Yes mine growled and I could never figure out if was my big tummy or little tummy growling. It was like I had a tiger in my tank. It lasted for 4 weeks after surgery. It was very noisy. I was noisy with gas too. That lasted a month too. FYI. edie

I hate Dick and Dannie. edie and Amber

Pier13, I am proud to say I was able to get off 2 shots and 5 pills for my type 2 in 3 months after banding!! edie pm me if you want to chat about it

Your fill will make a difference. It did for me. good luck, edie

I am so glad you are a better looking and healthier person . I have been at goal for 6 months and still feel that high for getting to goal. edie

I am current on Showtime BB. I cannot tell if the house is going to vote out danny or dick. I think Dick won Pov. So I guess he will take off danny. Some are guessing he might save himself. I am embarrassed as a human being on how bad dick is treating everyone but danny. He told dustin he is going to take it easy on everyone but now does it when danny is not around. He is going so low on what he is saying. edie

I havent watched last nights showtime but the reading they put accross the screen says that amber called out eric for talking about her personal like to others in house (her abortions) . I think eric is leaving tonight. edie

That I used to be a head ((into drugs (never addicted )) and dropped them cold turkey 15 years ago when my company gave a six month warning for random drug tests. edie

I eat cheese too with no problem. Just eat it slowly and chew . edie

Eric is sure flapping his jaws. He is doing everything in his power to stay. I think it is driving the house crazy. Kail should go home for her sanity. Danota daughter is crying because no one visits her in hoh room. Ha. She should be scared .

If you want to do this, you can. If you don't want to meet your goals you won't. I had my hungry times and I had to eat a lot of sf popsicles to get past it. edie

Let this site be some of your support. Make some online friends for one on one. good luck, edie

Congradulations, Glad to know you are thinking about your band. The band needs the brain to work its wonders too. I used to use my exercise time to think about what I was doing, what I was going to do and then dream about the future me. edie

OMG People who complain when a store changes drive me crazy. My husband and I change the arrangement of our furniture every month. We joke that we should have wheels on it. Our friends are always surprised and we are amused that they act like it is not normal. We say having the couch in the same place for 15 years is not normal. edie

Nani, My highest weight was 276 and that area did go back to normal size. I think it would depend on where you carry your weight I do have a small apron. Thank goodness small enought not to cause me any health problems. edie

My start of regular food was scambled eggs for Breakfast and tuna fish with all the fixins for lunch. I added ANY soups I wanted. Then I added crisp bacon with my eggs. I started nibbling on what I would cook for hubby . I think the key for regular foods is SLOW and SMALL bites . Before you take another bite see how the first little bites feels. edie

Dylan and dear wife, You will love the band. You still eat but get full. My maintanance has been very easy too. In fact I am having a problem getting in enough food. It is the last thing on my mind. I am so active now too. Burning so many more calories than before. I think before I only felt full at holiday meals. I was always thinking about what I could eat next any other time. edie

Don't read this if you don't want to know who is up for nominations. I started watching my live feed from last night and Danielle has put up Jen and Kail of course. The twist is she has promised to get Jen off and whe wants to back door someone. She wouldn't tell JeN who. Even Kail says if she gets veto power she will take Jen off. Haven't seen what Dick thinks about this. Hubby has nascar/xgames on. The house knows about the airplane. Dick called out Eric about being a liar. Didn't hear anything about cry baby being pointed at for the same thing. It was sort of sickening seeing Dan planning with Jen. I thought she hated Jen for calling her a whore twice. Once for breaking up her current boyfriend and his previous girlfriend. 2nd for kissing Nick. I did hear her say Nick was a strategy while he was there for her. Ha. She is also walking around all real HAPPY and acting like she OWNS the place and in charge of what everyone does. Talk about letting power go to your head. edie

I am so tired of Amber saying I haven't lied to anyone. She has. She even admitted to Nick on her goodbye message to him. She admitted to him that she did know he was going, she was sorry she lied, she loved him... blah blah. Also Dick on Showtime told Jen she has cellulite on her ass and that is why she walked 10 miles on the treadmill each day. She says she knows she has it. I think Danielle is such a brat. edie

I'm curious how everyone decided their goal weight? I picked mine from a height chart. I will still have a 25 BMI . A friend who is very fit and a high school gym teacher says I should of stopped at 190!!!! She says I should decide when and where I "feel" good not look good at. She is concerned I am losing too much!! I am very confused . She has never shown those jealousy signs , she just thinks everyone is too hung up on numbers. I am diabetic and want to be a healthy as possible. She is confusing me. I am due from a yearly check up at my md who I adore. Somehow I wonder should my weight just be his decision ? Happy to have this "problem" edie:speechles

My vote is for calories and exercise. I know you don't want to hear exercise but GET REAL. edie

I started walking my 1/2 mile around 35 minutes 7 days after surgery. edie

Well you teach yourself some lessons with eating too fast. The pain. It feels like heartburn. That slows you down. The eating too much does too. You learn how much portion of different kinds of food you can eat. It changes all thru the process. edie

I think a bump is when you want to thread to go to the top of this list. I have brought up a thread before. Posted to it . Then when you look at todays posts the thread is at the top of the list. You have bumped it to the top of the list. edie

I ate sf popsicles for my latenight Snacks. I mean how many can you eat? The most for me was 4 for I think 120 calories. edie
