YAY!!! Glad to see you made it!!! But GREAT now I HAVE to go to the meeting on the 20th at 10AM HAHHA kidding. I cant wait I havent been in so long and jason arent you proud I remembered the date and time

hahaha, yeah! I told ya I done forgot since I havent been there in forever!!!

HAHA, I havent been to a meeting in so long Ive forgotten what goes on but I am not missing this next one..push pull or drag I will be there at 1030....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually Ive got 2 bandsters (old friends of mine and I just found out they got banded): 1 girl is from my highschool I dont know if Ive talked to her about the meetings yet Another is an old college buddy her name is scarlett and shes really interested in the meetings. So hopefully we'll have some newbies come along!!

I know Im asking again but when is the meeting I have a new bandster who wants to come!!!

To be honest my energy level up until about January of this year was the pits...I was sleeping all the time and just felt soooo very tired. I had everything looked at, I was getting my protein but I was still just so tired...I guess my body was adjusting I dont really know but then after then I have felt GREAT....my doc gave me b12 injects to help even though my b12 level was fine and I increased my vitamins and I feel better much better now that I did before the surgery.

Thanks! Most days I dont eat much but friday evening I was hungry and actually wanted to eat and couldnt thats what makes it so frustrating but like yesterday I ate my grilled chicken NO PROBLEMS-its like each day its a completely different band. Its all good.

YAY, this challenge is starting off better for me...I havent been so lucky with eating these last few days so Ive dropped a couple of lbs!! 18 more 2 go It would be AWESOME if I could be under 200 before my trip in july !!!!

Oh you should know by now I wouldnt dare take this thing out...It just pisses me off sometimes....but then on the days when I dont have any problems I am thankful for it...I guess we have a love hate relationship...LOL Today is better...of course all I have had so far is 2 eggs....sooooo we shall see Im about to grill some chicken yum yum....I just wanna be able to eat some crab in July :thumbup:

WOW, congrats!!

I have BCBS and they made me have a pysch eval...I would call each plan is different!! On another note....I went to the doc last week and kinda wanted to get an unfill but he talked me out of it....so he started me on daily medication for the mild reflux probs that arose again and hes going to see me back the first week in july...well I had been doing great..able to eat a little and no throwing up until friday every since friday its like I cant stop getting sick....Friday I got sick with dinner like 3 times, saturday I ate a few bites for lunch ok but then dinner I got sicks like 3 times again....Im afraid to eat today........I was so upset friday night I told my husband I wanted this stupid band out.....he only put .2cc in for my last fill and talked like he couldnt go any lower than that.....so I guess in july I am having the .2cc taken back out.....hopefully I wont gain again! Well, Thanks for listening!

Ggrrrr. I just got my call schedule today and OF COURSE I am on call...I'll just get someone to cover hopefully!! I dont wanna be on the phone the whole time!

Im so JEALOUS!!!! I cant wait to see it. I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanna get another one. cant wait to see everyone.

I totally had to micromanage and make sure everything got sent in for my surgery. My doc told me I didnt have to have the psych eval because I didnt weight as much and he felt like I was stable....2 days before I completed my docs wt loss stuff I called insurance they said you HAVE to submit the psych eval, I got it done the next day and that SAME day the psych doc faxed my stuff to BCBS if I hadnt dont that I probably wouldnt have gotten banded when I did!! I called BCBS everyday after I found out they got everthing!!

You are so right I am currently at 7.20 cc in a 10cc band. I did have 7.5 I kept getting reflux he took out the .5 and I felt like I could eat the house, then he put in .2 its pretty much perfect!!! I could imagine how big a difference such a small amount could make. Dont get discourage it takes awhile to get it right look at me I am over a year out and still getting fills/unfills!!

Just trying to keep the link on the last page :drool::wub::crying:

HAHA! well, we're planning on swimming all day on sat or sunday one yall are welcome to come back!!!!

I think being there from 10-6 ppl will def get hungry......I think it wouldnt be a bad idea to cook and we can bring water, fruit trays, etc whatever ppl can eat Plus there will be ppl there than can eat reg food :wub: I dont know how expensive it is to eat there but Im sure its pricey

woo hoo this sounds like fun! Cant wait!!!!

It sounds like you need some taking out of your band. You may be too tight. Dont ignore reflux bc with the band it could mean something more serious is going on. But if you werent having it before and now it TOM it could be due to the hormone changes. I myself have a little reflux from time to time. The first time it happened my doc made me have a slight unfill, well I got half that fill put back in and its been ok until last night I took a med I hadnt taken since my last fill and started having reflux I blame it on the drugs and wont take it again!!

That sucks! Being a nurse myself I know that nurses are taught from day one to NEVER pass judgement or show emotion when a pt comes in telling something that the nurse doesnt agree in. So, that being said it would have been on for me! I would have def shown her some attitude right back. If shes that unhappy about being fat then she needs to do something about it instead of projecting her anger to her pts-I prob would have so gotten her fired, its unethical treatment of pts!!! How would she have reacted to the next pt that was 15yrs old was raped and wanted to have an abortion?!

No rules, you can weigh whenever you want. If you wanna weigh everyday and update or if you dont wanna weigh till the very end it doesnt matter whatever works best for you but yeah please put the info on the google spreadsheet that keeps it a lot easier!! And you can just click on the numbers on the google sheet that you wanna change. this keeps us from copying and pasting which is what we did before!!!:frown: GOOD LUCK!!!!

I was really inspired by the April fools day challenge and everyone was talking about another challenge to do..so I did a google and found a holiday kinda in between instead of doing a long stretch out to July 4th...June 1st is Donut Day! I thought it would be fitting since donuts are what may have gotten some of us to where we were preband! LOL So lets start the donut day challenge! I dont know how to put that chart on here like is on the April fools day challenge so anyone that wants to post that and get us started...lets roll!!:rolleyes2:

YAY!! FInally down a lb!!!

YAY! I finally lost another lb!!!!! I decided to weigh this morning I have been avoiding the scales for about 1 1/2 week now....:party:
