I wantto know what happened to our Bingo words?

Hey what do you guys do for a living? I am a homemaker.

I glad to hear that. I hope mine goes well next week. I know to have liquids ready ahead of time so I won't have to worry about it on that day. Where are those Bingo words JMO?

Yeah!!!!!!

Just checking to see if that worked.

HELP:help: How do I put my ticker.factory.com thing as my avatar

How do I get it on my signature?

Just checking to see if my ticker thing worked.

I will beleive me I will. I glad your fill went well. I hope mine does. I get it a week from today. I am a little nervous.

Well I did it!! I got in the pool this morning and I feel great and refreshed. Thanks for suggesting going early in the am. I think that I can do that most mornings. I weighed the same as yesterday morning so I guess the bathroom visit wasn't enough. Oh well, now that I am going to be exercising maybe I will start to lose and next week I get a fill. Welcome Mark! Congrats on your loss.

I don't know what some of that stuff is and I don't think I want to know. I did find out today that I am getting a fill next Thursday. Yeah!! Maybe I will lose some weight. I have been reading other threads on this site and I don't feel as nervous as I was about a fill. I don't know how my doctor will do it so I guess I will have to wait and see. I had a Lean Cuisine Pizza tonight. I added a little chicken to it to make it have more protein. I ate it all!! I was only planning on eating half but it was so good and I wasn't full so I ate the whole thing. I am full now and I won't need a snack before bedtime which is good. I am trying not to eat in between meals (except my protein) so I hope I didn't eat too much. I decided to wait until tomorrow to weigh again. The reason why is because I had a good visit in the bathroom today(if you know what I mean) so I hope the weight changes. Well it is off to take a bath and get to bed and read. TTFN

Thanks guys. I feel better. I will get up tomorrow and get in the pool early. When I am in there I can usually jog around for 30 minutes. I just need to start early. So that is what I am going to do. Thanks JMO for reminded me that I need to do laundry too. In fact I need to go start it now or I will be up all night. Thanks again for all of ya'll support.

Hey guys. I am a little discouraged. I gained a pound this week. I am trying to eat less but I need a fill. My doctor won't even consider it until after 6 weeks. This is my 5th week so I have another week to go. Everytime I call his office I get the answering machine and I don't get called back. They are very ineffecient at that office. I don't have any other choice but to keep trying. I am still officially on soft foods but occasionally I have something a little harder. My energy level is not what I would like for it to be. I sleep too much. It is way to hot to walk outside and I hate doing the gazelle. I know I need to do something but haven't figured it out yet. We have a pool but believe it or not it is too hot to exercise in it. I am having a bummy day. I think I might just go back to bed and read. Oh and my doggie has a hurt leg. I am so sorry to be such a downer today but hey what is this site sometimes for anyway. I am very excited about all the good reports from some of you. I think it is great that you are losing weight. I know someday I will be there too. I hope you all have a wonderful week and I will try harder to change my mood. Where are those Bingo words?

What is depo? I am assuming that it is some kind of birth control. Where are the Bingo words for today?

I fixed Hamburger Helper for dinner and it was very good and filling. I am trying to get this new eating thing down. I am not doing so good on the protein drink part yet but I got some stuff (unflavored) and that is a start. I am going to try it tomorrow with my cottage cheese. Then I can say I ate my curds and whey. ha ha I am going to try to get some more proteins in my foods as well. I fixed me some Crystal Light and it sure tastes good. I think I might be getting this all now. I have a breakfast bar that I like that has 10 grams of protein and I like it too. It only has 140 calories so I can have it for a snack sometimes. I have string cheese alot too. How much protein does one of those have I wonder? I am going to the store tomorrow so I am going to try some new things if I can think of some. Any suggestions? I am still on mushies but I am trying to merge into real food.

Don't try it with milk. Don't use a whole capfull like it says. It is too grainy. I am going to try it with another kind of drink later. WHere are the words for our Bingo game?:Banane27:

I have tried Mac & Cheese. Yum!!!! I don't really like it but it sure was good after all the same stuff that I have been eating. Today my hubby took me to breakfast and I had a pancake (SF syrup). I had a couple of bites of his eggs so I had some protein and he ate the other half of my pancake. WOrked out great and was much cheeper. I just bought some 100% Natural Unflavored Whey Protein. I ordered it from www.vitacost.com. I think it totaled about 16.00 bucks. I was told you can put it with anything and you can't taste it. It has 18 grams of protein per scoop. I hope it works. I think I am going to try it now with some milk. I will let you know how it tastes or not tastes.:Banane27:

I have a problem determining between feeling hungry and feeling full. I don't think I have felt either one since by surgery. I eat because I need something even though I am not hungry and then I don't know when to stop because I don't ever feel full. Am I just weird?:Banane27:

Well I finally got the blood work up done and the Edoscopy. I could feel it this time and it wasn't all that fun. Oh well it is over and I am NOT going to get anything else done. If it hurts it hurts. Maybe it is just healing. I don't know what is next but I hope nothing this week. I am tired. My hubby is off tomorrow and I don't want to do anything with the doctors tomorrow. Come on people and join the BIngo game!!! It will be fun. I will make a ticker thing later but for now I am going to relax and enjoy the ballgame and my hubby.

COME ON PEOPLE! LET'S PLAY BINGO!!! Edoscopy is a test where they look inside your stomach for any abnormalities. If I have any it is their fault because I didn't have any before surgery. It is a very simple test and you don't feel it or know it is being done. It is just a pain to have to go and get it done.

Update on today. I went to get some blood work up and the doctor didn't sign the papers to approve it so I was going to wait for him to get out of surgery but he never showed up. While I was waiting my Primary Doctor is accross the hall and I went over there to talk to her nurse about my blood sugar levels. She got me in to the doctor and she said that for now that was fine but to watch them. When I went back to the surgeons office he hadn't come in so I couldn't get my blood drawn today. His office called me this afternoon and ask me to come in tomorrow and get it drawn and to get an endoscopy. (again) What a pain. Why do they need another one of those tests? They are not my favorite. I don't know when I will see the doctor but it won't be this week. I will update you when I know more.

Well guys I went and had my upper Gi today. The doctor said that my band looked good (amen) but he wants to do some lab work. I have to go and give him some blood tomorrow and then go and see him on Thursday. Bummer. There goes my week. Well I guess it is worth it if I can find out why I still hurt. By the way, if anyone has to get an upper GI for any reason plan to be in the bathroom the rest of the day. I have had diarhea all day long. Not fun. Well I don't know anything else except that I am NOT hungry at all. I am sure my doctor will chew me out for not eating much. I will write more when I know more.

Did I do it right?

I have an appointment tomorrow to get an upper GI. I will let you guys know what's going on when I get home.
