this is one wk post op at a christmas party I was still in some pain can u tell:cry

Steph _ thanks for the pic advice I will try in a minute to see if it works I am not the quickest learner sometimes ' nat- sorry bout the mattress stress not getting a good nights sleep is no fun at all could not help but notice your bmi is almost under 40 congrats

Well I am a new bandster banded Dec the 18th but my husband has already lost weight because I have not cooked since surgery because he is afraid I will have temptation to eat the food so he cooks himself usually a one course meal as for my kids they have prob gained a little I let them snack more because lets be honest I want the junk food out the house my kids are under their ideal body weight for a four and five yr old and I blame myself because I have spent most of their lives on a diet and rarely buy junk food but now in the wks before surgery we started buying stuff I was craving and we have had some left so they pig out also my grocery bill has went down by about half

Kimmy some protein shakes have tons of calories watch out also if you do not work out and lose some of those calories you want lose the amount of weight u want to lose also remember until you get a fill the band is not working the way it is soppose too

Baby got back glad u are banded and okay I too can not wait for a fill the last two days since tom came to town have been horriable kay- i am a tummy sleeper with little or no pain most nights I can not wait to have lost all this excess weight and wear a bikini to the Bahamas okay now I am dreaming so I will go to bed oh and about the protein drinks I like the walmart 15 dollar can it is 2 lbs but be advised it is not sugar free but my doc approved it so I would ask before buying it oh and I tried my first soft food today a few fries baked and real soft went down fine I move to soft foods on the 15 th but was told to try them before hand see ya

I am happy to hear some people are getting fills soon so I can learn from their experience... I am so scared of the fills steph- love the butt photos hey can u email me how to post a pic mine are always too big and take up a whole page like I need something making me look larger nat- I am glad the football party was great sounds like u lead a exciting life madden congrats on your weight loss thus far dawn- hope belle is alright I will pray for her I know kids just do not listen they have to find out for themselves well off to bed if i can't sleep will be back oh and b man and nat I know yall won't but don't let those negative people get yall down we love yall

Thanks guys I am feeling much better today steph- I envy you I want to be a size 16 so bad congrats yeah nat u were right scar tissue and I do think working out this wk at the gym made it worse I need to take it easy b- man I loved your post on dec bandsters I posted my own to clear the air but you and nat said it best... I do not understand why they were all so mad to began with but oh well hope this doesn't get as blown out of hand as the donald rosie fight ha ha that was so funny

I totally agree with nat we have bonded, and just could not keep up with all the posts. I still will post here and I hope I am welcome this is not a cool girls meand girls we are here to offer support.. I was only banded on the 18th of dec and I hope to stay in close contact with each of you because we can compare weight loss and tips As many of u have said since we "left" yall can read the posts easier this was what we hoped to accomplish by some talking in different places I will keep up with u guys I love this thread It has helped me through some hard days lets not be ladies like the guys think we are and bitch and complain over ever thing come on we are smart women lets make this work

Okay yall I have to tell you about my experience yesterday. My friend and I set off to Murfreesboro to shop this is the town I had my surgery in. I live about 30 miles from there. Well we went to eat at Logans and I ate soup Like always and had before I ate had experienced pain beside my port as I described to you guys the other day. I took a gas x and dismissed the pain because I was wanting a day out with my best friend.:girl_hug: we went to some more stores and my pain became where I could not stand it. So my friend drove me to Mtmc where I had my surgery and my wait began... first they had me sign in and realized I had just had surgery on the 18th there. then they took my blood pressure which was high due to my stress and pain ps. I never have high blood pressure so the doc saw me they did not call in the doc that done my surgery which I wanted them to do but anyways decided to do a catscan and make me drink a god awful banana shake... well 5 hrs later I did the cat scan and the result where normal but I had good news the pain I was feeling wasn't even coming from my port because it was far away from it It was actually scar tissue forming :phanvan I was happy to hear my band is in place and so is my port but they did realize that my catherter mispelled I am sure caused me to get a urinary tract infection so ladies my 5 hour wait was not in vein I wake up this morning knowing everything is where it should be :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: OH and by the way the dec bandster crew should not be mad I have posted there since we started this thread bye 4 now but not forever
