I have heard that it is tighter in the morning because your esophagus swells at night. But I don't know if that's true or not.

Well this month is our 1 year bandiversary! How is everyone doing? I am so close to onederland I can taste it!

Congrats to you! I am right there with you. My scale said 202 yesterday and I couldn't believe it!

It will be a year for me the 22nd. I have lost slow, but I don't care, I am just happy that I have spent a year losing instead of gaining! The holidays were really tough for me this year and I didn't lose anything for about 3 months. But I have really kicked up my exercise and I am losing again. I totally understand where you all are coming from about other people's comments. No one at work knows I have the band and I heard one coworker say what a bitch I was to have lost so much weight! I couldn't believe she said that! I used to be the biggest girl in the office, but not anymore!

It will be a year for me the 22nd of this month and I totally agree with you about the sugar!

Yes, I agree. Britney is working very hard to regain custody of her children back. She has made a lot of mistakes, but at least she realizes it and is doing something about it. She has had some mental issues, but at least she is getting help and not denying that she has a problem unlike Octomom, who thinks what she's done is perfectly all right.

Hey! I like Britney Spears! Let's not bring her into this! LOL!!!!

Becky, I live in TN too so I know what you are talking about! My husband calls a tow truck a 'record'. It drives me nuts!!

I had an appointment for my 1 year followup for the 28th and they had to change it as well. I am supposed to go for a fill and a followup on May 13, but now I don't really feel like I need the fill. I am going to wait and see how I do next week. Some days it is really tight and other days it is loose. So I don't know what to do...

Oh, I thought you meant you started eating normal right after surgery, LOL!

What about 'can you learn me something'? It's TEACH!!!

You shouldn't start eating normal foods too soon because it can cause your band to slip. It needs time to heal and attach good to your stomach. That is part of the reason for the liquid and soft food diets....

I'm with BJean on this one...

Popcorn does have some protein.

I don't know what's going on. Even this site seems really slow.

I have no problem with popcorn either. Everyone is different, you may or may may not have a problem with it. Some people have trouble with a lot of things, and some people like me have very little trouble. The only things that bother me are bread and french fries.

HA HA HA!!!!!!!!! I live in the South, what can I say?!! :laugh:

I have the same problem. I really need a fill now, but I am scared to get another one. I know what will happen.

What about 'stern wheel' for stirring wheel?!

That is a really odd story.

I was looking over a patient's chart at work the other day and one of the other nurses had written that the patient hadn't been seen since a year ago, but she spelled since 'cents'!

Nope, I am a pain in the ass that's annoyed by it too! I hate when people can't say me and I the right way. My sister and I went to the beach. Give the key to you and me. I got a work email the other day from the office manager and she had used those wrong. GRRRRRRRR!!

I haven't been getting emails either since yesterday.

I've been told that too when someone looks at old pictures of me. I hate it.

Yes, they are all home. The last one went home a few days ago I think.
