*slim*

Thanks. I have been using my digital scale/body fat analyzer along with ticker factory. woohoo Thanks everyone for the congrats. I was so excited!

PJTP-I know that there are more important things to talk about right now, but I AM NO LONGER MORBIDLY OBESE!:wink2: I know I am only barely out of it, but it is so nice to see a 3 instead of a 4. Now if I can just get below 200.

Did we date the same guy? lol I dated a guy that was really into disgusting stuff. He liked to put....Nope too gross even for here.

If you are feeling true hunger, then you may just need a very small fill. As long as you are able to get some solid protein down, I think you are ok. My doctor's office actually said that chicken (breast meat) would be harder to get down. All of the other foods that you mentioned are on my doctor's possible difficulty list. I basically don't have much restriction at all and can't really eat a lot of rice or pasta. I have found that I can eat the whole grain pasta better than plain pasta. I hope that either way, you are able to find an answer.

I'm mystified too. I have to say that I would question my DH's manhood if all he wanted was anal sex. A little too close to homosexual sex to me. I'm just saying...

Ceradad, consider it done on both request. Beth-pattygreen is going to make SURE you go to hell for that.

It was a very quiet posting weekend. I noticed that myself. LJM-I'm sorry that you are swollen. I hope you are better now.

I tried it once with my husband a few weeks after childbirth since vaginal sex was a big no-no. We never made it to complete. I was in such agony that I told him he was crazy if he thought I would ever do that again.

I am 4 months post op, and it has only just gotten to where that isn't uncomfortable. I think it just has to do with the port site taking longer to competely heal. I can barely feel the port site now.

My doctor put no restrictions on sex. He said that whenever I felt up to it. I didn't want my DH laying on my stomach for a while, so we had to get creative with the positions. Just do what you feel comfortabe. Also, to bump a thread up, you just post another reply to it. It moves it to the top of the heap. Good luck!

I don't care how great the orgasms could be, exit ONLY.

Yay you! That is awesome! Congrats!

Debbie, I am so glad that everything went well. Your loss has been awesome! Your hard work has paid off. Keep up the great job!

I think the OP edited their original comment. I don't think it is the lortab this time.

So I guess it is time to give up on the idea of having one main September thread?

I wondered the same thing.

That is so awesome. I like Hugh Laurie a lot. I knew he played piano, but didn't know that they had started a band with other actors. How funny.

My son is also 11. This wasn't the first surgery that I have had that he knew about. He wasn't nervous about it. I told him the truth about what I was having done. I didn't go into details about the procedure, but I did tell him enough that he wouldn't be scared. He handled it pretty well. He has been the food police for me since he caught me during a PB. He now asks me if I am sure I can eat something else or if I should have that.

Congrats CC! That is awesome!

I carry most my weight around my stomach too. I haven't been to one of the support group meetings. They start not long after I get off from work. It would be hard for me to make it from downtown to their office in time. Let me know how it is though. I have wondered about it.

Debbie, I hope all went well with your fill. My doctor is the same as yours. No food after midnight before a fill. I have one on Monday. Hopefully, you didn't sneeze with a mouth full of barium, or sneeze or cough while the needle was sticking out of your stomach (bad visual). Let us know how it went. I hope you are feeling better.

To get your protein up while not hungry, you might want to try protein drinks. You could try something like the slim fast optima which is supposed to have more protein in it, or just buy some protein powder and add it to what your are drinking. You have to get something down to build up your strength. I hope you feel better soon, and welcome to the September forum!

I agree completely. She has just given you the best advice that I could think of. Good luck!

I started taking my pills a few weeks after surgery. I cannot tell that it is slowing my weight loss at all.

ROFL:lol: I said that to my son this morning!
