    Let me have it!!

    The hardest part is learning how to stay away from those sweets. I still have an issue with it! Why is it that after u eat the sweets u feel so wrong for eating it? I can too get them down with no problem. I do get that pain in the chest if i eat to fast or something is dry. But I need to learn to control myself from the choc n sweets!(HELP).........lol Best of luck to u, Yoco28

    Got my first fill and WOW!

    So I went for my first fill today and it went well. Now I had to be there at 11:45am so I got there at 11:30am and all I saw was like 6 ppl in the waiting room. So they call me back and check my vitals and then they send me back to the waiting room. I sit there for about an hour till they call me and like 15 other ppl to the back.:w00t: We r sent to this room that has shoe covers and a hair net that we must put on. So we r all just sitting there waiting for our turn to be filled. :huh2:Im sorry but it looked like the FAT FARM...lol, I could not stop laughing. :biggrin: It also reminded me of a blog I saw that was about the Dr. Suess "A star on my tummy". It was so like that....lol:biggrinjester: So im like the 6 one to get my fill. It was not bad, it did not hurt. He put in 3cc. So now all I can have is clear liquids till Monday:thumbdown:. yoco28

    Gastric bypass over band?

    In the end it is all up to what u want. I had the same issue but i chose the lapband. They both do the same thing make u lose weight n they both r a tool. So it is just a matter of what works best for u! Best of luck to u!

    A light turned on.

    I think a lot of us get the lapband for the same reson u did, well at least I did. But in the long run it well help us out for the better! As for the wii fit............lol (sorry) My kids have the wii but I need to invest in the Wii fit. My kids tried it n loved it. It might just have to be a gift for us all! Best of luck to u! yoco28
  14. Im sure no matter what weight loss surgery u chose u will have to watch what u eat, with gastric bypass or lapband. It is all up to u to do the work! I have seen some ppl who had the bypass and lose realy fast but also put it right back on too. But as for the lapband u can go n get a fill to help u out again! It all depends on the person. Best of luck to u!
  15. This is my 2nd day after my 2nd fill I have had to eat today: 1 egg scrambled 1 fitness yogert 1 piece of fish 8oz protein shake with 1 teaspoon of fat free peanut butter. 16oz. diet peach drink from lipton. *So far this fill has seems to be working. Im eating much less then I used too! Im now fill to 5cc

    my journey begins

    im 12 weeks post-op and the pain in the sholder will go away but when u start eating reg. food some food may bring it back. it just started happening to me, any type of food that gives u gas brings it on. and it is the worse pain. i have to walk to get it out from there. best of luck to u! yoco28

    3/12/09 The Buzz about Coffee

    My doc said that I just had to switch to decaf. At first it was not the same n so I just stoped all together! But after I was banded I just had to have some so I gave the decaf a try again n it was fine. I had to add some suger free vanilla creamer and like 3 packs of equal to it. And now I drink it everyday. MUST HAVE IT.........lol OH.....I love reading ur blogs, sometimes the pic's u put up r so funny and cute! Best of luck to u! yoco28
