I am having the same problems. When I am stressed I am so much tighter and I want to eat like I used to. I just try to eat jello or something that isn't bad for me and keep on going. Good luck!

For Women- Underwire Bras
Fawkes replied to BooCakes's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Like many of the other posters, I did not go back to work for a week after my surgery. I went right back to wearing my underwire bras and did not have some pain, but it wasn't anything that I couldn't deal with. After a while, I didn't even notice. I have noticed that if I eat a little to much and am sitting, I can feel the pressure. It is better if I stand up - so it is a good way to help stay on track. good luck! -
Does Anyone Have a Partner or Spouse That Likes Them "Thick," "Heavy," or "Chubby?"
Fawkes replied to BrentinLA's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am going to agree with the people who posted before me. We are getting married in June and I was very concerned that he would change his mind. He definitly likes fluffy girls. He has been very supportive and we had several conversations before my surgery that were for my benefit. He loves the person I am inside and wants me to be healthy. I have lost 68 lbs since April and he still loves me and is still attracted to me. Good luck - I know it is not an easy thing and there are still times that I wonder, but I have to have faith in our love. -
When I worked in the trauma unit it was standard to drop an NG tube on trauma patients to evacuate the stomach prior to surgery. There are many reasons that you could have one, trauma, drug overdose, gi bleeding - not just for feeding ~ something to think about

I am sorry that I haven't been in touch. I have not been on there is a lot going on here and I am having a lot of trouble with my band. I am glad that things are going well for you and that you are losing. Good luck with the moles.

So, that is the update on me... How are you doing? I see you are a teacher, what grade? Are you excited about the new school year? I have a junior high aged son. He just turned 13 on the 20th. He is playing jr. high football. He loves school for the social aspects of it. He is a smart kid but doesn't apply himself. The teachers always become aware of this. He is very charming and unfortunately, very funny and has a great personality, and they don't push him for his best. He makes them laugh, makes them love him and in the long run, he grazes by on B's, a few A's and maybe one or two C's. But could be a straight A student if he would apply himself.
If you by chance work at Arab Jr. High(8th) grade, or AHS, lol beware, he will be on the prowl and is looking for teachers with a good sense of humor. haha
Hope you are having a great Monday (07-27)

So I have this ugly gash that is attempting to heal on my right arm, and while not using that arm, I over-compensated the left one and now I have a ganglion cyst popped up on the inside of that wrist, which I am now having to wear a brace on.
Any and all arm exercises are out for the time being.
I still go to the gym 3-4 times a week and am in the process of getting my own tread mill set back up to use each day in the morning before work. Maybe that will boost my metabolism into working.
I don't have time for breakfast...ever. I do the protein shakes, about three to four times a week. I was doing fresh frozen fruit, a small yogurt and skim milk, w/prot. powder. I started using the weightloss shakes with ice and protein powder. Not sure how that will work but the taste is different, so that is good. It taste like a choc. shake, until it starts melting... yuk. (to be cont)

I have had two fills and I love the restriction right when I have them done, but it doesn't seem to last long. I have gone from a size 24(sometimes 26) pants to a 16. I even wore a pair of size 14 shorts while on vacation. My hubby says I am still losing inches, but I can't tell it.
I guess I am getting a tad depressed with it all.
I started some online classes to boost my mental self-esteem. I went to the dermatologist in Cullman to have three moles looked at, two on my face, one on my arm. He saw another on my arm that looked "funny" he said and decided to remove it also. It is the one that came back abnormal, so he had to cut "a quarter pound" of meat out to get all the abnormal cells. (to be cont)

Hi, I am sorry I haven't replied before now. I haven't been on this site in so long. Summer, Vacations, Work, issues at work. The gym and family responsibilities have bogged me down lately.
I don't guess I really have any hints, I came here today to get some from others, really. I am at a stand still and have been it seems, forever.
I started out at 247 and this morning the scales showed 217. It sucks. I had lost down to 214 before and I keep going up and down between 214 and 219, this has been going on for six weeks now. (to be cont.)

If you get this twice, my computer blinked out, so I am resending. Things are going ok - I can't wait until my first fill on Wednesday. I am a little disappointed so far in what I have lost, but at the same time, I guess I expected more than I should have. I hope that things are going well with you. If you have any helpful hints or pointers I would be more than happy to listen . . .er um read :-). Have a blessed day - Jen

Fawkes replied to lingling's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Jen and Cali, I am having the same problem and, while I am sorry that you are, it makes me feel better. I have been told that it will go away when we get used to eating again. I am hoping! Good luck! -
Anyone else scheduled for April 16th?
Fawkes replied to scoobydoo's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Bee, I am still on liquids too and I am so tired of them! :wink: I read where others are eating and I am so jealous, but I keep telling my self 2 more weeks and it will be me. I have tried grits and mashed potatoes so far and they are ok. The problem that I am having is that I feel so tired, and I keep getting so queasy throughout the day and I can't figure out why. It doesn't happen at the same time. When this happens, everything inside seems to tighten up and I can't drink to ease it up. Anyone else? If so, what are you doing? This has only started in the last 4-5 days; before that I was feeling SO GOOD! :smile:Anyway, I hope that everyone is doing ok.
