LOL Thanks my friend. *hugs** I had to eat a lot yesterday to keep my sugar up. SO I am assuming the low blood sugar side effect won't go away with time? I am wondering if I should wait it out???? It *felt* a lot like my blood sugar crashes. I actually started to feel a brightening already and my thoughts weren't negative and obsessive for a day WOW. ANd I actually felt my libido rising from the grave after 20 years. GASP. So I'd like to keep taking it. But passing out from low blood sugar is a deal breaker for me.

That's terrible to feel that pain and not know. Call the doctor and let us know how you are.

Desertmom, you and I sound the same in the location of the pain. Mine comes after eating though. I tried again to have a meal of solids yesterday. To see if my band had opened and calmed down enough. But I got the pain, even after eating slowly. Maybe I need to keep on soft foods until I lose more weight and lossen the thing up. I don't know. I really hope this pain isn't forever.

Okay, this is going to sound really odd, but I'm on day 2 of the Prozac and I kind of feel like I did onthe paxil. It started lifting me but my blood sugar feels low. I know it's so soon and I'm only taking 2.5 but I'm very sensitive to stuff. I am also naturally very hypoglycemic, so it's not a good thing.

Dovie, sounds like a UFO experience to me. His reaction is classic response to such an event. This may sound crazy but I know real people who are very sane and down to earth that have seen them too.

This is really great. And so helpful to those having issues with them. -
I have a few. These are the foods I love, crave and have no control over: 1.Chocolate. Not chocolate ice cream or anything else. I'm talking pure solid milk chocolate candy. 2. mashed potatos. Creamy, salty buttery goodness. 3. cake and cupcakes. From scratch. Not a box. Home-made or a really good bakery. 4. macaroni and cheese and any kind of Pasta dish. 5. My famous huge warm from the oven chocolate chip Cookies

Yup, too dark and your dehydrated. You actually want your pee to be light.

My Barium swallow pics, does this look like a slip?
NeenBand replied to pati-o's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Wow. That looks tighter than mine did right AFTER surgery when they took me in for my test. I was watching it on screen. I just don't understand why a doctor would not help someone in need, justbecause you did not start with them. It makes no sense to me. Let's hope you find a kind and compassionate surgeon Pati-o -
Wow Janet, that was so helpful. Really. People say slow down, but when you inhaled food before, slowing down is all relative, you know? I need thinks spelled out for me. It's the way my brain works.

Melody, I'm so sorry I didn't see your post. Someone said take a tablespoon with water (and some lemon juice if you have it). Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I'm glad your feeling better. it's a scary feeling I KNOW.

Eileen, the same thing happened to me too, on ZOloft! Three days after starting it, the walls began to breathe in and out and my partner's face turned into an evil clown face. It was frightening. The pills are small as I'm on a baby dose.

Thanks for your responses, it gives me some hope about this drug as I have read some horror stories about it. I do have Fibromyalgia, so hopefully it will work on that. I started taking it yesterday. I'll keep you posted!

Deleting a thread Poll
NeenBand replied to princess_n_thep's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I voted. The only issue that might come up is if someone quotes the thread starter. In that case a private PM to them to remove the quote would be in order. -
I actually think this is a good move. Unfortunately, because of some people abusing the delete option, we have to have a mod delete a thread or post. If you need a post deleted for whatever reason, you can ask a mod to do it. And we can edit our posts.I think this makes sense and isn't a big deal.

I'm one month out too. I can't feel mine with my hands either. I can feel it when I laugh or move a certain way though. I know it's there, but like you I can't see or feel it otherwise.

Melody, The first day I went to solids I had that feeling. The food just layed in my pouch .IT was uncomfortable and I was nervous. IT stayed there for hours and hours. I woke up at 5 am and came to the board to see what I could do. SOmeone said take meat tenderizer, get on all fours with your head down, drink hot tea. I did it all and went back to bed. I woke up having it pass through finally.

I hope we don't lose the edit button. If they want to take out the delete button, that's another story. But this forum will not survive my dyslexia. Edit is my friend and yours people!:Banane56:

p.s. I just thought I'd let you all know one of my hobbies is actually a paranormal investigator aka Ghosthunter. I have conducted my own private ones, by myself or with a couple of others and belong to an organization here in NJ. I have some EVP and photographic experience from a home recorder and digital camera used in various places. I have been feeling, seeing and hearing ghosts since childhood. I'm not a "psychic" like the ones you see on TV,I'm no Derek Acora, but the years has really tuned me into feeling or sensing different energies, feelings, get impressions, etc. I am one that likes to make sure what I'm experiencing can't be debunked or explained by some other naturally or artificially occurring phenomenon. In other words, I want to make sure what I am experiencing is real, and not something else. :-) I like the validation from the techno side. I think it's great to have a balance of the two in an investigation. I've had some of my experiences and some of my true ghost stories published . The internet, in books like Coast to Coast Ghosts, Weird Nj and a upcoming book called Animal Spirits. One was was televised on local cable and I've done some public speaking, lectures and been on the radio about this stuff.. My interest and fascination with this phenomenon began in childhood and has never waned. If anything, it gets stronger. I want to know why, how and where. Why things are happening and find out details to a haunting. I want to help people and help them understand and not be afraid. Above all, it's about helping others.

Excuse me miss, but is that dancing banana naked?

I'm so glad this thread helped you Melody. Were you eating too fast too, or do you think your band is just not ready for solids?

How's this?

Paula, I love the story about your son's angel. I'd love to hear more angel stories. ABout a year ago, I got pancreatis from a bad gallbladder. I was so sick and also afraid t'd get chronic pancreatitis. One day, I was thinking about it a lot, while waiting for diagnosis and I was praying for someone else and I heard a voice say to me "Your going to be allright" And I was. But when I heard that voice, I knew it was angelic and I knew thenI would be okay. One other time I had an angelic intervention was I was at a dinner party. During the day I had lit a candle, and my memory is so foggy since getting fibromyalgia. I was laughing and having a great time and I heard a voice, clear as a bell (it was the same male voice I heard above) say "You left the candle burning". I stopped in mid sentance. Got to my feet and left everyone at the table. I drove home at 70 miles an hour (we were about 30 min away) and came in the door just in time to see the candle a tower of flame, wax dripping onto the table aflame and the floor starting to go on fire. My cats were afraid and hiding. If that voice had not said that, that moment. I would have lost everything and killed my cats. I am sure as anything that was angelic intervention.
