sugar free jellybelly's? $2.99 having a man tap dance on your tongue with doo doo drawers on? priceless ok I went too far, but you all are cracking me up!

I have a 7 year old bull mastiff named isis!

Maybe I'll keep my office door closed and tell the secretary that if anyone asks to tell them that I am "pumping"- Gotta feed the baby lol

slim: I think I was just weary of drinking my meals the last six days. I also ventured out today and passed so many fast food places but could not stop. I'm smart enough to know what's best for me I guess its just natural. I am undoing years of bad habits almost instantly( I didn't have a preop diet) so I think that my lil moment was normal. I am actually not caring about food as I am typing this. I will just take that part of it day by day. I am feeling so much better. Tomorrow I am back at work where I will hear all of the fake " I missed you" my secretary txt me today and said that when they asked she told them that I had a baby and that I didn't even know that I was pregnant. Now that was hella funny! No one knows I had wls. I told my boss that it was my hernia- a half truth. Not his beeswax

Hey slim, hang in there girl. I had a few last suppers myself and now being on the other side, I can't remember what they tasted like (could be that this bland post op diet has caused taste bud amnesia.) I even think that I mourned food a little today-it was sad like a double funeral. But I am just asking God to give me strength. It will get better...

Make sure you take it easy after surgery and listen to your body. My surgery was on Tuesday and I had made arrangements to go back to work today (Monday) but I am not going until tomorrow. I will I could have had this done this summer before school started. I hate the idea of going back with staples still in my belly and itchy incisions!

Hey girl, glad to see you back! Congrats on the weight loss. I was just banded 6 days ago but I want a nice elliptical machine at home. I am also going to start walking and then spinning classes.

Its an interactive video game. I want a Wii and a wii fit. That would be way more productive than playing my son's psp!

Since your band will be with you for a very long time, what will you name her? I think I might go with "Beyonce" I'll just call her "B" for short. So my short conversations would go kinda like this: "Beyonce is working this weight off of me" "B" is trippin' (when I'm pbing)" "Beyonce" won't let me eat that" "This is not in B's diet plan" ROFLMAO! (I got inspiration for this thread from another forum)

Linus has been very good to you!

I felt the same way. Try straining chicken noodle Soup or campbells soup at hand. That's what I did and it was way more delicious. I couldn't stand the smell of broth, even Emeril's.

Hi Choosie. Its a pleasure to meet you. You will find a lot of support here. It seems that there are a lot of Texas ladies here and even mor from the south. I am fyom bham born and raised but I am not familiar with sand mountain. Anywhoo I look forward to reading your posts.

hey girl, I haven't seen the issue yet. Listen don't worry about what people think. Monique did what is best for her and now you are doing what's best for you. I hope that she is successful long term. I know I have gained and lost the same 30 pounds the past 7 years. So keep your head up and do you. Besides you do realize that there was probably a tad bit of photoshop involved in her cover pic. I ain't hating, I swear ...

hmmm... I had a #2 day 2 after surgery. It is now day 5 and I haven't had another one since. Maybe I'll drink some warm apple juice.

I am on full liquids until day 15. I can't have pudding or cream of wheat but I can have yogurt which has been my saving grace. I eat tomato soup, creamed soups like broccoli and cheese. Cream of chicken and herb is delicious. It kinda tastes like thanksgiving turkey and dressing/stuffing. I also have to get my protein in by drinking shakes. I can have jello and sugar free ices and Popsicles. I have a realize band so its installed with no fill. I don't have restriction but if I drink too fast it hits me a few minutes later. I start burping and feeling tight in the chest. I am also learning to listen to by body to know the difference between real hunger and head hunger. During this post op phase I am allowed to sip all day and not eat on a set schedule. But I don't want to get in the habit of constantly putting something up to my mouth.

indigogirl you look Great! Your weightloss is such an inspiration. I love love love fashion so I can't wait until the day comes when I can post my own fashion show. Thanks for sharing.

way to go hhuckle! Have you lost 25# since surgery? Or is that including preop diet?

"Dear diary, recent events have led me to believe that some people can't take a hint. I don't want to address them much less any issues that they may present, factual or otherwise. It is good to see that some of my sentiments ( attack the issues) from my earlier posts have caught on. However, I can't help but ask the age old question " how do you shoo a fly?" Thanks Diary for listening.

You are allowed to do what you want. Just as I am allowed to comment on people that try to pick a fight in every situation. Now there I go opening the door to a confrontation- how do I fall for such tricks?! :April backs out of the door slowly while looking for an innocence bystanding poster to throw out in front on her as a diversion :

indigogirl I totally understand what you meant by the post that you directed towards ME. Unfortunately it was hijacked in an attempt to discredit someone else. Some people will look for a fight even in the midst of peace and understanding. As I said in an earlier post-" lord have mercy ." BTW indigogirl I wish I was financially able to donate to charity a fraction of what each candidate has given. God bless the giver. Period.

absolutely. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime! I can't wait for the debates as well. Although I have to admit watching the ladies tear mccain a new one on the view was great post op recovery entertainment. I now envy stay st home moms ( with lipstick of course) they get to see all of the daytime action!

congratulations algirl! Keep us posted. I know that you have waited so long for this to happen!

It's the morning of day four and things feel better. I am not in as much pain or as gassy. I am actually at the hair salon. I was kinda worried about coming this morning. But I blended some roasted corn chowder and packed it away in my cute pink metal Stanley thermos. I also have some v8 splash. That should keep me satisfied until I get home. I know that I am not getting enough Protein. That's probably why I am so hungry. I am going to work on that today. I have several mixes that I am going to try out. Ttyl. Btw. I am thinking about starting a blog. Any suggestions? I know lexy has a fierce one!
