Well Hello LC,
Good to hear that you're feeling a bit better. The gas is really a doozy. I had it for the first 2 weeks but I find that it has calmed down tremendously now.
Congrats on the pounds lady. Doesn't the idea that you're taking control feel great? It does to me.
I'm doing great. I went to a support group meeting last evening. There's always something new to learn and it's great to listen to how & what others are doing to be successful.
I get my first fill on February 26th. So far so good.
Take care.

Hey Music,
Missed you. Wondered what happened to you. When you get time I'd love to hear about your band. I'm a music lover.
I know what you mean about being away from home and having to eat out. It's something that we've got to learn to do though. You for sure don't want to sacrifice those 20 'whole" pounds that you worked so diligently to take off.
Have you tried some of these:
Hamburger without the bread?What about Popeyes red beans without the rice. Popeyes also has green beans.
Not trying to lecture you but March 25th is getting closer. Hang in there, I know you can do it.
Have a great week!
I'm doing good. I get my first fill on February 26th. Admittedly it makes me a bit nervous...just not knowing what to expect.
I'm going to a support group meeting tonight. If I hear of any quick/on the road meals I'll let you know.

I'm good, thanks.
I get my first fill on 2/26. Don't really know what to expect so I'll be looking for some help. I'm adhering to the rules.
Have a great weekend!

You're in my prayers and thoughts this morning! I'm so happy for you!!!
It may not seem like it, but today is really gonna be a great day!

SLinderella2b, OMG! I tried the Fruit Punch Protein bullet from Walmart and mixed it with the Crystal Light fruit punch. You were so right, it was really good. Thanks for the tip. I got the 26g bullet for about $1.97. Thanks again.

Evening LC.
I'm not sure about words of wisdom but I will say this. I have considered the opportunity to have this surgery as a blessing in my life. There aren't many things that we do solely for us. Granted, others in our life will benefit from our better health but......this is sort of a big gift to ourselves. A gift that will change ...the rest of our lives. Just Be Happy.
If you get a chance let me know what time your surgery is scheduled for on Monday. I'll say a special prayer for you.
Take care.

He should know! And you've been working on it so you'll be okay.
I'm good. I make my first follow-up visit with the Doc on Tuesday. I'm ready to exercise but will wait for his blessing on it first.
What time are you scheduled for on Monday and do you have to stay overnight?
-
Goodmorning!
Just wanted to drop in and see how you're doing.
Best of luck to you!!

Hi, I'm currently using CHIKE Protein shake mix but I'm not crazy about it. I'll have to try some of the ones that you guys have recommended.

I'm side sleeper too. I'm 10 days post op and started about 7 days post-op to be able to sleep on my non-port side semi-comfortably. It gets better as the days go by.
-
Hi lovely creation, I'm 9 days post op and it gets so much better. Just hang in there. You're probably so accustomed to providing those encouraging words to others but not used to hearing and truly accepting them when it's your turn. Stop, and let this be your turn. You're going to do great and YES you need this. We all did/do. There's so much life out there for you to live and enjoy. Take a deep breath and exhale! You are so worth this surgery. In a few days it'll all be a distant memory and you'll look back and smile. You can do this. I did it. You can too! I had some crazy dreams after I got home. Stuff that didn't even make sense once I explained it(ha). Often we're afraid of change, even if we need it and want it. When is your surgery scheduled for? Mine was on January 26th. Take care.

Hi aivey, Although I did not have to write a letter, I really like yours. If I were a doctor I'd sign off on it for ya. Best of everything....

Morning Summertime, I'm in Louisiana, so don't feel alone down near the bottom(omg)!
-
Hey guys(ladies included), I finally got a decent night's rest. Able to sleep on both sides but less on the port side. I also notice that my stomach is not creating the music it once was. It was so loud one night, my husband that it was his stomach. Not as much gas as early last week(wow)! I've driven a couple of times with no problem. My only instructions were to make sure I was no longer taking pain medicine. Have a great Tuesday everyone! YT

Hey Summertime! Welcome to the group!

Hello TMG,
You're a beautiful lady...right now! Best of everything to you!!!
I was banded on 1/26/09. Best decision I could have ever made for myself by myself. Oh yeah!
Take care.
