Its coming off very very slow, but hey atleast its coming off!

I kinda had the feeling that he didnt do it when they first arrested him...Just didnt sound right "Yes, I was in the room when she died", that in itself covers alot of ground! I still think the mom had something to do with it, but who am I to say

I would be scared to death to try a hotdog especially on a family outing for the first time...I am just over 9 weeks out and just now finally went out in public to eat for the first time and of course my first glance around the room before that first bite was to make sure the restroom was close just incase something got stuck and I had to run, thank goodness it went well...But most of my major issues have been with bread or flour tortillas...I really think that you would be rushing it a little to try it now...I have tried a couple of the fat free hot dogs cut up in little triangles with some chili and cheese over it and it was very good...But as others have told you, contact your surgeon or your nurse and ask them what they think before attempting it and possibly ending up with a terrible night out

:sickI finally gave up...I have been feeling terrible for more than several days now, thought it was a summer cold...Well, I finally gave up and went to the after hours clinic this morning...After finding out that they dont use my insurance there cuz my dr is not in their "group" and 70 bucks later I find out that I have a URI and brochitis...I knew I wasnt feeling quite right and I should have taken a hint when I was having severe headaches in the beginning of the week...Really sucked cuz I have been on vacation since Wend to get my son started in school and sick basically since Thursday...Oh well, finally got some liquid antibiotics and some codiene cough meds to help me out...I missed my weekly weigh in today due to not going to work and wont officially weigh in till Tuesday since I will be off till then...Its going to be kinda scarey Tuesday cuz I havent had the strength to work out since Thursday but hopefully that will change once I get the antibiotics working full force...Well back off to bed...Well, I guess its a good thing too cuz I have lost my ambition to eat... Thank goodness that came after my wonderful dinner out last night!!

Well today has be kinda uneventful for me...I have been with my husband including dating time for little over 14 years and due to money reasons he has never financially spoil me its always been the other way around, but thank goodness for his raises...My husband actually went and bought brakes for my car this morning then gave me money for new underwear (which he has never done) and then took me out to dinner (which is the first time I have been actually out to eat since my sugery)...We went to Furrs Cafeteria so we could all have a taste of everything and it was great...I dont think that it did anything good for my weigh in tomorrow, but thats ok cuz it made him feel great to be able to do it for us...I had a couple bites of carrot slaw, a few bites of a salad, a couple bites of greens then a couple bites of bbq turkey and ribs...It was all wonderful...And with being able to get alot of different things and having a couple bites of each it was almost like cheating big time but I didnt...He noticed me smiling at him and wondered why, I let him know that this was the first time ever that he was able to do for me what I wouldnt have been able to do for myself and he loved it!!!

I was determined to do anything that I could and move as much as possible to get all the gas out...I for sure didnt want any pain from that at all...Dont get me wrong, I was moving very slow and took my time at everything that I did...lol...It wasnt easy by a long shot

On the second day home I was able to mow the front yard, of course the mower moves on its own and I just had to guide it...That wore me out for the day...About on the 4th day I tried to get out and run some errands but ended up light headed and couldnt finish all of them...But by the end of the week I was back to work and felt normal and on my regular routine...Now everyone heals differently and at a different speed...I suggest trying to take it as easy as you can for atleast a week or more if you have the time away from work

Good for you, I knew you could make it thru the day...Now its that grocery store trip your planning that has me worried...You should just make a list of what you need and not get anything that isnt on your list...Easier said than done, I know first hand...But it was a thought...lol

I dont have a clue on what my weigh in is going to be this week:noidea:...I thought for sure that I would go down some, but with the heat and major headaches this week I guess I havent been up to par but I still have been working out and trying to eat right...Each morning when I weigh in it looks like I keep going back and forth on the same 2 pounds...Of course I officially weigh in on the scales at work for my accurate loss and wont be back there till Sunday...Took a few days off work to get my son started in school today:Banane51:, man it was a mad house with lots of little knee high people running around...Its hard to believe that my son was at anytime that small...But its his last year in elementary school and he feels like hes the king of the school this year...He has a wonderful attitude...Oh well back to the weight, I just feel like whatever happens this week will happen...My heart just isnt in it fully right now with time off from work and wanting to rest and relax during the day:bored...Even had cheese enchiladas for lunch today:faint2: and they were wonderful...Think I might skip on dinner or maybe just some veggies or yogart...Well, off to bed to nurse my head againnnn...It really suck dilly ucks to not feel good on vacation days away from the place that I thought was causing my headaches...Oh well!:sick Oh, and while picking some of my smilies off the list it appears that a couple perverted or could be mistaken as perverted smilies have made it on the list towards the end...Kinda wish someone would take those off...

