so you should know i'm getting banded on july 31st if you seen any of the threads i posted or my profile (: but my cousin's wedding is on october 17th and there's this dress i want and i want to wear it to the wedding, but thing is, is that i need to buy it online because they dont have it in the store. and i need to buy it now because i wont have the money then (because i am starting to save for two tattoos and a car after september 11th). so i was wondering what size i should get, a medium(7-9) or a large(9-11), the marterial that this clothing brand has is kind of stretchy(its by Tripp NYC and i love the clothing brand) This is the dress i want...i lovvvvve it! just can't decide which size i should get, get a large and get it taylored when i lose more weight or just get a medium? ahh i really want to get this now cause i cant wait just help me choose a size? the measurements for large-size 11 are bust 37 waist 30 and hips 40...help? ----> dress

okay I'll keep that in mind that is (:

I think this website is very helpfull too (:

i feel so bored and lonely its making me sad, sorry if this isnt the right place to put this. i havent hung out or heared from my bff since july 8th. but what i really wish i had was a lap band buddy my age. maybe after i gett banded things will be better, im still extremely nervous and very scared, i hope things go great. sometimes i just want to cry cause im so scared hmm, its in 2 more days, its really close, so scar3d ):

I was told to stay away from citrus juices and soda too Thanks!!

It should be ok right? I have mots light apple juice and dilute it with water?

Padanelle- i know, i think the gas is almost out now, it feels like theres just one bubble that needs to come out now thank god same here haha, would apple juice help get rid of the consitpation too? i have mots light and i put water in it, should it help me to go? ive been sleeping in the recliner for 4 days, i went back and forth to me bed and the recliner, and the recliner won, wish i had one of those beds like the hospital. what is sliming? my scale moved quick, it shocked me Brittany8018- i think i had the gas pains in my should too, but it comes and goes tho, stinkers im walking every hour, but not outside, just in the house for now im not sure if i should take those (chewable Pepcid Complete) ParrotheadCathy- im pretty sure the gas is from the surgery that they put in me, i have 5 insicions. i cant wait til it goes, but i need to go #2 and i know i have too cause its making that strange noise. i bet when i do go itll feel 10 times better rocking chair does help but the cat stole it from me right now, i love the heating pad, it feel nice i cant wait for it to go (:

its alright to have right? nobody didnt say i couldnt, did you guys ever have apple juice your first week? maybe itll help with constipation?

I think I'd rather have a note from my dr for when we do sit ups just to be safe

School starts in 4 weeks just had surgery in july 31st I should be fine right? Everything should be healed? What about gym, should I tell my gym teacher and school nurse that I had surgery? I hope I feel 100% better by time school gets here ugh how did you guys feel at 4 weeks post op? And also let me know how you guys felt at day 7 and 8 did any of you have nausea the first few days? How long?

ohkay sounds like a good idea, sometimes in gym we do alot of different games like football, soccer, frisbee stuff like that, we usually do the timed mile at the end of the month or begining of the next month, we also do a shuttle run arould 2 cones as fast as we can 3 times, also we do side steps that is timed for how many steps you do the we do sit ups which is also timed we do the physical fitness test twice a year one in the fall and one in spring I see my doc on Monday, I'll ask him
