    Mad mad mad mad mad

    Ameren will tell you they did it so it wont have to be done as often..I dont think youll have any recourse...men with testosterone and chainsaws...dont get me started! Dont worry about the protein...more is always good. The only way you can mess up your band is by heaving...so if you are tolerating the protein, its all good!!

    Banded 7/17?. NEED ADVICE/HELP!

    Hey the personal stuff is what were here for! You need a prescribed laxative I think!! On the other hand you probably havent been putting that much in the system so there's less to come out! But its more than 10 days and you're feeling bloated so call your doc or ask the pharmacist what the best stuff is at the drugstore! Good luck...lets us know how things 'go'!

    Wooooooo-hooooooo onederland!

    Congrats...you must be well past halfway if I remember right...time to put up some more 'lady in red' pix!!! Rock on!
  6. Now that I have been banded almost three months I am really realizing this is no free pass to weight loss! Its really hard work and yes, I still make mistakes so I really dont want to deal with people who know and expect 100 pounds to just fall off me. I'm glad I only told my family!!
  7. I agree, this whole thing is laugh or cry...I prefer to laugh!

  8. Your pictures are really impressive...you look so great!! Sometimes I get really discouraged but your pix and your funny captions really picked me up today!

    emptiness

    I think we all have days like that until we adjust. There's definitely a component for me of dissappointment, maybe that I didnt wake up from the procedure in a size 4! LOL This website and all of you are lifesavers from feeling alone in this...thanks to all!

    Blah day

    I know what you mean but I might need a dictionary to translate your slang! What's a whinge?..I'd like to start using that, it has a cute/funny ring to it!I was going to use some California slang on you but I couldnt think of any!!
  14. Thanks for the req! Yeah, BG is great, she's talked me off the ledge a few times!!I am on a plateau right now but I know why and need to make some changes...

    We learn as we go

    I am stating to get on my own nerves because I always bring this up when people talk about getting stuck and/or sick: Papaya Enzyme tablets!! Think I'll change my user name to papaya evangelist. Seriously I dont leave home without them...they relieve the stuck pain instantaneously and you dont have to spend the rest of the evening sick and in pain...I NEVER leave home without three pills in a keychain pill holder on my keys!!

    Band & port replaced due to prolapse/slip

    I dont have any words of wisdom but I am also curious on whether you would have to pay for that? I self payed but I chose a doc in my insured network in case there was a complication so it would be covered.

  18. Just looking at your ticker...you are halfway!! That is awesome! Congrats...I always like your blogs...get some papaya, man!

    I was so stuck I thought I needed to call a plumber

    Walmart, Walgreens etc. You know how the supplements are alphabetical...well its in there near the bottom after omega-3 and before saw palmetto or whatever! They are kind of delicious and remind me of the baby aspirin my sister and I used to snack on out of the medicine cabinet!LOL!

    Any protein drink ideas?

    I sometimes still buy those soups that come in a box (kind of like a milk carton, I think they are made by v8 and just whisk in the GNC unflavored protein powder and a little extra water...oh, I also put it in V8! I bought those test-tube gel protein shots at GNC and they taste terrible but they are 45 grams!Good luck!

    7/17/09 Onederland is a Tease!

    200.5? How about a haircut and a total-body wax and exfoliation? Maybe a sauna...seriously don't sweat it! Wow! That quilt sounds like a project to drive a person insane or keep them busy once they've been committed to the asylum!! I may have to force you into a lazyness intervention! I'm a trained professional, you know!

    Greg...do you have the Papaya enzyme tablets? I dont leave home without them! After my first incident involving a half a banana where i was in agony for one hour, finally yakked, and was still in some pain for another hour...and yes, after that I went to bed! I have gotten instant relief in chewing three of those tablets on several occasions where I think I just forgot to chew enough...I actually have them in a keychain pill holder on my keys!!
  25. I am from Pismo so I know its hard to be fat in this state...so many skinnies!! For good motivation, I also recommend reading the "Sweetspot" Blog by band_groupie. She is a big inspiration to a lot of people and she really 'keeps it real'!!