Depending on the size of your band I would be wondering about maybe a leak in the band or something...It wouldnt hurt to have it checked out

Let me reassure you that these are all normal feelings...Alot of us have had the last minute jitters and the feeling of selfishness...You are going to do great!!

Oh man, I am so proud of you...I love the success storys on here...One day I hope to be there, but today it just seems so far away...I am holding my chins up high and i WILL be there too

I went thru that too...dont know if it is exactly what your going thru, but I felt very nervous...my main concern was the feeling of being selfish and what if something happens to me during surgery and I myself chose to have this done, i have taken myself away from my family and my son for selfish reasons...I was so afraid of something going wrong..I had myself all worked up over nothing...This is the least evasive WLS and everything will go great for you...You have done all your homework on preparing and knowing what to expect...Its normal to be nervous before any type surgery

I have heard it both ways...#1/i heard that you take your weight and divide it by 2.2 and thats how many ounces you drink a day #2/my dr says 64 ounces of water a day and go over that if you can to help flush out your body...Now if I were to do #1 there would be no way to have a normal routine thru the day cuz you would be living right next to the bathroom and have a perminant toilet ring around your butt...lol...So I try to stick with a little over the 64 ounces and that keeps me in the bathroom enough

I know that every dr is different and has different rules...My dr had me on a clear liquid diet for 3 days after surgery then on a mushie stage for 5 weeks...The mushie stage basically consisted of yogart, oatmeal, apple sauce, cottage cheese, protein drinks...This is suppose to allow your band time to heal without pushing it and causing slippage...But then again, I have a friend at work that also just had hers done and right after surgery she was right back to normal foods per her drs instructions...I dont know if I would agree with your nurse about it just being limited to no greasy foods...Of course its basically all trial by error after you get on normal foods cuz every person can tolerate different things

Ok, for my weekly weigh in counting what I had gained last week puts me at a total of 2.5 lbs this week...Total of 27 lbs since surgery...I can deal with that for now!!

I am just sitting back waiting for my weekly formal weigh in tomorrow morning...Of course my scales are different from the ones that I use at work in the breakroom, so I am not even going to speculate what it might be...I would be happy with anything around 2 pounds and extatic with anything over that...I knew that with the lapband the weight would be coming off slowly but I had no clue it would be this slow and this hard...I was even regreting getting the lapband earlier and thinking I should have gone for the more drastic surgerys then I visited the memorial page again for my sugeon and remembered why I had so much against it...I will just have to do my time and just remember its suppose to come off slow and healthy...Plus I really havent been that good this week but I cant always be good...But atleast when I do eat its bad its very very little...I have had a couple diet cherry vanilla dr peppers this week...Of course, no calories but I cant finish the entire can cuz it starts to feel terrible but it sure tastes good a little at a time...So, I am waiting for morning when I get to work to see what I have actually lost...Maybe even back to my 26.5 lbs I guess but I want more than that...I want another fill, but I need to wait atleast a month or so before I can ask my dr for that so I have the time behind me showing that Im not losing....So, long story short, I am hoping for more than 26.5 lbs and will update my journal in the morning right after my weigh in...Dang band is going to be the death of me!!

I am waiting on pins and needles to hear about your weigh in today...I have a feeling that mine wont be too good this week, so I am counting on you!! lol...I had a baked tater for dinner tonight so there went my chance for a good one on Sunday, but I am learning to deal with it and will take it as it comes

I was able to get down to 26.5 lbs yesterday...then I went home and rearranged my livingroom furniture...I was to sore and tired after I was done so I didnt work out, I thought that would actually count as my work out...Then I had a kitkat candy bar...So guess what, I woke up this morning to an extra almost pound and a half...I am going to do my workout when I get home for sure today and see if I can get all that off...Kinda depressing, but thats ok...1 day out of as many as I have been good is fine...Everyone deserves a treat
