I don't know, I am not a doctor but I would take the meds and be sure to walk to keep the blood flowing. Do you live there or will you be flying home? I'm sure you have called a doctor by this time. Also, the pharmacist should be able to let you know. Good Luck, glad to see you with a healthy band.

LOL wishful thinking is a wonderful thing. I'm glad to hear it was just a mistake. Good Luck

I think 157 was a type o, myself. Good Luck Dody

My doctor told me he to continue to do the liquid to shrink the liver before surgery. I'm excited for you. Good Luck

Nope, no dreaming here. Thank goodness it is only a dream.

Who in the world would put ice cream where there are fat people....HELLO....I hope you have one for me. I want 12.7272, does that include the cone? I have lost about 610.9056 well that was Tuesday....I was eating many 12.7272's last night in the version of mint chocolate chip and egg nog. ooppppssss

Kathy that was just evil with the spices. Think like this, how long does it take me to burn that number of calories. Walk for 2 hour to burn 1 kiss......sooooooo start walking off what you already ate. SF chocolate pudding is so much better.

Since you are newly banded, I would suggest Atkins Advantage 20grams of Protein. Don't stress about getting all your protein in right now. You will be able to in about 3 weeks. unjury which you order on line also has 20 grams and they have an unflavored protein you can desolve in your broth. http://unjury.com/

Yeah LSasha you are real angelic....:cross-eye ...ouch I tripped over.....is this your pitch fork.....girl pick it up.

Wednesday Breakfast dry cheerios 1/4 almonds lunch Nadda dinner 2 chicken wings fish sandwich Snack ice cream cake Thursday Breakfast 3 sausage 2 string cheese light apple juice 8 jr mints I'm having issues today. I'm eating everything.

My traditional 2 cents, Gas X. Congratulations on your new band.

Oh wow the next meeting will be right after a fill.....no tall or short cake for me. Hey Karen you are too sweet as I have said before. We all admire you for what you are doing and standing up for others who may not be able to. Keep up the good fight. How is Breakfast coming along.....did I see a cappicino in your pocket? Good Morning Stocky.

I had shortcake instead of tall cake remmber. I wasted money trying to be good and get that salad. I'll save money next time and just get the shortcake. LOL We are going Saturday to celebrate my pookies birthday at 1. Let me know if you want to go and I will tell you where.

What do you mean tall cake. I know you didn't have tall cake yesterday.:ogre

I think Kathy and Dianne covered it all.....but my personal 2cents is that getting banded was the best thing I have ever done. Most of us don't feel sick all the time...you will be able to eat less....feel better.....and make better food choices.....food will not HAVE to rule your life, but remember it will continue to be big part of it......this will not change your genetic code but you will be able to change your body which will change your mind set...you will not be starved and you will no longer be 300 pounds.... It is amazing what weight loss does to the human spirit. Seeing pounds come off and even more so the fit of your clothes and even more then that the energy that comes from shedding fat. You just feel diffrent...you begin to realize you are doing things that you have not done in quiet a while. Then you gain confidence to do something that you have never done. It is an amazing feeling. You know loosing weight is not easy no matter how you do, surgery or no surgery. It is the end results and maintenance is a part of that. The band helps you to control your portions which help you to achieve what has been unatainable. Good Luck get a head start "Live Like You're Banded"

Okay I'm evidently eating too much. I gained 2 pounds:eek:and needless to say I am not very happy about that. I'm going to blame it on the bread. I don't normally eat bread but I have been eating rolls, potato rolls and I made my stuffing with rolls. UMMMMMM oh yeah let's not forget about the pineapple upside down rolls and cake. What was I thinking....oh yeah I wasn't:(. Well I guess the scale did it's job because I will not be eating sun chips today. I will be going to pick up some more slim fast and stuff for a wonderful salad.

YESSSSSS, WHEN I CAN'T EMOTIONALY EAT LIKE I WANT TO. That darn bands keeps me in control everytime. Dag it!!

Oh Prclndoll, I'm sorry you have to go through this but children are resilient. He will be ok, he has all of your love. ((((((((BIG HUGGGGSSSS)

When you are on mushies, your fluids are still a priority. It is sometimes difficult to get the fluids in when you are eating solids so plan accordingly. 30 minutes before you eat and 1 hour after is a great rule to follow. Keep up the great work. Don't forget about sugar free popsicles.

Call me when you get me back. You will do just fiine. "Fill Virgin"

The port area is tender for quiet a while. It took me a long time to be able to sleep on my stomach. Call your doctor anytime you have questions, they don't mind. I think this is a great forum to understand what is going on with the band also.

Yes mam, that's a 10/4.

Did you see what Corinne had. She is being real good. Stocky you know I will let you know. What time is your appt LSasha?

No Tanya not the.....ahhhhhh....running away.....burning calories......I just wanted something sweet, I put water in it. You just mad because you got a fill yesterday. LOL I need one, I go on the 8th. Hey today is the day for LSasha to get filled up. Hey LSasha PB...PB...PB...PB (chanting) you can do it. I will let you know where we are going Saturday for lunch also in case you want to join. You guys can get a cup of tea.

I love my band and I would not be where I am right now 4 months out from surgery. Hopefully, still 50 pounds lighter when I get on the scale tonight. LOL I have all that comes with losing 50 pounds, feeling better, healthier, confidence and the security of knowing that my band is adjustable and or removable if necessary. Good Luck!!!!
