    Sudden Restriction w/No Pain. Slip or not

    banded early dec and not feeling any restriction after 3 fills this month... getting it checked next week. i will make sure they check everything, not just the band...anybody else have a leak? can you chime in and let us know what happens..... a re-do surgery??
  5. hey!!! we did it!! so glad to be on the other side....you kicked cigs-- WOW!!!! congrats!!! i'm doing good.. the surgery is no joke, huh? my port side feels weird to be up and doing Wii-- good for you!! i'm good with walking slow, that is about it.. ...i'm starting to struggle on the soups and supposed to hold out until wednesday...i want lobster and mashed potatos!!! NOWWW.

    I guess the surgery was teh easy part..now we have to work the band....UGH!!..i dont think 2 cups of food made you gain 8 pounds-- water retention most likely!! glad you aer doing well!! let's keep in touch!!

  6. hey girl..... wanted to check in with you see how you were doing.

    I was able to kick the cigs, want one every once in awhile, but only for a fleeting moment or two. My surgery went well. I feel good, 9th day out. Walking a little every other day, I was down to 328, got on my wii fit and did 30 minutes of yoga and areobics. I was getting really hungry beginning wednesday, called dietician, and she said go to soups and mushies, I did, hello, weighed this morning 336!!!! I about flipped, how can 2 coups of food make me gain 8 pounds, geeez, makes me wanna go for a extra long cheese coney and rings! I wish I hated food! lol

    oh well, I think it is a lot of water retention. we will see.how are you doing?

    HELP burned out already !

    go back and get it done... your sister would be soooo proud of you!!!! heck- do it in honor of your sister. if you can feel that you can share (when you go back.. i know you will!!) that you are especially sensitive about the stress test, etc..... they might even show some compassion!!! don't give up!!
  14. Florida peeeete!!.....thanks for your words. you are walking at work now too? wow.. you are in the zone now!! you've inspired me, im going to walk into the gym today.. i have thought about it and talked myself out of it everyday for 2 months.. what a waste of time adn brain space... i will let you know how it goes...
