Spring into March 2010 Bandsters
Carosel2002 replied to NYSparklegirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yeah Ginger I've had that pain too. I went all last month with horrible pain on the lower left side. The odd thing is, one day it just disappeared??:thumbup: Haven't had it since!! Now my new "pain" is port ache when my tummy growls?? Figure that one out??:smile2::biggrin: My weight is staying the same...up 2 or 3lbs...down 2 or 3lbs :smile2:. As long as I'm not gaining it'll be all good:thumbup:!! -
Hi Bubba! Hope you're doing well and things are smoothing out the best they can right now! Thinking of you, hugss!

I'm with the both of you!! Too scared I'll not lose anymore, but mostly I think I'm just too cheap right now to buy new stuff!! :blushing:Every day I'm hiking up my scrub pants at work and trying to find someone with sewing skills!! My sister wants to take me to The Mall of America in the fall for a MAJOR shopping binge!! Can't wait!!:thumbup:

Port tightening/cramping
Carosel2002 replied to momofwaz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've experienced that too, Dammit!:thumbup: I feel a pressure and a kind of pulling. I think it may be that my port is close to the surface (at least that's what the Doc has said). I just place a hand there and...well...:smilielol5: keep going!! -
Ohhh...yeah let me know!! I mean if you have to go for another type of surgery by all means!! Whatever you need to be better!! When I started this last summer, I said I wanted Banding first (because it's reversable and less invasive) but will do RNY if needed to be healthy! Now that I know more about the Gastric Sleeve I may choose that if needed! So you go for it Hun!! Find out all your options from here on out!! Hugsss!

Big hugs!! I've had that same feeling about things in the past and for better or worse I got through it! I know you will too! I'm waiting for fill #3, but that won't be until July 12...in the mean time Special K Protein Bars are my best friend!! I've got them everywhere: my purse, at work, at home and in the car!! (although they kinda get icky and melted in the car
) I'm still struggling with the exercise increase ...meaning I don't wanna do it!! LOL -
Just read your last blog...:crying:sorry you've had a crummy week! Hugs and thinking of you!

Need Support Feeling Depressed!!!!
Carosel2002 replied to jen36's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mornin' Jen I'm with ya. The last couple weeks I've been feeling like I'm more obsessed with food now then before all of this:sad:. What can I have; what can't I have; what's too fattening; watch the portions......:eek: What keeps me going is the fact that even though the scale slowed down, it's NOT going up!!! Keep reminding yourself that every pound you lose, even if it's just a few more, keeps you healthier!!! We can do this and we WILL do this!!! Much hugs!:tongue2: -

Sure Bama!! Go ahead!! We could all use that extra shoulder to lean on!!

Let's Play - What's your favorite Mushie?
Carosel2002 replied to mmesmama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
1/2 cup of mashed potato with a pat of butter...mmmmmm:drool: and of course sugar free chocolate pudding!! Ohh and don't forget a sugar free fudgesicle!!! I did pureed ham salad and tuna salad...that was very satisfying also! A medicine cup of food may be too small, but check the ounces he/she is recommending. I think 1/2c to 1c of pureed food is more of a filling meal, but check with your doctor. :biggrin: -
What is your goal weight for your height?
Carosel2002 replied to gingerjane's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
LOL :biggrin: Yup!! Tall people on here!! I'm 4'10" and my goal is 130, for comfort not really size. I'm too stocky of a gal to be "petite"!! -
