gotta be me

Cheating destroys more than marriages--it kills the soul. After 20 years of being single (why would I put myself though hell again?) and raising my child alone, I still hurt every day for my daughter as well as for myself. My marriage was the best thing that had ever happened to me...right up until the time 12 years later that I discovered my friend liked my husband just a little too much and he is a weak sob. When he abandoned me and our child, he also abandoned "the other woman." Not to fear, he's not alone, he's now on his 4th marriage--serial monogamy my counselor called it--I call it "he needs to be shot." :angry

Of the 5 steri strips I had, 2 came off on their own on Monday morning July 17 (I was banded on July 6) in the shower, and the other 3 were taken off by my doctor later that same day at my first check-up.

Silly ticker thingy! :faint: It worked once, but not this time. :eek:

I was banded July 6, 2006 in Kansas. Yesterday was my follow-up and I've lost 11 pounds! :clap2: I really can't take much credit though as I felt icky for the first few days and hardly ate anything, but that's starting to change and my appetite is coming back. :cry I get to start on mushies today and solids in a week. I'm a little nervous, but am ready to get on with it. :eek: <?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:shapetype id=_x0000_t75 stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600"> http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/3;23;88;0;0/c/-11/t/-164/k/7ad5/weight.png[/img] [/url] </v:shapetype>

I also tried Meridia-twice! It was useless for me, and it cost me $130 for a 30 day supply.:eek: My doctor told me there is a small percentage of us who are not effected at all by this drug.

I agree, call your dr asap. I was having trouble getting myself to drink much for fear of throwing up and wound up with a bad case of bladder infection only 5 days after my banding (banded 7-6-06). Please take care of yourself.
