    Wow, U are doing so well, makes me look forward to being where u are. Ur there! smile ,breath, and enjoy.
  2. Hey! Welcome girly :-) can't wait to share my journey with u

  3. Well, I have had the BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER!! My family showed up at my door step, over 1,000 miles and 3 days with 3 kids.. just to come and see me and my family. I'm in heaven. Thank U GOD for my family.

  4. Today is my day 13 after being banded and I have this red big red rings around my incisions, And swelling. But went to the Dr. They said lets do some blood work. And then they say..nope no infection. So Here I am, looking at the nurse:huh: , she doesn't know what is it. Other than saying it must be a Allergic reaction. So it does itch. So did anyone else have this? You can go look at my pics and see what I am talking about. But am I alone in this problem?

    hungry in texas

    Hey there, I was so hungry too, But u can add more water to your protein shakes. Make them bigger :-) As long as u drink it all. I'm on day 13 of being banded. I didn't get any filler in the band, it just the band. So i have almost my whole stomac. So i feel hungry almost the same. But i can't eat a lot, still so if i do over eat , it hurts! So as far as clear foods, I took veg in the broth, and put like, what ever ur fav thing is, and i used boccie. And boiled it with it, and strained it. it helps a lot. And the best broth tome is the Veg. broth. I thought beef would be my fav.. Nope it is the veg. So you are in Texas? I am too :-) I love in Killeen, next to Fort Hood. So i looking forward to hear from u.
  7. Today little girl sick, got anti-bodys and this is the first time she has ever been sick since she was born and she is 17months. So hard to see her like this. Plus My son is starting on it too. Fun, HELP SANTA!!

  8. Well got a appointment for my ugly nasty lap band wholes. They are itchy and gross looking, But here is the funny part.. i already been to the Dr. about it, gave me meds, been taking them, but i know i need to know what is wrong. So today is a laid back day.

  10. Well i felt i had to walk for 10 at time. just threw the house, to get my gas to come down. But If u don't have any, then i would still try to move some. Getting on and off the couch was hard, and laying down.. man forget about it.. couldn't sit up by my self. So take ur time, but moving makes u less sore. But are only on say two take it easy. :-)

  11. OOO Girly! GAS! Yea.. Gas was my bad thing too. LOL I would hate to be getting up and down to do the walking every time i couldn't stand it anymore. I did it thow, But even now, 8 days out I'm still very gassy but It doesn't hurt like when u first get banded. Now i have Bad shoulder pain!. Feels like i slept on it wrong. Like bad. That's how i know i'm gassy and ...

  12. Well I'm feeling very itchy today, took off my strips and wow, I'm all welted and red, looks like i'm getting a infection. But it always looks like a reaction., itchy one.lol scared alittle.

  13. Sorry no pics today. Got too busy today. Did too much today, Still sore , but i can get up from bed and laying down by my self. But i'm dreading taking off my tape... going to be scray see my real wholes. But as for eating, eating smushy foods and it hurts some, when u eat even a little too much.. it is veru un comfy.

  14. hey girly! how have u been?

    The 11 day Post oped diet

    Reading the Book, It said 5 days, clear liquids and then just liquid then soft food and at day 11-14 u can eat whatever. I have been on the clear diet for 4 days, I was dieing , So i got some yogurt and eat it, It didn't bother me at all! It was great! So I'm going to do my soft foods now. Been working out great for me so far. But they say other have a harder time with foods. But I wanted to through this out there for other people. I was scared to try any food, being with my new land... how was it going to feel going down..LOL that kinda thing. But it was ok. Fells alittle different, but almost the same. I'm more hungry now i can eat. I wasn't eaten enough when it was just the clear liquids and I'm very hungry now. And I'm always up late, which is the worst time for me to want to snack. So i drink some milk, or have a popsicle. So this my thoughts on the 11 day post diet.
  16. I posted 3 new pics, the body shots are really bad , but it was over due for one, since i lost 14 pounds since my first one. I'm on day 5 post, and i'm done with the just clear liquids thank goodness. and i'm still in need of help. for everyday stuff.

  23. OO yea and I'm down 11 pounds from 241 to 229

  24. Day 4, after sugery, stressing, still not better, and need help around the house still, can't bend over and i can't lift my little girl. who is 21 pounds. also need help getting up from laying down. anywhere. So people who say 3 days recovery, and a week almost better, are way off. Well on this end anyways. But day 4 of liquids and I'm sucken, need some kinda more filling food. So, lookinf forward to my milk based shakes again.

  25. Today things are better, been ok with eating what i can, but there has been alot of cravings for those bad foods. But I'm just trying to get from being sore and hoping i don't have a infection already. Well off to get a pop, Man. i want some Pizza!
