Hay rainbow, I was just changing some stuff in my profile and notice that there was a post on this thread, it is has been over a year since this thread was started, lol. I think we have taken over some of the threads that the guys have started. lol

:bored (crickets chirping here)

hey wadew, use that shrink, I did not have that and it took me a long time to get over food it was my best friend. I got my band and did not think about the psychological effects that it would have on me. It was a struggle for me, it took a little over a year for me to get over it. My problem was that I loved to cook, still love it, but I have pulled back on it and found other things to do. I could not believe how much my life was center around food. Hang in there it will be tough but you can get through it, I did and if I could any one can.

Juli so sorry for your gf loss, our hearts go out for you, her and the family. Kity the honeymoon phase what is that again? lol Hope everyone is doing well.

I have 6cc in my band, and have a good restriction, the doc. in Mexico are a little more aggressive in the fills the the doc in the us. some say that is not good others say it not. but who knows. You will need to have more fill and I know when I got my second fill it took a few weeks to kick in.

welcome home Kity and afrykanvyloet, glade that you both had a nice weekend, I stayed home with my dw and put tile in the bathroom, and worked in the back yard. Having a retirement party for one of my employees next weekend so getting ready for that. So much work and not enough time. It is never ending.

I know I was hearing the crickets chirping over here also, So rainbow how is that fill going for you? are you feeling a tighter restriction yet?

Hey Eddie, the wine went down really nice, to nice lol Now beer, it gets hot before I can get a half bottle down so I don't even touch it any more. It took me all day to rehydrate myself and could not eat at all. So fellow lapbanders learn from my mistake. Don't over do it on the booze.

I hate getting fills for the same reason, I did a bad thing last night had to much wine.:sick, oh yeah, It was not pretty. I have just been trying to get water down today, because I got so dehydrated have not had anything to eat, I guess that is a good thing. So next time I will be really careful I will share one bottle of wine not two. lol Everyone have a good holiday weekend.

Nice Rig Eddie, enjoy your shakedown weekend, is your rig a gas or diesel pusher and how many slides. Yes I have had problems in editing, I got so pissed that I deleted the post and started over, and this is the second time that I have tried to add this post.

oh my my my. LOL

Hay Eddie, I am a big RV nut, We have a 29' travel trailer and yes I pull it with a big bad a$$ truck, lol . We are looking into trading it in for a class A for two reasons, 1. I can drive for hrs, my partner does not like to ride for a long time so if she could go lay down we could cover more ground. We also ride quads so when we go out to ride and make a weekend trip of it we have to take two vehicles. Ok I will stop because I love to go out and camp. Won't be coming to FL. for gay days this year.

Hay Rainbow, The food I am able to eat is still very limited, I can eat some red meats as long not over cooked good thing I like it rare, pork it also can not be overcooked, the key for me is very small and chew. Tonight was fish and a 1/2 bake potato. I try to get veggies down but they don't do really well. a bite or two and that is enough. Anyway, Sandy and I live up in the Hi-Desert. Hesperia, I use to work in Fontana and Cucamonga.

hay baybee, I went to edit my first reply and end up deleting it, and had to re do the darn thing.:help: I think you was the only one to see it. hehehehe. take care have a great day everyone.:clap2:

How did I miss this thread? I guess I was busy keeping up with the one on the California thread, anyway it is nice to come and find another comfy (hijacked from baybee) thread. Me and my partner have been together for 15 yrs. We got to comfy with each other if you know what I mean and put on the weight, we was big when we first met, but as the years add up so did the weight. We are both banded so it has been really great that we are both going through this together. She is the one that found out about the band and convinced me for us to have it done. I am so happy that we have done this. Anyway, I am looking forward to hanging out here with all my GLBT friends.

:clap2: Hay Bandstar I just want to say thanks for starting this thread, I don't know why no one thought of this before? But I am happy that you did. :hail: It gives us a place to come and be comfy as baybee has stated.

Welcome wadew1976 and baybeeg00,looking forward to chatting with you both, keeping fingers crossed that everything goes well and that you both are able to get the band. I don't think you will regret getting it. Wade I know what you mean about people who think they are fat when they have only a few lbs to lose.

You do have your own support system, that is what we are here for. To help each other. This board has helped me in so many ways that I could not even begin to tell you. I have not been a real active poster on the boards but I have been around watching and reading. and by far this is my favorite thread.

Willing to share anytime Rainbow, lol I had surgery in Nov. of 05, My last fill was in July of 06, I have a 10cc band and have 6 cc in. My highest weight was 272, weight on day of Surgery was 258, today I am at 177. I would like to lose about another 32 lbs and then I should be good to go. Hope to make it by the holiday season.

Welcome Rainbow, jsrico, and loveinmypedro, I am happy to see more joining our little happy group. Rainbow to answer your question, it has been so long since I had my last fill that I don't remember. When I get a feeling like my band is pinching me, it is because I need to have a bm, it then goes away. I know TMI. lol jsrico, congratulations on getting your loan, hope all goes well with the Dr.

Ok Cherry Good Luck:clap2: And when you find Skinny in a Bottle, let me know so I know where to go and get some:D

Makes you want to go Hummmmmmmm, I also have a 10cc band and have 6cc in. It took about a month after having the last fill before it finally hit full force. I was also tight in the am, then be a little lose in the pm, when I get a uncomfortable feeling like at the bottom of my throat I stop. I do not push any more down. Wait about a month before trying to get another fill. Good Luck and hang in there

Anytime Cherry, Let me know how your first fill goes. I had to have two fills before mine started to kick in and then it was about a month after the second one before it hit.

Cherry, believe me when you get the right amount of fill it will be worth it, you have to remember the the band is a tool to help you. The pounds will drop. I drop about 3 or 4 lbs a month I am happy with that. My partner is at a stand still, so she needs to get a fill, so we will be setting up an appointment for her to get a fill, who know I may need one then. So don't get discouraged, I know, I was like that in the beginning when she was losing and I wasn't. Hang in there.

Welcome kity. Wishing you much successes with your new tool. My partner and I both had it done it at the same time. It is funny how it has worked for the both of us, she lost a lot in the beginnning had one fill, now she is at a stand still needs to have a fill. I had to have two fills and I am losing about a 1lb a week right now. WE are so happy that we had done this.
