CLOE

Whooooo a nice big TV, Mandi. I had a nice big TV in my bedroom "my apartment",lol. But it also blew up in the storm in July, so I hooked up a stupid little one too. But I hate it cause the volume dosent go high enough when I'm on the treadmill. Keep trying to figure out the food thing, keep up the fight!!

Yoda.....I think I used the term "curve" in the road, but if you have humping on your mind.....hey, whatever works!!:laugh

My poor mandi:cry ..... what ARE you able to eat. Make sure your taking some sort of vitamins. I know it's frustrating, hang in there......on the bright side, you should be seeing some scale action soon.

"Best Wishes" Jude.

Gosh, you sure had a bad night!! Just sip warm things today, to calm you. I'm sorry you had to go threw that! I'm terrible for not chewing well, I try and try and I still have alot of improvement. I also have a 4cc band. My first fill was 1cc and the 2nd fill, last week, brought me up to 1.3cc. I think that your fill seems extreme, but your doc must know something we don't. If you do end up getting some out, I certainly wouldnt feel bad, it really does seem like alot!! Good Luck to you, and keep chewing.....(I'll be chewing right along with you..lol).

Good to hear that I wasnt the only one that couldnt get here. So apparently I have good restriction for everything except CRAP!! Went to a BBQ and card game last night, was alot of fun, but.........ate a half a bowl of bbq chips, six pieces of french bread with dip, half a burger, pasta salad, half a peice of choc cake, half a piece of lemon pie:eek: !!!! Now this took place over a period of 4-5 hours but HOLY CRAP!! Today I have another bbq and birthday party:faint: , lord help me! Yoda, don't worry about the restriction thing, it's just another curve in the road (it's what we signed up for and PAID FOR..lol)!! Pretty quiet around here, I guess everyone got locked out???

Hey Neenaugh, I'm not sure if your already doing this or not, but I found if I added tons of ice in the blender with the water and opti-crap, then it tasted alot better too. Good Luck, you'll feel great when you get through it!!

Woo Hoo Wheezy!!!! Glad you made it here!! Hey your not in pain, your just high, and think your in pain....lol. Please get back here soon and tell us everything!!

Hello again to my fellow May Bandsters!! I've been reading through your posts and glad to see everyone is doing so great. I feel guilty because I havent been around. Any time I seem to muster up I've been on the Canadian thread. I'd love to touch base with you all again. Keep up the great work!

neenaugh - hang in there, your gonna feel soooo great when you've accomplished the pre-op, not to mention, sail threw surgery!! Yoda - you'r an @ss!! granted, it's a little bright:eek lol

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery Lila. I can't help you out with your problem, but just wanted to say "hello" and welcome. Keep us posted with how your doing!!

I'm sure it just has something to do with the flight....wait a few days and it'll be gone and then some!

:whip: come on loriely, there's still 2 weeks left. Set yourself up with a 2 week challenge!!

hey mandi, maybe that .1 or .2 that you were talking about will kinda reabsorb in the next few months, kinda like the 1st fill, so probably you'll be more comfortable soon.......maybe:)

:welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: :welcomeB: Welcome to Swanny, and to and Taymac!!!!!! Please keep in touch with us and let us know how it is going. You will not regret your decisions. Hey Neenaugh, you were worrying us, where have you been, we missed you. Hey only 2 more weeks!!!!! I know, I know what your thinking Yoda, enough with the smilies and theatrics...

Don't believe her loriely, I'm sure she just sits there and looks pretty:hungry: .........with her knife and fork.:biggrin1: lol

Hi Taymac! Welcome! My experience is with Dr. Cobourn. I LOVE him, he is a awesome docter. I totally agree with irishmist and yoda on the fill thing. I live north of Toronto, but have only had to drive to the clinic a few times. Again, I agree with the others, I would get banded again in a second!!!!!! I only told my immediate family about my banding. I didnt want to tell anyone else before in case of negative feedback in the form of "just trying to help". Now that it is done, I don't care who knows.

Jude, you deserve to eat what you want on your birthday! Yoda, what spices did you add to your pasta and tomato dish?

have a good flight, mandi

No info for you tagger, but best wishes on your upcoming surgery!

It's hard to be forgiving, I know, not only are there newbies to the band but, newbies to the computer too..............(me, for instance):phanvan but I'm getting better.

Your absolutley right Leila, if it dosent help than it's a hinder. We'll do another challenge later and you can jump on board then!! For the most part, I'm a very visual person, hence the tickers, I need it in my face, glaring at me, so far so good. Have a great day!!!!

I have come to the conclusion that I have a very boring dietary life. Keep them coming, great ideas here!!!!!

Lordy, your gonna watch it:puke: .:faint:

Don't worry Road Queen, thanks for visiting!! And your recipe sounds great!!
