dont think it'll be Clinton nor Edwards... Clinton would be too controlling and there's wayyyyyyyyy too much damage control with Edwards.. yup, Bill Clinton cheated on his wife will in office, but people liked him so he was re-elected. Edwards hasnt had a chance to 'prove' himself.

oh, Libra... i'll keep you and your little one in my thoughts. C

Jennie - congratulations. i'm just 15 weeks today. yay! sorry to hear about shots - youch!

Like i said, i am hoping i get a lunch tomorrow and can get them out!! ------------------ this went to our entire extended family and friends (had probably 25-30 recipients...) WTF????? i've never heard of this. i mean yeah, he's my Godson so duh, i'm going to get him something, but everything on his list is $50+ !! i dont even know where to begin to respond to her email.

ok susan, where all do you get your coupons though? all i get are the ones in the Sunday paper...

susan, that sucks about Fay ... i'll keep you in my thoughts.

yes siree bob... hump day it is... woooo hooo ... at least i have a reason to pop that ice cold diet cherry coke now ...

just posting to say happy hump day everyone!

my fill got tight about 6-7 weeks and i went in for a slight unfill (1/2). starting about 11-12 weeks, i started getting loose again and went in and had a few cc's put back in. good luck

according to YOUR surgeon ... but that's fine... think what you want

ok ... so that means that HALF the surgeons say OK... IMO just because your surgeon said no (and others) doesnt really give you the right to call someone stupid.

Heather, i do the same thing ... even in restaurants ... i order a meal the "old me" would eat ... then i end up eating it all week as left overs..

but Froggi, every surgeon is different. just because YOUR surgeon says no, doesnt mean everyone's surgeon says no...

my surgeon said soda is fine, but EVERY SURGEON IS DIFFERENT. ask YOUR surgeon, if you are wondering... just because one surgeon says yes or says no doesnt mean that YOUR surgeon will. edited to add since i've been banded (almost 2 years ago) i've had maybe 4-5 sodas ... and it was at most half a can. i used to be a diet cherry cokaholic ... (2-3 20 oz bottles a day).. it just doesnt taste right anymore...

i just joined too ... i figure why not for a buck?

pineapple juice has worked for me.

actually, throwing it up should be an absolute last resort... if you do it too much, you are at risk for losing your band due to slip. best advice i can give is take small bites, chew until you cannot chew anymore and eat very slowly. put your fork down between bites, count to 20, whatever works for you. best of luck to you! :thumbup:

if you are having problems keeping just liquids down, i'm wondering why you have to wait for an unfill? does the doctor think you have slipped? when this happens, i suggest an immediate slight unfill to see if that helps.

me too. should be interesting. :thumbup:

from a fellow-'multi-tester' congratulations!!!
