Hi,Suzie Que.I just moved down to E-town to be with my husband. Ive been walking with my husband at Saunders Springs, which should be near you. I was banded in july 2008 and havent been as successful as Id like. Im planning to go to the support group meeting at HMH tonight,and I hope Ill be welcome even tho I wasnt banded there.Maybe Ill see you there.:thumbup:

Did anyone see the Dr.G autopsy show recently? She had a case of a woman who died while recovering from "TUMMY TUCK" surgery. The surgery itself went well, but it unleashed a blood clot that traveled up to her lungs and killed her. That scared the hell out of me!!! I wouldnt risk my life just to get rid of some flabby skin.

Banded last july, lost 30 lbs pre-op. have had 2 fills{4.8 cc in a 10 cc band} I know Im supposed to concentrate on protien but meat makes me throw up most of the time,vegtables too. Idrink milk &eat protein bars but can still eat chips & candy. Ive developed a strange addiction to Quaker rice cakes. Why do I keep throwing up when I try to eat the "good" stuff, but I can eat almost any chips,candy or other carbs with no problem?!!! Can anyone talk some sense into me? I was going to the gym every day, but havent been able to drag my butt out in the snow.

Ive been banded for 1 mo. now, and have thrown up perfectly innocent things,such as 1/2 of a pork chop. Ive kept down more complex things like gyros & smoked beef sticks. there doesnt seem to be any real logic as to what I can eat. When people on the blog talk about being "slimed" (throwing up) no one mentions what slime is (stomach mucus?) what causes it and how to avoid it, if possible. Ill be getting my 1st fill Thursday and wonder if the slime will get worse.:w00t:

Its not tasty,but Miller Genuine Draft light has the lowest number of calories-64 per 12 oz. Im also a wino and never drink the hard stuff; but ive heard that a shot with plain soda water is about 100 cal.Beware of too much booze-if youre anything like me.youll become more susceptable to stuffing your face with food!hope this helps-good luck!

Im in so much pain I cant tell if its the incisions or just gas.Ive been taking GasX and hydrocodone for the pain.Ive been reading your posts and I thought I knew what to expect, but this is worse than I thought! Id appreciate any encouragement that this pain will go away(hopefully within a week-im going out of town next weekend!!)Im not at all computer savy and cant post pix,etc-Im a one finger typist.Banded 17 july in Chicago at Day One health. started at 301-now 285.Dr's goal weight is 200-my goal is 130.
