Cool, I started a new MD thread.

Sign up in the Lounge if you want to join. Also, I am willing to help put together a Saturday lunch for us Maryland Bandsters. We can just go to a restaurant somewhere in the Laurel area.

WOW That shoulder pain is crazy. I had it for weeks 2 days after surgery. So many people had it and for most of us it is related to be banded and gas. Gas X helped me tremendously.

Awwww no Vines it's ok I will share my turkey, chicken, cow, pig and I forgot what I had. LOL ....... Pass the glass please......

Good Luck Busywoman, we do understand.

Sugar Free pudding was my saving grace in the second week and potato soup. I really didn't do the broth but SF popsicles were the best. Eileen you are doing great just keep moving forward.

Hey Michelle, since you will be intown, we will have to do somthing about that. Ladies I am available on 13 and the 19 if you guys want to get together. Wow Michelle you have lost a person. I cant wait for that day, so far I have lost a toddler. LOL

Been there done that.....see the t shirt. LOL It's normal but I understand you just don't want to do it. Write down everything you eat. Are you drinking enough water? Be sure not to drink and eat at the same time. I found that if I started my day with a protein shake it help to curb my appitite and when I did eat I made sure I had sugar free. What are you eating? Sugar Free popsicles are a life saver, not so many calories and sweet tooth satisfying.

He's nervous because he is going to have to clean the house. LOL Be sure to act as pitiful as possible. Don't let him know how good you really feel after surgery. You are going to feel like you did a lot of cruches and full of gas. Be sure to walk, walk, walk.

I was told no acid for 2 the first 2 weeks. Be sure to check the food thread for food stages. Happy to hear you are doing well.

You guys are sick, didn't you hear the man.....EXIT ONLY..... Glad you are moving freely Bandman.

You guys are crazy...pregnant cow....LMBO....

You have to keep your water with you at all times and sip, sip, sip, sip all day. You may need to need to warm up your beverage to help it to go down smoother. Everyone is diffrent on how much they can tolerate at what point. It took weeks to be able to drink comfortably. Keep track of how much you are taking in and let your doctor know.

That's no fun to be stranded on an island so I will see you when you get back. I will be eating scrambled eggs cheese grits pig cow turkey chicken beans cabbage beano

Nykee I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. I use to go all the time from everything but now I go like normal people do. As far as the pee I am up 2 or 3 times a night to go. Bandman I hope you got some help by now. But is sounds like you are at the enema or suppoistory stage and then take stool softeners in the future to avoid this again. If you don't have anyone to do it I will volunteer my services.

My Genre good luck and see you on the other side soon. Band Land is pretty nice.

Beans are good and good for you. They are full of protein and gas. LOL Be sure to use some Beano on them. They go down well, just chew well and eat slowly. I have never gotten stuck off of beans.

You go Carrie, wear those 18's. NSV...hummm....what is that..... just kidding. I will have one next week because I am going to exercise everyday this week.

How about November 26, Saturday, Red Lobster in Laurel 12pm Is that date and time good? Let me know.....

LOL that is funny, just as long as your pants don't fall off in public. I'm waiting for my pants to fall off, I'm excited about seeing them fall off. LOL Congratualtions you guys, you are doing it. Slow and steady is the answer.

LMBO yeah get back to that tuna. LOL Seafood should be a safe bet for us. It's a shame so much of our lives is centered around food.

Thank you Mr. Bubble Butt I mean Mr. McGregor.

Nykee I went to the store yesterday and I didn't get the 14 donuts for $2. I was given steaks that were priced at 2.99 a pound and a $2 coupon and I was able to say no. Yeahhhh me. My basket was so empty I was wondering why was I there.

WOW I never saw this and I'm kinda glad. It is wonderful!!!! Thank You

Of course you are not being crazy. You know how you feel. Acid Reflux is a common side effect after LBS. Today is Friday you should call and inform your doctor, just in case he needs to take some of the fill out come Monday or he can prescribe something. Did you do liquids for a day or 2 after the fill and soft and mushies after that?
