Morning Junebies, Barbara- So sorry to read about all you have been through, I hope this slight unfill helps, I bet your starving!!!! My scale hasn't moved much, it goes down a few pounds and then plays pee-a-boo for the next few days. The only real problem I have had is (WARNING TMI) is constipation. The doctor has me on 3 tbls of milk of magnesia and 2 tbls of Benefiber everyday, and i still only go like every 5 days, and the 4th and 5th day it hurts. I would think all of that would make me really go!!!! Ok here is the biggie, TODAY is my FIRST day of not smoking. I decided if I was going to get healthy I needed to quit that nasty habit too! I really, really hope I can kick this habit without gaining any lbs back! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!!!!

well this might be TMI but AF started yesterday and that might have contributed to my craving hunger. They are very irregular(PCOS) which was a major reason I did this to be fertile. Now I have no appetite today due to the bloating and cramps and feel like it is pushing extra on my tender incisions. Did you all feel the same if this happened during or near when you weren't feeling your optimum? But I like looking at the weight going off daily right now (12 lbs since Saturday)

I'm back, guys! I was out of town since yesterday afternoon, without internet access. First, the good news: I've lost another 2 pounds, which I am SO excited about. Second, the not-so-good news (also TMI, so don't read if you're sensitive): I haven't had a bowel movement since the day before surgery. I'm trying not to get worried, since I think it is just because I haven't taken in much solid food so far. Third, the so-so news: I'm trying to wean myself of the painkillers that I was prescribed. I try to take as few as I can, so that means I'm in a little pain. It usually isn't bad unless I'm leaning for something or trying to bend down, so that's a relief. I've been fairly good about staying on my diet, although I had a roll when I went out with my parents to a steakhouse tonight (but I made sure that they were chewed to a pulp before I swallowed). I usually have one protein drink a day, at least one yogurt, cream of wheat or oatmeal, soft vegetables, and sometimes a soft omelet or scrambled eggs (which my nutritionist does consider to be "pureed texture," thankfully). Chickb13, dmtjet, forgve70x7, suzielondon, I added your updates to the spreadsheet. I'm currently having computer issues, but I'll try to get the updated spreadsheet posted tomorrow.

Nope no key! They are essay questions that I have to read and some of them are really BAD! Unfortunately I don't drink coffee and since being banded the only kind of dairy that I can do is yogurt and cheese. I don't know what the problem is, but milk, ice cream and especially milkshakes make me fill up with gas (I know TMI) like there is no tomorrow. I get terrible cramping in my stomach. I keep saying that I wish I drank coffee because it always seems that the only things to drink are sweet, besides water. Well I have a meeting to go to, so I will check in later. Thanks for the hugs. I am going to try some butternut squash soup for dinner tonight and it is time for a protein drink.

Jackie - Hugs to you - just cuz you the scales aren't moving - you can't stop posting :tongue2:. You have been sick - aunt Flo and lack of exercise. These are all contributing factors. How is the being sick - are you well enough to get back on your elliptical?? Here are my suggestions - If you are feeling up to it get back to exercising - drink your water very important - even if you don't count calories write down what you are eating - being sick you may have been consuming more than you thought you were or even maybe not enough - you gotta vary them like every couple of day - lower your salt intake - don't get on the scale for 1 week - just take it one day at a time and concentrate on eating very healthy I know this next question is a TMI one - but how are you doing in the potty department (I ask this cuz I haven’t been doing well - about every 3 days) Like Ruby said you have lost 78 friggin pounds - That's the number you have to concentrate on right now - our weight loss is going to slow sometimes – Look at your before & after pic’s – they show the success that you have achieved… Don’t lose sight of that. Be proud of what you have accomplished so far in just a little over 6 months. This too shall pass – relax the stress is a big factor in our weight problems – so just chill – take it one day at a time and the scales will move again. Now, I want you all to tell me this when I hit my plateau – which should be hitting me soon – I know that this is easy for me to say – but I really feel that we have to think about where we where a year ago and where we are today – We are in such a better place – we are lighter – healthier and more confident. Peaches – Your Bday is the same as my DIL …. Ok - Good Morning Gang - How you all had a good night.. Remember how I tell you all that my legs ache at night - I think it may be lack of water. - I am not always good about getting my water in - and yesterday I made a point of it and last night my legs didn't wake me up hurting like the did the night before - but again I didn't exercise last night (Thurs is one of my allowed days off) - so today I will make an effort to drink my water and I will be exercising tonite - so I will let you know Sat morning if my little experiment works?? Ok Gang just my usual morning ck in - Today's challenge is to DRINK YOUR WATER - I will be tallying tonite...

