I just don't...... how am I gaining???? I know its not much 2.6 lbs but..(in two days).... I work out.....eat less I should be loosing...or staying at the same weight...... tuesday I had two 100 cal. bars... not that crazy.... and yesterday I ate very well......and had one 100 cal. dark chocolate bar........ and worked out Mon,tues,wed???? (I work out every week)..plus I drink my Water.....now come on!!??!?! .....also sitting here wondering why my upper half lip is still swollen? .....woke up tuesday with a half swollen lip and its not going away????? weird eh? :devil_smile:

silly question.....but Im not to sure.....so when we drink water.....does the water stay in our pouch or go right through to our bigger belly?????? I drink fast and alot and it doesn't bother me......but if it will stretch my pouch I would like to know so I can slow down....... so should I slow down......or keep drinking like I am???

oh no really?????? Iv been drinking this fast for like 6 weeks... I thought water went through really fast..... I guess Im going to drink slow.....and talk to my doctor about it... drinking slow??????? thats going to be hard......and how am I ever going to get the water intake I need....... ugh!!!!!!

I would like to know a little more about breast surgery....how many different types.. breast lift... reduction... ???? my breasts are pointing south!.....and sice i have been over weight all my life and have big breasts......

Im down 5 lbs this week??? strange because I had some drinks on friday...... la sweet vodka drinks too...lol.... well, Im not complaining!!!

New Brunswick! ....banded in march 2010 :smile2: :thumbup:

I went in with Anxiety..... (surgery,march 24th 2010) and post-op with Anxiety and depression...... crying.... and thinking what have I done??/ why?? ......alot of pple come out feeling blue....sad..... its a big part of most peoples healing process.... take it one day at a time..... and if you think you need help go get it....see your doctor... I started feeling better a few weeks after surgery (after I started to heal)..... needed no medication other than Anxiety meds.... take care..... one day at a time.....and don't even think of whats to come ..... loosing weight and exercise can wait!

..the sergeon is very shy....and quite new..kinda lets the nurse run the show..but I have to say he has done an awesome job with my surgery and with everyone else........ the nurse is a bitch :cursing: and I over herd the sec. on the phone....she mentioned someone called her out and called her a bitch...... But Amy your right....it is not their area of expertise.....and i told her....if anyone would have asked me anything about my past mental illnesses ...i would have told them everything..... my psychologist said that the reason it is not manditory for a eval.... is because they would have to hire someone just to handle all the people needing a psych eval (here in Canada,in my provence , we are 100% covered for surgery)....... crabby.......I thought of going to a new doctor.... 4 hours away is a bit long..... Im sure things will get better....if not well, Im going to have to say something!

I will try to make this short...... before surgery....Anxiety....almost changed my mind.... lost quite a bit of weight on my pre-op....went into surgery crying and undicided..... woke up thinking what the hell did I do....... Anxiety got worse and depression set in..... went for help and called my doctor.... seeing a psychologist......... went in to see my surgeon and nurse..... they didnt ask me how i was doing....didnt check my scars....didnt notice I was loosing like crazy..... all they wanted to talk about was how Im only in the 2% of pple who come out of this feeling down... ( 2% ,,,bullshit)......so I went home feeling bad and feeling like a failure..... but my psychologist told me maybe they were scared I was going to sue them.....somehow I fell through the cracks and didnt have a phyce eval..... but they had answers for why I didnt.....they told me they didnt see any red flags..... :mad2: ........went in for my first fill.....and my dietitian gave me a speech......your loosing to fast!....your not eating enough pasta,crackers,rice....blah blah.... I was like loosing to fast??? I want to loose more!!! she said your not going to turn anorexic on us are you.......what the hell??? I gave her a look like.....come on now ...your all taking this a little to far!...... I dont even want to get skinnie for frig sakes.... 170 ish sounds good to me........ Now,,,,would I be out of line if I said something next visite?..... if they say something again....????? .... and they call themselves professionals.... azzholes!!! ............. way to make me feel like Im failing at this.....my depression is gone.... no thanks to them! :cursing:

AWESOME!!!!!!

* psych eval

Im in.... first challenge :cheers2: .... 20lbs :scared2:

CARROTS?????.......raw carrots.... why can't we get stuck on chips ,chocolate, or ice cream??/ .... I was stuck before...but this time, it really got stuck ..2 hours of rubbing, walking....and trying to make myself sick. even before band I could never make myself sick!....you know when your not feeling very well and you want to get sick to feel better....... never worked!..... ..so, finally after 2 hours, I did vomit.... felt better right way... so is getting sick the only way to get unstuck??? anyone else have this problem of not being able to make themselves sick? I was thinking....damn .never thought I would be punished for eating carrots.....LOL..... I guess i wont be eating raw veggies ever again.... :biggrin:

well...I bent every way possible....but I don't think I bent down into a upside down v....will try! :biggrin: .....staying away from carrots (raw) forever! ....ughh!.... coughing usually works when Im heart sick.....didn't work today.... it was very painfull.... this happened around 2:00 ....only had a bit of milk since then....and Im going to stick to liquids tomorrow tx everyone!

wondering how everyone is doing???? just wanted to share my good news!!!.... I steped on my scale this morning....50 lbs gone!!! feels great..... hope everyone is doing well!:smile:

.....(59 lbs since november) LOL :smile:

OK.....I was banded on march 24th.... so 5 weeks post-op yesterday.....now Im seeing my doctor for a fill on Monday...what I want to know is do I need a fill?...... does getting stuck have anything to do with needing a fill....Im thinking no.....in a way ...because I get stuck when I don't chew enough.... ( a few times for about a min)...Im eating about a cup of food for lunch and dinner... and having a small breakfast.... not really hungry ... and never eat at night... so do I need a fill? ....Im joining the gym today......maybe I will start to feel hungry with the workouts???.... maybe I should get my fill? what have you done so far??????:redface:

Thanks Amy.... it looks like were all loosing!!! and not gaining.....thank gawd!......:redface: I just made a appointment for the 17th of May..... the 10th was not a good day.... (he only sees us on mondays) so I will deffinatly know by then.... 2 weeks 2 days ish :thumbup: . ...Im thinking with the workouts....Im might need a fill by then.... hope your all doing well.... living good and making friends with your band!....LOL... she pisses me off at times...when I get a little stuck (even though its my fault) if anyone was feeling depressed like I was in the beggining...I hope your feeling better....Im feeling allot better.... had some issues with coping and dealing with my new life and band... take care!

12 a cup???....LOL...maybe thats why most of the time I don't finish what Im eating.......well I guess your right....I will chat with my doctor...and see if Im eating to much..... a 48lb loss so far I would think Im doing alright......well 48lbs is awesome!!! BUT,,, if Im eating too much I want to know!... (plus Im nervous for my first fill)...... when does banster hell usually start for most pple?
