hi ladies, let's redirect our attention away from love777 and towards assisting the original poster. wickman - yes the first couple of days truly suck for some people. i was lucky and didnt have any gas pains, but i truly hated that breathing machine. BUT, i didnt want Fluid in my lungs, so i did it. keep it up and remember that this time is for healing. just because someone says they lost x number of pounds in a week doesnt mean that a> they did or b> that you need to compare yourself to them. best of luck to you.

yup *shaking head*...

hell, i started at 400 and i only :huh2: lost 12 the first week... me thinks someone is telling a little white one...

perfectly stated Susan!

one time i was at sonic (pre band) and witnessed one of the kitchen workers opening a bag of their whipped cream with their teeth!!!! ewwwwwww

OMG, she did not!! no way! *searching*

congrats Kat!!

exactly BBK. 'i ate chicken and steak 6 days post op, is that OK'? sure, i did it too, no problems - you'll be fine... how do YOU know that they will be fine?

my insurance paid 90% and i didnt need it ...

that really doesnt sound right... i used to be an ops manager for a FMLA Center and we had people all over the country. i'd want to see that in writing ...

i mixed it with canned chicken, i think tonight im going to throw it in the oven and top it with some parm. cheese ...

LMP was 2/17 after miscarriage, lasted about a week. i had my TT on 2/29, still havent had TOM. just tested for HCG and it was negative (thank god - PS would not be pleased). how jacked up were your TOM's after plastics? were you back to 'normal' or were they really weird?? i KNOW if i dont start soon, i will have to see my OB, but i just wanted to get a general idea ...

nothing excessive pain-wise. just discomfort in the port area. good luck on the 5K

yup ... time heals most ... oh boy post-tt cramps are a bitch!

i made the mistake of showing DH the dip... he was droooling ... guess i need to stock up. i found it in Super Target.

protein and a little fat, maybe a piece of lunchmeat and slice of cheese?

hi, welcome to LBT. the only thing i have a problem with sometimes is solids in the morning. then i just have an Atkins shake and im good to go until about 11ish... i have no particular food that gives me problems, except for sometimes bread and it all depends on how 'doughy' it is. the only time i go to the bathroom and cough up (PB) is when im not following the bandster rules and have not chewed well enough, eaten too much or drank with my meals.. the band has helped me change my life. good luck on your surgery.

sounds like your Protein intake is low. if you cant get solid protein in, maybe a slight unfill to allow it or sprinkle some Protein powder in some of your liquid-y type foods. that may help.

cut, pull and reconnect ... it ummm, also kinda tightens ya up a bit ... VERY VERY good thing! VERY good thing... ummm, yeah ... very good thing.

well i bought it, made the chicken salad and will have it for dinner tomorrow night. im so excited to try it... the chicken and dip is barely ANY calories (points - im doing WW for a little bit)... so i'll let you know ...

if you are unable to care for your child, you need to surrender him or her. its just really so very sad....

extended TT is further than hips. my blog has extensive pics. panni is just getting the pannus - usually only below the belly button - cut off. TT involves both above & below BB, I also had hips pulled up, mons lift (google that one) and slight thighs. I'm a month out and feel GREAT... just wish the swelling would go down more..