I wasn't kidding, but you know that term, "Godsmack"? Well, i found those pounds since I got home. No BM though. Took a laxative and still waiting for it to kick in. I know. TMI,eh. Is the RV one like the brochure you had? Steph - I don't know what to tell you about Michael except to make sure he understands that it is his behavior that you don not like and not him as a person. Most times when kids act up, it is for attention, to make sure you love them. So again, make ure he knows it is the behavior you don't like. Now, I am going to show all of you that I have too much time on my hands but.........have you seen the shows that Maury, Montel and Sally Jesse used to have on about troubled brats? Maybe one of those boot camp thingys would work great for him.. Make him realize how great home is and teach him some respect. It always worked on those shows and those kids were only gone one or two days. Don't know cost or anything, but you can google it. Well, got to go make dinner. check back later. If I can find my way off the farm. I am 1500 points from the mansion.

Phyl - Angel will take about a month I guess - bear isn't bad - it' my angel baby with her skinny legs and fat body (mommy's fault) and big top knot.. When are they (time warner going to fix you ) Hugs about your Uncle sorry to hear - will give you real hug in a little bit.. Steph - No it wasn't TMI - Yes I wanted the whole scoop do i yell at you about snowmobiling - what are you doing crashing putting your back at risk - I know you are young - but still if you have a bad back you gotta be careful - can't help it it's the Mom in me.... Donna - I have played a bit - will try again - I just wasn't on the computer much this weekend - I am parking wars - pathword (can't beat Steph she must have a dicinoary in her head) possum toss... and LBT - only so many hours in a day.. Glad to hear your not in Jail Ok I gotta get to work - leaving at noon to meet up with Phyl & Linda !!!! Got my camera - so we will post pics..

Thanks Janet. I figure I will try to go up later next week. I have been gone for 2 weeks and only been home to head off to work at the nursery. I think the nursery is closed on the 4th. So if I head up on Thursday I can help get dad to the 4th of July parade. He has NEVER missed it. I think we have a plan. Figure we will get a lawn chair and find him a place in the shade, drop him off early, go park the truck, and that way he can sit and enjoy the parade. Well weighed today, am going to rejoice in the 1/2 pound loss, that's what I'm telling myself anyway. I exercised, and counted calories and it is 1/2 pound. Well I haven't had a good 'BM' since I was gone, so I'm hoping there is another 1/2 pound in that. I know TMI. Today's goal is to be VERY accurate in my measurements. I know that cottage cheese with fruit and nuts keeps me full, so I am going to go get lowfat or fat-free cottage cheese and measure accurately. Then I am getting deli turkey and lettuse leaves for lunch, probably ditch the cheese and increase the turkey slices, more fill for the calories. Tonight is BBQ steak and aspargus. Then somewhere in there, yard work and a walk. I'll take the 'babies', it will be good for them. With Elyse still not feeling well they haven't had a walk in a week. Janet, I agree with you about MJ. How could he not turn strange after not having a childhood. I liked him, but I will confess to being more of a ....wait for it....yep this is embarrasing...Donny Osmond fan. I even belonged to his fan club and can STILL remember his birthday. Oh, his song 'Puppy Love' would melt my teen heart. I also was a Mac Davis fan, sad but true. I went to 3 of his concerts. So that you know that I'm not a total geekoid, I also saw Three Dog Night and KISS. But I am a love song groupie. My own version of a knight in shinning armour.

Weirdest None-Scale-Victory - I'll go first
chiquitatummy replied to chiquitatummy's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Lol, this is one of my fav NSVs too. I'll take the TMI a little further even (because if we can't do this here then where else?) and share that I can't get over being able to see between my thighs when I sit down, that there is "space" and a visible kitty cat. lol!! -
MOM is down the hatch but will the other hatch open...TMI. I bought the cherry flavor this time and its sooo much better!

Ok I drank a non fat hot chocolate on the way to the fill this morning and had a handful of benefiber powder.............It helps combinging hot water with fiber for me. SInce I upped the protien I have been so constipated!! TMI I know, i know.......

(I effed up the quote somehow and I don't feel like re-typing this!) ZZ - "Baldies are hot, btw. TMI - anyone else have issues with not being 'regular'? Seriously annoying... I miss my bathroom time. Maybe I need more fiber... Maybe I should add some Benefiber into my morning protein shakes? Lol." ZZ - Oh yes, baldies are HOT! Hubby is the same as B and "Bics" his...I love it. People tell him he looks like "Stone Cold"! LOL And regarding your TMI...I have to put two teaspoons of Benefiber into one of my protein shakes AND take two Fiber Choice chewables. If I didn't, I'd be a "once a week-er" and miserable. BG - Glad you had fun...and yes, you looked cute!

