lisa how r u???

don't know what happen i'm always the problem child. the dr didn't charge but i did have to pay for the hospital charge because i have such a high deductible. they said it wasn't general anth. but i sure don't remember any of it. i was only at the hospital about 2-3 hrs total. our meeting here in mt. p is on the 3rd mon at titus co. hospital the one in texarkana is on 2nd monday at the Y check noscales.com fro the date and time dont forget the heating pad!!

oh i guess i posted about that on mt. pleasant thread. i had a leak but dr k repaired it 2 weeks ago, but it was kinda of a relieve to find out about it because i had not been losing weight and stayed hungry all the time and really couldn't even tell i had the band until after the repair. that is why i so excited about the 5 lbs in 2 wks until now my total loss was only around 22 lbs since 7-14-06 and that includes 8lbs lost on pre op. i thought i was really screwing up with the dieting until the leak was found but now hopefully i am on track and when my stupid foot gets well i can start my walking before i turned my foot i was walking 2-3 miles 4 times a week. when the foot gets well most of my exercise will be in the yard and some walking i have just finished a master gardening class and will need to get 50 hrs of community work before i am a certified mg so between doing those 50 hrs and keeping my yard full of flowers i will be busy i didn't mean to write a book to answer a simple question oh yea the suport classes are really helpful betty and deb give a lot of advice and help

i'm doing much better after having the port repair done i hardly ever get hungry and i am losing weight now. i turned my ankle last weekend so my walking has not been up to par but i have tried to work in the yard as much as my foot can stand so i'm getting some exercise i've lsot 5 lbs in the last 2 weeks. the heating pad was my best friend the first 2-3 weeks after surgery hope you keep doing so great sugar bear

sugar bear i had bad gas pain in my shoulder and neck and i found that a heating pad help more than anything with the pain!!

hi beth been missing you and stephanie. hope u get to feeling better soon. my daughter turned 30 last week and i'm falling apart.lol i popped my back out of place 2wks ago lasst week i had to have my port repaired because of a leak and this week i broke my foot but the good news is since the port repair i've lost 5 lbs so that brings my loss up to 29 lbs i'm a slow learner.lol

lisa do you have a fill scheduled soon may be that will help with the hunger issue.

i have had another one of those weeks!!! my daughter turned 30 last week and i'm falling apart. 2 weeks ago i popped my back out then last week i had the port repair and this week i think i broke my foot it is all swollen and black and blue and hurts so that has put a stop to my walking once again but i.m still losing and i'm never hungry!!!

hey jana how u doing we haven't heard from u a loooong time hope u are doing fine. lisa how is every thing

:update: :eek: i a little excited i've lost 3 POUNDS this week!!!! i finally understand what a fill is suppose to feel like i cant' eat but about 2-3 TBS at a time but i am not getting hungry :clap2:

:update: I HAVE LOST 3 POUNDS THIS WEEK!!!!:clap2: finally i see what all you guys are talking about i have not been hungry (still like my chocolate just very small amounts) i can only eat about 2-3 TBS at a time try to drink 1-2 protein drinks to get my protein in and i have a hard time getting more than 800 calories in but i finally losing i'm a litttle excited :eek:

man donnamarie i know what you mean about having a hard time getting the protein in since the port repair i finally understand what being a true bandsster is it has been a week since the repair and i think i'm tighter than i was at first today i actually pb'd on h2o that i drank to fast!!!

how long has it been since your fill. it is really great to be tight enough not to hungry all the time i can only eat about a 1/2 cup total at meal time and i'm hardly hungry between meals i eat breakfast around 6:30 and don 't have lunch until 1:00-1:30 so i try to remember to taka SF or yoguart with me for mid morn.

hey at least they are moving in the right direction!!!

what's up lisa g u sure are being quiet!!!

the port repair was fairly easy just sore the last couple of days and yes the dr filled me up pretty tight and i am learning how to deal with that because i have never had this kind of restriction!!! my b day is 4-22 and i would like to be down 15 lbs by then so i guess my goal will be 231 by 4-22

hey lisa just read on the other board bout your meds that is GREAT i know the head hunger is bad really try to get that protien in hard protein not just shakes that fills the little tummy up and helps a lot longer and stay busy i guess those 2 things are the only advise i have to pass along.

have not heard from jana in a while and she wasn't at the meeting i just flower garden i don't do veggies i have really enjoyed the master gardener class my hubbie and i are both taking it we graduate on march 8 but then have to do 50 hours of community wk before we are actually certified mg. the procedure took a little longer than i thought it would i think i went into or room around 7:30 and was in recovery around 9:15 and left within minutes after that. i am just sore but nothing llike the orginal surg. i think i remember dr k saiying she fill it up good and i'm pretty tight but i'm doing mainly liquids today and its hard to tell how tight nothing was said about a follow up visit i guess i will call mon and get appt in 5-6wk in case i need a fill

yeah its a brown jug and i don't think i'll need it anymore but yesterday i had a master gardening class i really want to go to and after sitting for 3 hours at that i really needed it when i got home, but today i've been to the greenhouse and am getting ready to plant a bunch of seeds.

sherri jo you are doing great i was banded 4 days after you and i've only lost 25lbs and that includes the pre op too so i have been veriy discouraged and was kinda of relieved to find a problem with the band instead of the problem was all me. i don't make the best of choices with my food but because of the leak i was so hungry and really had a hard understanding people that would say they were never hungry and only ate about a 1/2 cup i could eat a buttload and hope i tighter enough now that has come to an end.

hey lisa how u doing!!! i got home about 10:30 this morn dr k repaired the port it is sore but not as bad as the first surgery and the good news is i am not hungry on and the second good news is dr k sent me home with a big jug of pain meds!!!

hey just a quick note to let my fellow julyers know that today i had my port repaired and now i hope i can catch up with all you losers!lol
