Haha that seems to be a big goal for all of us, scantily clad outfits on the beach hehe. When were all skinny we'll meet up for a sexy beach party hahaha, even though looking at all of our cities I don't think we could all be more spread out from each other lol

I loved the morphine, although at the hospital I was at, I had 6+ injections for anti nausea into my iv, 2 in my stomach, and a patch, then after surgery I had an injection into my iv of anti nausea meds once an hour, they were really prepared for any cases of nausea, I was blissfull, then when I got home and started on the percoset, I was super nauseous and felt awful until I stopped the percoset. Everyone reacts to different meds differently. Glad everyone is doing well now though!!! Congrats Seattlelight! I'm with you with the bikni thing!!!!!!!

Allison replied to gg2007BandSTAR's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I am a 40 DDD and I SWEAR by these bras!!!!!!!!!!! They are amazing, I bought three for about $100, so their not TOO expensive either, especially considering how great they are. They last really long too, just make sure you don't machine wash them. -
Weigh in... how much have u lost?
Allison replied to Southern Missy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I weighed myself today and was so happy that I'm down even more. Only 2 more pounds until I've lost 20 pounds total! I'm so thrilled with all this weight loss, but at the same time, everytime I see a Domino's Pizza commercial I start to cry!!!! I am reaaaallly missing food right now, especially since I'm still on liquids on hungry 24 hours a day :thumbup: -
Yeah I'm alright, I've been pretty much home bound too. I started school yesterday, the classes are really long since its summer courses. Sitting in that chair for 5 hours with one break was AWFUL! I think everyone in my class thinks I'm pregnant because my belly has always stuck out (you know, from being fat haha) but now its even more since its still swollen, and the insicions are still very very sore and tender, so I was sitting there holding my swollen belly moaning all day. Hahaha. I could really go for some solid food right now. I've been on the verge of tears thinking about not having pizza again. Right now I know is the hardest, I'm still sore and healing my insicions, yet at the same time barely getting more than 200 calories a day in so I have no energy. I can't wait to eat!!!!!!
-
ouch bandfan!!! I'm so scared about getting stuck! How do you get it back up??? I'm not even filled yet and I already had a one too many popsicle and "foamed" all of the popsicle up for like 15 minutes it was awful!!

Marijuana Use After Surgery
Allison replied to KBates's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hahahaha I'm so glad I just found this thread. I cut back 5 days before my surgery, my anasthesiologist (sp?) told me to just not smoke before my surgery. I had surgery last Thursday and took a couple hits Monday night, it helped with the pain SO MUCH!!!! I was joking that I was gonna call my doctor and suggest perscribing marijuana for pain management after surgery instead of liquid percoset. That stuff made me vsuper nauseous! Although the little coughing fit wasn't too fun, I held my stomach and it passed in a couple seconds. The hours of no pain and fun with my friend were worth it lol. -

Hey I was also banded on the 29th! Congrats on the weight loss!! -
Haha I know what you mean, I love changing my bandages just because it feels so good to rip them off.

Thats an awesome goal!!!! I need to start thinking of some good goals. I have a couple lame ones, nothing that really compares to that lol... When I hit my goal weight, I want to get more of a tattoo I have on my back worked on, I've always wanted to add to it, but I can't. Its takes up most of my lower back and some of my upper toosh lol, I want to add more going up my back, but I have these big ol' rolls in the way! lol. I also would love to wear a bikini in public. The day I look good in a bikini (and that day will come, at any cost lol) I'm only wearing bikinis from now on. Should get some interesting looks hahaha. Oh and the messing with mens heads? Hahaha I already got started on that! Hopefully I will just have more options hahaha. Juuust kidding :eek: I'm a nice girl tehehe
-
Hey there!!!! We got banded on the same day!!!! I know what you mean, I would love to chew something!!!!!!!!!!

Allison replied to gg2007BandSTAR's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hahaha its ginormous next to most of my "small B" friends. If your a 34J, wont implants make you even bigger?? A DDD where you want to be is probably a lot smaller than a J lol. -
Haha Drew, 80s in March?? I went skiing in March, and again in April... lol, and it was FREEZING up in the mountains in Western Mass.

When you pack your own Snacks to bring to parties and your friends houses, such snacks include a Water bottle, 3 or 4 crystal light to go packs, your own spoon, and a 6 oz. yogurt that will last you all night. That reminds me! I left my spoon at my friends house last night! Damnit!

Hey there! No I don't have msn or anything like that. I have AIM but never ever go on it. Feel free to pm me or message me on this thing anytime!!! I'd love to keep in touch

My mom calls me every other day asking if she can tell so and so and blah blah blah. I asked her not to tell anyone, she told her whole office without my permission because she though they needed to know why she needed the day off (the day of my surgery) She told her mother without my permission, but I didn't care about that one. And then while I was on a liquid diet, my family went on vacation with all my cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents. And well she had to explain why I was on the liquid diet.... A lot of my friends who know have told their moms and siblings. I hate how when you tell someone something private, they think that it still means they can tell their families and significant others. I know these people might have found out eventually, but it still pisses me off.

Ugh yeah the day I got home from the hospital my dad opened our pool!! Its been in the high 80s all week and I've been sitting in my bedroom looking at our nice, clean, cool, refreshing pool. He spent all his time opening the pool he didn't have time to put in the window air conditioners we have. Awesome

I have no idea, I'm hoping on my follow up appoinment on, er, June 11th I think?? Ha I guess I should double check. If he doesn't do it I'm going to ask him to because they are really itchy and I would like to have to stop changing my bandages after every shower. I wish he had just used glue I don't think my incisions are bigger than anyone elses, I guess every surgeon has their preferences. Good luck with getting yours our! I have and have had a lot of piercings, (ears, tongue, belly button (like three times lol) and nose) and I have 2 tattoos, ones really big and takes up a lot of my lower back, so I'm pretty good with pain, but I'm still not looking forward to it. Good luck!!!
-
Ouch about all the staples Shannon!!! I think I only have about 20, I have about 9 or 10 in the bigger incision and 2 or 3 each in the smaller ones. Staples are gross I can't wait to get them out. Good to know you are doing well even though your surgery was more invasive than planned. Congrats!!
-
I'm not sure but I think its whenever you feel comfortable and energetic enough. There are plenty of positions that don't require you to do much work lol, so you would probably be fine as long as you don't put a lot of weight or strain on your belly.
