Welcome to LBT, Tilley! Congrats on your weight loss, that's great! You've come to the right place for great information and great support! Good luck to you and it was nice to meet you!

Whosyadaddy Good for you!!! Way to go!!!

Welcome to LBT! I also saw your listing on ebay and wasn't sure if it was for real. Please tell us about yourself and more about you situation so we can help.

Hi Kimmya! Welcome to LBT! I'm not sure about the insurance, I have BCBS Federal. Good luck to you and I hope everything works out for you. Keep us posted on your progress.

Nesser I had to do Clear liquids for a week, so the fudge pops were out for me until week 2. The SF Popsicles were a God send though. I would also suggest getting some Gatorade so you'll have it on hand. I got dehydrated the first week and the Gatorade really helped. Your doctor should give you a written guideline to go by. Good luck!

Welcome to LBT Chris! Congrats on your decision to have lap band surgery. It's the best decision I've ever made regarding my health. I have so much more energy and I am so pleased with my results! I have a 2 year old son, so I know what it feels like to have to make such a life changing decision for your family. I did this for my son and for my health. I hope everything works out for you. Nice to meet you and good luck to you.

Congratulations! Good for you!!

Thanks everyone! I'm hoping by Monday it will be a lot better. My nose is feeling a lot better now. Now I'm just waiting on my leg to heal. Thanks for thinking of me everyone!

I have never PB'ed or gotten stuck before but I came very close tonight! As you know, I ate some stove top stuffing for lunch, it went down fine (probably because I made it thinner). I tried to eat scrambled eggs tonight and I thought I was going to puke. I was able to eat only 2 bites. Since I've never PB'ed, I don't really know what to expect. My mouth started watering and I felt pretty nauseated for a few minutes. Nothing happened, thank goodness! I was just wandering if that is how most people feel before they PB. Here's what I had today: B'fast- low carb slim fast Lunch- stove top stuffing (thinned out) Dinner- 2 bites of eggs, homemade fruit smoothie Hopefully by Monday I will be able to start back eating more fresh fruits and veggies.

Thanks Nip! Congratulations on your weight loss! You are an inspiration to all of us! Don't forget to send me an invite okay! Sounds like fun! LOL, Brina! Thanks for making me laugh, I really needed it! They didn't give me any prescription medicine for pain, but I've been taking liquid Motrin and to my suprise it has worked pretty well. I am going to keep in mind about your butt kicking skills! You never know.......... I may need you to use them one day, lol!

I ended up eating some stove top stuffing (with extra chicken stock) and it went down fine. So far I can't tell a difference with this fill, maybe it will kick in soon.

Allison I agree with you about Taylor Hicks. I don't think he should have won. I think he was a good entertainer, but not a great singer IMO. I liked Katherine McPhee better than Taylor. Chris Daughtry was my favorite too, I was soooo disappointed when he left, but he has done soooo well and I'm happy for him. Michael should be fine, I'm sure someone will pick him up quickly!!

Losing, you look wonderful! I'm so proud of you. I know you say you don't like the picture, but if you were to place it beside your before side shot, you would be able to see just how good you look, which is freaking fabulous!! Keep posting those pics!!

BJean- I'm with you! I think American got it wrong this week, dead wrong. It should have been Syesha IMO. Granted, it wasn't Michaels best performance, but he is soooo much better than the other 2 in the bottom. I was very mad that he was voted off!! I agree about the David A comment too! He better not win!! Grrrrrr!

Thanks Renewed! I just got back from the doctor and he had to re-pack the incision on my leg.........I'm cringing just thinking about it. He said he thought it looked a little better, so I am hopeful that I'll be a lot better by Monday. Let me ask you something. I explained to the doctor that I was on liquids for a few days because of my fill. He really wants me to eat some food with my antibiotics. He said that the antibiotic could mess my stomach up and it was better to eat with it. My fill was only .25cc and I'm not feeling much different, so do you think it would be okay for me to eat something mushy today? I know yogurt would be okay, but I have some stove top stuffing (I know it's not the best for me, but it's soft when I add a little chicken stock to it. What do you think?

I'm back from the doctor. He had to re-pack the incision on my leg.......not fun at all. I have to go back again on Monday, so hopefully things will be much better by then. Allykat- Yesterday the doctor told me to get some Bacitraycin to put in my nose and the places on my face. What is the stuff your talking about, is it an antibiotic ointment?

Wow, he must be desperate! In a way it's really creepy, but it's also really sad that someone would resort to being a "slave" for WLS. Makes me wonder what kind of mental state he is in

There is an obvious knot right on the inside of my nose, I just hope the antibiotic kicks in soon because I don't think I could stand it if they had to lance the one in my nose. My face and nose is already so sore to the touch. I'm about to go back to the doctor, they wanted to see me again this morning. I will update when I get back. Thanks for thinking of me.

Well, although I'm not feeling well, I was down 2 more pounds today, so that makes me feel a little better, lol.

I'm down 4 more pounds! Georgia Girl ....... 275 .... 237 ....... 251 ..................... 14 <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O:P></O:P>
