gone 4 ever

O.K. not 4 sure what is going on today, but if not better tomorrow will call dr. I have been blessed with a easy post op, until today. I am p.o. 3 weeks 1 day... woke up with a small twinge on left side between port scare and another scare from band. did'nt think a lot about it. went to store and almost passed out. came home cold and clamy and shakey, side starting to hurt bad.... drank protein shake felt a little better, but not real stable....was sitting in fav. chair when dd came over with grandkids...could'nt hardley get out of chair because of my side. have'nt sat in it since. had lunch, they left got shakes so bad could'nt hardley move without feeling like I would faint.....other dd gave me oj to drink...helped me to bed. 4 hrs later(now) still sore is now swollen...gas-x has'nt helped. still shakey. antone else have this problem? Thanks

Thank you all for your concern. I feel better this morning. The swelling is gone I am not dizzy or anything else. I did go ahead and eat some of my dd isecream last night. maybe my sugar was low. but anyway I am better..

O.K. I am used to cooking large meals. I have all my life. (started cooking when I was 6) My youngest daughter and her husband will be moving out in about 3 weeks. So I will finally have an empty nest. But I don't want to cook and freeze a lot of foods. The deep freezer is theirs so I won't have any real space to freeze anything in. So I was thinking about just doing lean cuisiene(sp) and things like that. Is anyone else going that rout? Is it working for you to loose the weight? Thanks.

I figured I would just do this once with sooo many getting banded this week......GOOD LUCK! Keep us posted. Prayers are with ya'll for a sake and speedy recovery.

Leigh, you are hysterical. I am glad the surgery went well! good luck with you journey

Christina, welcome. you haven't had a fill yet have you? You are in bandster hell. It will get better after you start getting fills. it might take a few fills before you notice a difference tho

I am having trouble also. It is a hard habit to break. I keep thinking that I will just put my Water in the fridge that way I won't be tempted....but still haven't done it yet.....I'm still having trouble about not drinking 45 min before/after.

Kiki, that is wonderful. It really helps when someone close understands. Good luck at getting everything set up. let us know how your doing o.k.

This is so awsome Jazzy and Maid Marion. Congrats 2 both of ya!

Hello band of hope. Who is your DR? I was banded 5/13/08 Can't wait till I start getting fills and hit my sweet spot! So have you started your insurance hoops yet or are you self pay? Let us know what happens. You can also post on introductions/ or pre-op questions. You will get a lot of answers there. Where in Bama are you from? I am Huntsville.

Foto....you sweetie are in what is called bandster hell. Until you have fills and hit your sweet spot just try to enjoy and not panick.

O.K. LUVVV the room. so what embarrasing things should we talk about first? How about... If I keep loosing weight in my boobs, I'll have to stuff them until I can afford new bras!:tongue::huh2: My undies are already slipping off so I had bought some before LB and have opened the pk. I feel good....Like I knew that I would...

I love the 2 names put together like that!

Where at in Alabama are you? I am from Huntsville. Who is your dr? Are you looking for a different dr?

Jana'a, It could still be gas. They pump us full of gas before the surgery and it moves around before it is all gone. But to be safe call your dr.! Good luck and let us know what it is, o.k.

Sorry this happened Sheemac. A lot of parents will teach their children not to make fun of handycapped people, but won't teach them not to make fun of overweight people. It is sad that parents don't think of it. My children and grandchildren know not to make fun of people. My middle daughter might of been 12/13 when I overheard her and 1 of her freinds make fun of someone fat. I went off the deep end. I asked them if they would make fun of me and they said no because I was a mom! I had a lot of school tales to tell them...needless to say they both learned a valuable lesson that day. One of these days someone will make fun of them and they might remember some of the people they made fun of and feel remorse. Just remember won't be to long before your thin and you won't hear stupid people making fun of you.

I like Girls Gone Wild but here are a couple of songs Can't Touch This or I'm too Sexy

I can understand about anxious and restless. Not so much the panic unless I start trying to look to far ahead. I think because food has been such a big part in our lives that the thought of not eating as much and having our "shield" to hide behind that can be very scary. Good luck to you and it will get better.

Hello CharMD. It seems that a lot of people heal really quickly from LBS. So it might not be as hard as you think. Especially if you can get it before your partner has their surgery.

The best of luck YoungNY. My thoughts and prayers are with you tomorrow and the rest of your journey.

Hello all. I am wanting to get a Trykke. How do you all like it and do you think they are worth the price? Also any serious injuries? My kids and sister seem to think I will kill myself on it! I used to skateboard some when I was young. Nothing fancy but....I did'nt kill myself then!

Thank you both. I will be getting one before to much longer, but will have to waite till I loose a little bit more weight since they go by hiegth also and I am 4'10. I think they look like a blast! I really can't see me doing any stunts on it.....but hey I have been known to do stupid stuff!

Welcome and good luck!

I understand. I just called my Dr.s office to find out if I can mow my yard. I don't want to pay someone to mow it again. Good luck

I can empathize(sp) with you on the eating to fast. I am not on solids yet, but I worry I will eat to fast I have almost always had jobs where you eat between customers and you don't really chew your food. It is so ingrained in me that I am afraid I'll try it and get sick. So basically I am kinda afraid of going on solids now.
