You are so welcome rosettag...I wish you a lovely day!!! My youngest will be 32 yoa this year!!! One is working today, one is deployed somewhere and one that I worry about since her phone has been disconnected and get in touch with, so I feel your pain!!! LOLRH have a super great day!!!

Almost 2 miles in pool yesterday, learned new moves on my water walking, but did some pool pushups too and other leg exercises....today working on getting my house cleaned up...company coming...does that count as exercise? lots to do LOL

JustWatchMe that is great news...I too had to move down a few sizes my swimsuits were all too big and strenched out...was in a 24 got into an 18 today OMG this feels sooooooooooooo awesome doesn't it? CONGRATS! CONGRATS! CONGRATS! GF you are doing AWESOME!!! So happy for you!

Welcome Terri160 to Band Land. you will have that fear to do alot of drinking and when you start to eat with fear of choking. I so remember those feelings, you are doing great to keep it slow...just make sure you stay hydrated okay? let us know if you have any other questions we are here for you and I will be thinking about you that all goes well through your next few weeks!!! Hang in there girl!!! Hey Chrissy10 good to see you online again...you sound like and looks like you are doing great!!!

sorrycowgirl63 no help here, hope you can find someone to help...but I hope they figure out something for you.

betty_s I have heard other talk about diarrhea...and the pain was so true for me but my port is in my left chest area!!! it last for months and still rears its ugly head every now and then if I sleep on that side too long at night. I know its painful, but as the days goes by Betty it will get better. hopefully they will get the pain under control before you leave the hospital. hang in there sweetie and welcome to Band Land...let me know if you need anything.

cg tassels too-mines red but no tassels? LMBO!!!

destingford I had my surgery in Jan too. lots of meats are dry...that's when gravies, sauces and ketchup come into play...need something to help them get down...me I just decided they are worth the effort. but it sounds like you are getting a bit stuck. as for not feeling satisified your still not in your green zone...I'm only on fill 3 today and not sure how much they will put in...but I have no restriction at all unless I eat too fast or don't chew correctly. so be careful...I got an app on my cellphone called Eat Slow...set it for 1 minute between bites and it has really helped me to slow down and chew, chew, chew and put my fork down and be patient...I do feel those feelings most of the time when I do eat slower...that says okay your done!!! hope that helps...you take care and we will be in the GREEN before we know it!!!

Had to share this...it's soooooooooooooooooo funny...wanted to make you SMILE!!! hope it comes through!!!

I CAN'T WAIT TO BUY A NEW PAIR OF JEANS IN MISSY SIZE...THAT IS ONE OF MY MAIN GOALS!!!

I also had a belly button incision!!! take a mirror and see if its red and swollen, if so please call your doctor...I had a little pain but not much, but was told by my NP that a little pain was normal, but to watch for those signs and let them know immediately!!! hoping you get to feeling better!!! hope you reply to your message once you get fixed up!!!

sounds wonderful, but I don't do cruises...afraid of the water!!! but have sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun!!!

proudmama1319 I am sorry you are in so much pain-but TMF suggested a shot...that is a great idea since we have been told not to take NSAIDS any longer. I so know about pain...had both of my knee's replaced at once and when that happened gained loads of weight and nothing but NSAIDS helped...but now that I have had the band...I use icy/hot roll on and it helps a bit...tylenol doesn't touch me...I would recommend taking an OTC med like Prilosec along with them if you still take them. You do need to talk with your doctor about that...exercising is helping a little more too...once I get past the "I've exercised mode" LOL!!! wishing you the best and CONGRATS and WELCOME to BAND LAND!!! TMF hang in there my friend...hoping your knee surgery will help you feel better...you put your horse in front of the wagon-unlike me doing it the other way. Take care...hope to see you on here soon!!!

me too no NSAIDS and I agree with JustWatchMe...sure could use some right now because I have started exercising and am feeling the burn/pain of it...LOLRH!!! I use the icy/hot stick roll on and it helps alittle, not sure what else to say-but you need to talk with your surgeon/doctor...wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you since you are so newly out...BTW lecouch...CONGRATS WELCOME TO BAND LAND!!!

jamilyne...you can do this dearheart...look how far you have come!!! "63" lbs that is AWESOME!!! try to change up your workout and I find using my small plate I was given by the clinic helps too...I merely stop eating when its all gone 3 to 4 oz of meat, veggies) or when I don't feel satisfied. I know some folks on here could probably help you better but I know that is what is usually said by the veteran banders on this site. Hang in there and you will do fine!!! I'll be thinking of you and hoping to see another post saying you are doing better again.

betty_s please know I will be thinking of you...do you have a date yet? CONGRATS!!!

Okay I'm home now from the pool, did another mile in less than 25 minutes tonight and the trainer had me doing the step too...my legs ache like crazy and I am truly tired...had my going away party today too so am excited and a bit bummed at the same time...if you know what I mean, but I exercised...LOL...nite everyone-sleep tight!!!

cute pic catfish87 looks like Twiggy (the model) from my youth...not sure if you would know who she was catfish87...LOL...but loved the pic!!! thanks YOU GO CAROLINAGIRL YOU GO-WALKING ON YOUR SUNSHINE!!!

part of my job was community education and that is one of those falsehoods...muscle is just less dense and takes up less room...I am looking forward to seeing my fat turn into less space...LOLRH!!!

Vtsoutherngal I am glad you are feeling pretty good...I also had a hernia repaired as well. you hang in there sweet lady...let us know if you need us!!! Take care!!!

TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR, SWEETIE...HEARTBURN IS NOT GOOD!!

my stuck events happen right away and usually I can't keep it down more than 15 minutes...drinking only aggravates my incidents...so if you don't feel better soon I suggest you contact your doctors office. sorry you are feeling so uncomfortable right now, hope you get to feeling better soon...let us know what happens okay?
