Hi Dody; you could be suffering from "Plantar Fasciitis", an inflammation of one of the tendons on your foot. Before you go and buy some expensive insoles or orthotics, please find a good physical therapist and have them tape your foot. If it works you will know it immediately and if not then too. A good PT can even teach you how to tape yourself. It would be worth a trial.

Hey Carla, where are YOU????? Is everything going OK? Let us please know

So do I- and now my computer tells me my message is to short- I just can't win today!

I FEEL SO STUPID

So that's what's happenin'.... I was wondering and blaming the plant out front my house - somebody once called it B**h?

Hello everybody; I'm not sure if I have seen a thread on this or not- but i still have to ask: Of all you bandsters out there that have lost sooooo muuuuuch weight- did your shoe size go down too? I would so love to get out of my size 12's . lol :faint:

Don't let a "Board with a wart" ruin your day! The "Little etti bitti titti comittee" was just jealous.

Diane, don't you go and make your live miserable now. It is your live and absolutely your choise with what and where you do what to your body- your husband supports you that is all that matters. In no way do you have to appologize to your in laws- they are extremely rude to think you have to ask their permission on how to run your live or make your choises about your health- who do they think they are? :angry And as for your kids- they will miss their grandparents thats true- but they will not miss the way your IL are treating their mother. Do not ever feel guilty for having made the choice on going to Mexico - you are doing great - be proud of yourself. For in the future- handle things on a "Need to know" basis - and your IL do NOT NEED TO KNOW! Just my 5 cents.

Sleep well- you are going to be in band land before you know it! :clap2:

I have the capsules of Gas Ex and I just poke a hole in one and take the liquid out- doesn't taste bad and works much faster! But don't try that with the Colace Stool softerners. I had to spit for 2 hours and could not get that nasty taste out of my mouth and throat. :faint:

Penni60 - you crack me up! :faint: lololol

Hello to everybodyout there in this fantastic world! I did it - I got my band this morning! :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: I'm still a little sore but otherwise not doing to bad, just some movements are a little tougher than others. Can sip- Water, broth and Isopure (FruitPuch - juck!) and so far- so good. Will keep you guys informed on the next couple of days. :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: Doing the (slow) Happy dance! :) :Banane45: :Banane45: :Banane45: :bananapartyhat: :huggie: :huggie:

Will dig it out and let you know! Congrats to your first sooo important step to a new life. YOU CAN DO IT!

Has anybody heared on how DonnaB is doing after her surgery in Mexico? Hope you are doing well!

Hurray - at least your surgeon knows what she is doing! Congrats!

Whooop Whooop Ashlee! Congrats from me to you- hope you are doing as well as I am !:clap2: :clap2:

Oops Kathy - changed it - thanks for reminding me- think it still needs some getting used too! Yeeepeee ! :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

Hi ccfrog4u; congrats to your date too! They have me show up there at 5:30 in the morning.. I'm contemplating on just staying up.... :nervous lol Just got a call from my anesthesiologist- seems to be a nice guy.

Whooohooo, happy dance, etc.... I got my surgery date today. My new life will begin next Tuesday March 7th; I can't tell you how thankfull I am to everybody here on the board for the absolutely great job you are all doing. Everybody is a fountain of band knowledge and I think it's great that everybody is so willing to share the good and the bad of bandland. Without you I could not have made an educated decision and who knows what would have happened in a few years. So please, take my sincere thanks - and Celebrate with me and Protein drinks, protein rich foods and the good old - chew, chew, chew....:confused: :clap2: :confused: :clap2: :confused: :clap2:

Wow, Ralheit; we're going to be band sisters!!!! I'm getting it done tomorrow too at 8 am. Good luck to you- maybe we can compare after pains . lol :clap2: :clap2:

:welcomeB: :welcome2: :welcomeB: Halloechen Sigrid- schoen das du zu uns gefunden hast - wo in Deutschland bist du denn? Hi Sigrid - nice that you found our forum- from where in germany are you? Are you also on the german magenband forum? Where in germany did you get your band? Did you insurance pay for it or did they make you jump through hoops as so many tell on the german forum? Ich werde mein magenband am Dienstag bekommen und bin im moment in der "Nur fluessiges" phase. Hope to hear more from you - Willkommen! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Hello, just my 5 cents. I'm not banded yet- but will be in 1 1/2 days - yeeepeee; when I went to my surgeons first visit, the point that he really stressed was to start taking Protein as long before the surgery as we can - most times we are on the low site of that anyway - but his theory is to build up the protein level in the body before surgery as well as we can. This will help after surgery as our body already had time to do some "repair" before we really needed it. Sounded got enough to me - I have been on a protein smoothy every day since the end of January and I think (?) I'm feeling better. (Maybe it's just in my head :eek: -ahem ... stomach) lol

Way to go letha_g!

Dear Delarla; PLEASE, PLEASE don't ever let anybody tell you to stop!

Thank you , thank you , thank you , so there is hope! Yeeepeee!
