliff notes version:o)

I wanna go to a bash in Vegas in May(heck and sept. too)!!How do you find out about this stuff?

so have you decided if you will be having this done?I have a pic of the facility in tijuana if interested.

ok so lets see size you have to swap? size you want? pics of clothes? Location? I can photo and post my clothes so we would probably need to see stuff to get a better idea of what someone has we may want ya know? We may be able to kind of "freecycle" this in a local sort of way-hook people up locally to save on postage perhaps?

EXCELLENT!! I went to a weight loss camp for 9 weeks last summer and was a bit like you in thinking it wasnt enough.. quick enough-wrong.You are doing fabulous-just look at the long term.Keep it up.

wish me luck!Im off to catch a 8:15 flight and by this time tomorrow Ill be getting my band in Mexico-this is so exciting if not a bit scary.I love this board and appreciate all the info and kindness here-I cant wait to get back and go thru this process with everyone.Do ya'll meet each other and meet for weekends or lunch-that sort of thing?Itd be fun I think to meet people who are going thru same thing and understand.

how do ya'll adjust the info on your ticker band? Thanks for all the info-I love this board!

Hope all is well and thanks for the warm wishes you sent to me.

what did everyone eat the first week?I havent eaten anything since tuesday night at 9.I drink a bit of water and am about to drink some juice but I am not even remotely hungry.

well Im back and alive-lol.My neck is killing me-I slept wrong I guess but all seemed to go well.I got 6 incisions and found Dr.Kuri to be a kind reassuring surgeon-he's not overly friendly but he is accessable-if ya can understand that-lol.Ok im so exhausted and will post more when I feel better-I met some nice people named paul and Kim-Paul was having the surgery done the same day.I also met another guy named Brian but didnt speak with him much-he was nice tho-he was there with his parents.

How long have you been banded? What do you eat each day? How much do you eat? Do you eat sweets? How much have you lost? Do you feel its worth it?

thanks for the info Penni60
