IAmDoingItIn09

Hey I am doing fab how about you? I am soooo ready for a fill. I am hungry all the time but holding out. I am going to strat working out twice a day tomorrow...I am ready for this fat to melt off. They werent lying when they said this is banster hell!!!

Hey girl....I had to come by and with some DMV luv. You look great!!! Congrats on the loss so far....you are already fabulous!!!

Hey girl how are things??? I was banded on the 14th. Congrats girl on the loss and the scale will continue to go down. By the way you are not to big for pole dancing!!! Where are the belly dancing classes...I def need that for my core...we should really cinsider taking it.

LOL...there are just so many interesting topics on here.

I concur last night I had the best sleep as well…I took 2 Tylenol PMs and had the best dream ever…lol. I hope you are not only drinking broth …you should have some sugar free popsicles between then. The Lindora is Fab I fill up my bottle every morning and sip throughout the day. Yesterday wasn’t to bad at work but I could tell I had a lot of gas built up…I think its because I still use a straw…I love straws and they are hard to give up. I also had to keep getting up because my port area was bothering me…I cant wait to go back to the doctor to make sure I am right on track.

So am I...not to far from the Mall! Belly Dancing sounds like fun...are you referring to the place Body Talk off of 197? They also have pole dancing classes...I would love to try that as well.

Wow in the mall the day after surgery?your good. I think makeup and hair has become my new hobby?lol?I have soo much time now. I wish I only had one incision I have 5!!! 4 that are about ? inches long and 1 that is about 2 inches. I have been putting my mixture of Shea, Mango,Jojoba and olive oil on it and hope it helps. I have the same feeling that you are describing its like its burning but not enough for pain meds. Please let me know what you find out at the docs my appointment isn?t until next Wednesday...I cant wait for a fill!

Hey...I thought when I click view conversation I was only posting to your site...lol. Muirkirk is really close to Cherry about 7 min away.Good luck seeing the sun...its been so gloomy lately. I did feel dizzy when I was on the pre-op liquid diet and it was due to low cals. Can you have yogurt? Try uping your calories...u don't want to pass out. I am so addicted to this site its crazy!!!

Hey P.G. County girl . I was banded on 7-14 and am now getting those hunger pains. How are you doing??? I'm so happy I did this!

Congrats to you as well!!! How are you doing?? My longest incision is still sore and hurts if I sit down for longer than 15 min. I am starting to get hungrier as the days go on. Keep me posted.

I didn't make it to Zumba last night...my tummy was hurting and I am not ready to "move" like a salsa dancer. Do u have any gas-x? That helps a little. Its great having someone else 2 talk 2 through this...thanks for being there .

Hey...u should have told me you were in Laurel I would have stopped by 2 check on ya...I bet u were next door...lol. I am off of Cherry Lane. I am glad to hear u r doing well...and the weight is falling off ...I have the same issues at night....I took 3(I know) tylenol PMs last night and that was the best sleep I have had in days. I think I over did it yesterday I had to take my car to the dealership and got stuffed in a Toyota Versa running all over Columbia...my tummy was killing me because I was so crunched (I am used to driving in a truck). I am back 2 work today and so glad my officemate is not coming in for the next 2 days...this gas is killing me. I am so over chicken broth...I have been eating the campbells healthy request Clam Chowder, pudding, sugar free popscicles, jello and of course sipping throughout the day my wild berry passion drink (30g protein I mix 2 packets in 32 ounces of water).

Yea....Wii Fit...you are dooing AWESOME!!!! You are right on track I could only do 15 min of walking at a time on the treadmill until Saturday when I did 45. I am like you, I walk to help with the gas...more of it seems to be releasing now. I too cannot not drink nor eat alot I am on liquids for 2 weeks and then back to the doc and moving on to pureed. I think this is the best thing I could have ever done for myself. I mean the scale is actually continuing to go down. I love the fact that I can only eat but so much...I eat like a bird now...hehe. I went out to dinner last night and watched everyone eat bread and calamari...I ordered seafood bisque yum)and was SATISFIED. I have got to find several hobbies now...I have way to much time on my hands and find myself shopping way to much...lol. I went out today and purchased a lace front wig...lol. I am going to try a Zumba class tomorrow. Where in MD are u if you don't mind me asking?

