This morning has turned out to be a sad sad morning..I got stuck..Literally..I know exactly what i did..I ate to fast..but as i was getting sick and throwing up I was home alone and very scared..I could barely breathe ..They all say that most of us will get stuck @ least 1 time..Well this was my turn. so i called my doctor..They sd not to worry about it because it happens, no one is perfect and its a learning experience..well guess what? i don't ever want to do that again.. So, I have to due two days of Clear Liquids, two days of Protein Shakes and two days of puree..That i can handle.. Was everyone this scared? I feel so tight right now..My doctor says because of the spasms and that it has to take time to let the swelling down.. UGH. Sorry for rambling..my nerves have gotten to me... Thanks, Kristen

you inspire me!Congrads on your accomplishments..I cannot wait to be there one day!

I am happy that they are just getting LAP-BAND out there to the world..The death rate is high..My mom is a nurse and @ her job there was six people who have had GB within a two year span..4 have died due to complications.. My mom knew all 4 of them...

I have noticed that i haven't really posted alot lately, I also have taking notice with my life..I Started going to the gym (love watching the guys ) I enjoy it..I however need my support groupsThis board and OH because i am still a newbie and i KNOW that i need help..Also, I have always had the hopes that if i share my story it might inspire someone else

Soooo many things to list. 1) To finally be skinny- I have been FAT since i was born 2) To wear a bathing suit without covering up 3) To run around with my neices without passing out for no air 4) To wear a regular Halloween costume 5) To walk around and have people stare at me because i look good and not because i am the fattest girl in the room 6) to FINALLY be PROUD of myself 7) To make family members Jealous 8) To FINALLY have a real relationship wthat special GUY (whoever he is) 9) TO LIVE LIFE HOW I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE! Kristen

Hey Crete, I also use Mauri in goshen, I had surgery 08/10/05 and have attended two meetings since then, Unfortuanly i have no more time off of work allowed so i won't be able to attend anymore til after new years..I love it though and find it very helpful! Best wishes Kristen

I really don't think i have picked a name for mine yet..HeShe is kinda upset with me this week ...I happen to have my very first PBStuck on Sat..So this week my band is laying in bed with a towel on its head.. A name will come to me sooner or later Kristen

Hmmmm...So many and so little time LOL I LOVE vin diesel..Derek Jeter, Christian Slayer..Wellsworth Miller (prison Break On Fox) Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks I have a few more just my brain can't think of them all LOL

I have been having some issues too..but i will pick up and move on..Life is about learning..I took me 22 years to put weight on its not going to take 1 day to come off..I like to think of these days as two steps forward and 1 step back..At least i am still moving forward though .. Tommorow is a BRAND new day!

Delarla. I totally agree with you..I don't think the government is doing a good job..Everyone is sending supplies to the astrodome yet the convention center has NO COPS..NO SUPPLIES AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE STARVING TO DEATH..I am so saddened but this and i cannot even fathom what they are going through. We can send millions of supplies to Thialand and Iraq but we cannot even help those who live state's away..Ugh..I cannot even think about it..Makes me want to cry Kristen

What medicines can i take for this? I saw the list of the NSAIDS and i was wondering if i can take the chlorasetic? Throat spray? Does tyenol make one? I am suppose to go back to work tdy and i feel like crap! Kristen

I take a flinestone every day..Even if i don't feel like it!

Since me and my sister have looked into this, we have had 2 other people looking into it..One has surgery 9/1/05 and the other one is just beginning her journey BUT we have also had people who say we encouraged them to go to WW again...and other diets.. Kristen

ok ..Who here thinks Star Jones had some type of weight loss surgery!? I think she did and she looks good but if she did why don't she just admit it? My whole family agree.. Kristen

I agree with you Alexandra..The Band is my thought..I am happy for her if she did and or didn't..

Good Morning Sis.. I was able to get three protien shakes in yesterday..I do feel better about that..But the Gas pains are HORRIBLE..Anyways..didn't you want to go for a walk tdy? Kristen
