I grew up around many hunters and yes they eat what they hunt. I however do not agree with it. BUT I have always been in conflict with my self over this issue. I will eat anything that comes from a grocery store, but not from family going out to kill wild animals. Those animals are free, and out living their lives. However, I know that we hit deer every day on our way to work. I have a cop as a brother who tells me it cost them time assessing wrecks due to deer, which causes insurance rates to rise, etc. I have always been in conflict over this issue. In addition I hate guns in the home! It really makes it hard for a Redneck Girl!...lol

kirafiki, i always see wisdom in your post. How do you know if you stretched your pouch..I guess I should research that!

I only know that I tried it pre band and if I ate anything I had a greasy orange mess in the bathroom and that is not good when you work in a place where you have multiple toilets. The idea is great but think about exactly what you eat or you will get that mess. Which is what you should be doing without it.

i had to go in for a post op check up at the stage you are...are you sure it's for a fill?

Same issue here. Just after my fill I was back to normal. I was feeling restriction and not hungry often. Now a week later I can't get hardly anything down. Mostly back on mushies. It's like I'm tighter than right after the fill. It's good b/c I'm not starving or anything but I want more options for meals. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

beach......

lost......

spot......

fyi..too much iron will do that too...taking multivitamin and eating high iron foods like cereal etc will do it...as a teen i was freaked out by that and learned that was what caused it.

dirty.....

Leeks......

Yes that smell is horrible! Never knew it was yeast..good info.

I've had this problem for years. What i do is put an over the counter antibiotic in my bellybutton.. after a few days it clears up...Ive never known why but anytime I try to clean it out with anything other than water in the shower it happens...if I use my finger or qtip it will happen...trust me..put some OTC antibiotic in it and you will be fine.

yay! I have restriction! This is great. I went to mushys today and I can feel it. Finally the wait is over for me to realize that I did have this surgery..lol

I was filled last week. It was too tight. I went to the waiting room and had to drink water. I think I might have gulped it. I couldn't handle the pain. I got so freaked out by the pain in my chest. I told them I thought it was too tight. They had added 2cc's. So I went back and he took out 1cc. Now I think it is too loose. I made an appointment for this coming week. My question is...I can eat whatever I want. I can gulp water. I feel just like I did before my fill. Am I right to want them to put in another .5 cc's? I am so confused. I see other people post that they aren't restricted until several fills. Am I just expecting too much?

I went today and they did give me .5cc's. I swallowed the Water just fine. I really do think the problem was I forgot to sip but this will do for now. Thanks for the reassurance!

Lapbandtalk does that count?...this is fun!

That is awesome! You should be so proud!

Sounds familiar! Also, sounds like good advice. Have a great trip. Sounds like you have things together so you will look HOT. You go girl.

I never thought about it Steelergirl but I have heard in the past that it is carbs so I guess that would hender the weight loss even more. Everything I eat is low/no carb. I know what it does to me to include it. So it would make sense that alcohol would be the same. Thanks! As far as needing help, that's why I was asking here b/c I never needed alcohol before surgery. I would drink often but not addicted or anything. Now that I have no food to rely on I think I needed a cruch. I mainly wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else.

if you have the original wii fit..it's 19.99 for the extra disk...the same board is used

I went on my lunch hour. I was fine. I had chicken broth all day and crystal lite. Then you have time at home to see if everything is OK or if you need a refill.

I've been making deals with myself to help me through. I can drink today if I don't tomorrow etc.. Also, I have been cutting back a little at the time on how much I allow myself. I added an app on my ipod touch that is from myfitnesspal.com and I have been putting in everything I consume. It helps to see how many calories the alcohol uses up.