Hey....glad you made it back safely . Wow...only one incision I wish. That sounds like my longest one and yes I still d have pain in that area getting up/sitting down and even bending down (I know I shoudn't be). The gas seems to stillbe working its way out and I really am trying not to take any pain meds only when needed. I am able to move around...I actually did 45 min on the treadmill today at 2.5 and a 3.0 incline. Slowly but surely you will come around...just take your time in healing. I heard it may be a week before you actually feel descent. We are bringing sexy back on a different level...lol.

Gas definetly gas!!! But it comes and goes and the Gas-x really helps. My surgeon said he tries to squeeze all the gas out but of course cannot get enough. It just feels like a lot of pressure on my chest. I wish you the best today...you will be ok...the surgery really wasn't that bad. The best part is...I am barely hungry...yea! I only had 3 -1 cup bowls of soup yesterday and about 1 cup of diet ice tea. Please check in and let me know how things went. Talk to you soon.

I am back.....and it wasn't to bad...just a lot of pressure. How are things going with you? We are on our way!!!

Hey girl...I can't believe it...in a few hours I will be banded. I don't think you can get the Lindora products in any stores locally...you have to order but they ship really fast. I just finished my last drink for the next 24 hours....my yummy Wildberry Passion lol. I am anxious but not to nervous...I will be staying overnight which I am not to thrilled about ( Ihate hospitals) but I know its necessary. Thanks for keeping me in your prayers. I'll try to check in tomorrow after my procedure but if not I will pray for you as well...we are going to be rocking on the other side .

(sorry had to split in two...I talk to much )

I hope I wont be as hungry after surgery. My new coworker told me to eat something yesterday because when I was working on a project with her my tummy made all kinds of noises. I know she probably thinks I am weird because all I have been eating is sugar free jello and chicken broth during the day...lol. I will be sure to keep you posted so you know what to look forward to.

Ugh I am so upset I just typed a long message and it didn't post. Anywho...yes we are almost there just a couple more days. It hit me yesterday when the hospital called to verify my info. I use a couple of protein powders: Unjury, Isopure & Super Advanced Whey. Also, if you have a Vitamin Shoppe or GNC near you try the Isopure drinks they have 40g of protein and are not to bad...I like the Grape Frost. I also stocked up on some items from Lindora.com since they had a 40% off sale for 4th of July. I used to buy there stuff when I lived in L.A. There Wildberry Passion protein drink is AWESOME it has 15g of protein and only 70 cals. I am so tired of broth and I have been eating a grilled chicken breast every night otherwise i was going to pass out in the gym. As long as the scale keeps going down I am eating my chicken breast...lol. I can't believe how fast the weight is coming off I have lost 10lbs since Tuesday but I guess thats because I am burning off what I drink/eat.

I suck...lol. I was doing great all day and felt like I was about to pass out a couple of times. I stopped and purchased some wonton soup broth from the chinese restaurant and added some grilled shrimp I made on the stove with Pam :-|. I feel like I wasn't totally prepared. Breakfast - 1 cup plain soy milk and 1 scoop advanced whey protein powder, snack - SF jello, lunch - greek yogurt with a tablespoon proten powder, snack 2- SF Choc pudding with a tablespoon protein powder, evening snack - Unjury shake with water and of course D- 2 cups wonton broth and 5 grilled shrimp. I figure the shrimp can hurt its all protein right? I will be more prepared tomorrow, however, I feel like this is going to beharer than I think. I did mange to get in all my water but I think the calories are way too low. How are you doing?