My husband asked me yesterday what I wanted for my first real dinner--I told him SALMON! Man, that does sound good. I'm sure it will be the best thing I ever tasted as well. I'm very anxious! Thanks for asking how I'm feeling. I've actually had a very hard week. I started exercising and just walked for two days for 20 minutes each. My muscles got SO sore, even though I stretched before and after. Well, the third day I was really sick, :sickprobably had the flu, and am still struggling with that. I wondered if it could be a band problem or a complication like an infection or something (chills like I've never had--teeth chattering for hours and shivering under two down comforters with a heating pad, horrible headaches, tiredness--I slept 20 out of 24 hours one day--and just terrible gas pains in my lower abdomen. Tonight I'm quite a bit better but still not 100%. At least I see improvement. Hope it wasn't all just an allergic reaction to the exercise!:phanvan Thanks for asking! I'm sure that's TMI!

May 24 Surgery Day
yescres07 replied to LoveMyBypass's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Mine went away after about an hour n then it got better but they gave it to me through Iv first two days are going to be tough I think after morphine they gave me dilaudid which helped a lot. Ugh I feel so badly you're going through this. I found no underwear helped ease it also (sorry for the tmi lol) Sent from my iPhone using BariatricPal -
Confessional - Lets post our cheats/confessions/etc so others can see that we are all human
Frustr8 replied to Matt Z's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have a confession to make and it is not of dietary variety. I am posting on the hopes of making someone in BariatricLand feel less alone. If it is TMI I apologize but here it goes. Among my problems that my future RnY surgery will either abolish or lessen is lymphedema in my lower legs, not a fun condition to have. I am supposed to be taking Lasix which is a strong enough strength I have to supplement with K Clor so that I don't deplete my body's Potassium,levels . Do I like doing it? Not especially. I am currently drinking 84-120 oz of varied fluids daily, one because,i'm in training for surgery and two because I have 3 healthy functioning kidneys so can clear that much.. Plus I don't get so hungry when I'm full of water. So why would I want a medication that only makes me void more? So I confess I haven't been super compliant. Well I did see my surgeon Dr Needleman on Tuesday, anybody who follows me knows that, well in the chit chat he asked if I had any circulatory problems, I am a truthful little elk even if it makes me look dumb, so I told him about the lymphedema and faulty drainage from my legs." Hmmn" he says" one leg more than the other?" Left one I said , pulled off my shoe and sock, then he says " You are taking your Lasix faithfully, aren't you?" Oops I'm caught in the cross-hairs now, I m8ght have temporarily fooled PCP but I'm not going to fool THIS dude. So I said yes and I have been good every since To save on b b 73rd linen and the carpeting I have put myself in adult pull-ups at night. See I am also To be complient with my c pap until my surgery, I sleep more soundly and nature calls and I make my way to the pretty porcelain plumbing I can make it there with less embarrassment. Doesn't it figure, my bedroom is at the front of the house, that other room at the rear so I have to go through living room, dining room and kitchen to get there. And if I should have to dribble in the kitchen that's a fall risk. So pride has had to take a backseat for awhile. I figure as I get thinner i.Will move faster and get there in time again. So folks if you're walking with me in this,it will be better soon and it's okay anyway. Your friend Frustr8 .aka. Princess Tinkle-pants👖 -
Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot
Charlene K replied to IndioGirl55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
CONGRATZ! ON THE 75LB. Okay, how many calories are you eating? Give me a sample of what you eat in a day. I need help! By the way, I got a flu shot yesterday. Then I came home and ate a lean cuisine..two bites into it and yuk! pb'd. It lasted for an hour. I am so sore. I think some of it is the flu shot. I don't know when I am going to learn to chew , chew , chew. You would think that I would have learned my lesson last week. I have never been one to throw up unless I am deathly ill, but yesterday I was praying that food would come up. It is so painful. Okay, TMI. -
Congrats to your son Lisa. And congrats to Pinkylee on selling the house. I went to Lake Tahoe for 4 days. I had never been before. We had a great time. I go back to work on Monday . Good news is....I was 175 this morning! We went to the gym each morning at the hotel we stayed at and went swimming twice, so that helped. I did have a really bad PB yesterday which lasted for 2 hours(sliming, etc.) UGH! I think it was from a chicken wing. Sorry-TMI! Have fun at your Dallas get-together. I wish I could be there!

Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot
angelshere replied to IndioGirl55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Whew! I just spent the past few days with a major stomach bug.... The good news is, I finally lost the rest of the weight I put on not long ago and am back to 289. Between the barfing and the gas and the fever, it was not a fun way to go. I know, TMI! LOL! ElaineC: try tracking everything you eat on Fitday.com or dailyplate.com they help me keep track of protein and calories (I'm still on mushies, too). Also, try to drink lots of water, as soup has a lot of salt in it and can make you retain water (at least it does that to me). Good luck everyone. It is so nice to be able to read all your posts again. You are all helping me stay with this, as I haven't been driving an hour and a half to my doctor's support group (not with gas over $4/gallon!). You are a great support group! Nancy -

Morning everyone. I feel great! I slept really well, with my "pillow mountain" as my DH calls it. Under my knees, on each side and under my head. Woke up with a little soreness in my abdoman, but nothing really too bad. I took some tylonal last night and this morning, but not the persription meds they gave me (demerol). I hate how that stuff makes me feel, so thought I would just take some tylonal. Ok a bit of TMI comming... I had my first BM just a few minutes ago. I honestly didn't think that would happen for a few days. In the past when I had my gall bladder out, I couldn't for about 4 days. This one came just as normally as it would. So far, so good. I must say thanks to the Dr. as he must have done a great job!!

Christmas Challenge This is what I have so far: Nicole - Level 3 (way to go!!!) Lindaa - Level 2 Janet - Level 2 Kathy - Level 2 Just a reminder for everyone else, between Dec 15 to Jan 2: Level 1 is to maintain (not gain) Level 2 is to lose 1-4 lbs Level 3 is to lose 5 or more lbs Peaches: Here's a few more advantages of exercising at home: * You can do it when the kids are in bed - no babysitting * You can choose the TV channel * If you want to get naked and have hot steamy somethin' afterwards, go right ahead... then hit the shower!!!! Ops, maybe TMI Salsa: congrats on the fast weight loss. Could you share your weight loss secret with us... what you're eating, & exercise plan. Sure could use some new ideas. I think I'm going to go in and get a little bit taken out on Wed. It actually hurts to eat most meals. Then within a few bites I have a gag reflex that makes me want to throw up. Sometimes I can work through it, but other times I have to go PB. Some days and meals are worse than others... but I think it might be best to get a slight bit taken out.

Hello all. Just checking in. I have been in the hospital since early yesterday morning. Nothing real serious.a viral thing. I was dehydrated and things coming out both ends. SORRY FOR THE TMI!!!! I am really tired and still really weak. Doc only let me come home because I have have none of the above for the past 8 hours and I begged him to come home promising to rest. Sure rested alot. Came home and deep cleaned my house because I have to get the 'sick germs' out. LOL But seriously NOW I am going to rest because I feel wiped out. I am still in for Mall Of America whenever it works for everyone else. Let me know. Miss you all. Phyl so great to see that you are posting!!!!! TTYAL

Good morning everyone!!! Just wanted to pop in and tell you all to have a great day. Lindaa good luck today. Sounds like maybe you may have a touch of the flu amoung the other things. TMI here again all! I have the problem of being 'stopped up' all the time. I tell you it is terrible so to me I would love to be 'cleaned out'. It is 30 below zero here today. One of my clients for today called and said they were canceling for today because it is to cold and I called the other and suggested the same to their parents so I now have the day off. Going to read for a while today and then early afternoon head to the gym again. I'll get warmed up there. I am really revved up about being back in the gym. Take care ladies and make good choices today. TTYL

Aza, congrats on your date! Welcome to our group. This is an awesome group, so feel free to get comfy and jump in. Hey gang. I have been one busy bee. I won't stay still. I've been out and about w/my dad, visiting family. What's up w/that??? I just can't stay still. I've had some Muscle Milk and Water for Breakfast, and cream of broccoli for lunch. I'm still trying to figure out this full/satisfied thing. With time, I'm sure I'll get it. I've been drinking since I woke up. It may be hard for me to get in all the necessary water. I feel so full after a few sips. For dinner, I'll probably have a bit more cream of broccoli Soup. I'm starting to feel a little gassy. Maybe TMI, but I went #2 the day after surgery. Of course, liquids in, liquids out, but I went. I went again today, too. I'm still staying at my parents b/c I just feel more comfortable right now being here. I hope everyone's doing well. I will be back later to check in w/ya'll.

Karri, Jackie, Janet, Ruby--you guys are better than all the Bloody Mary's I could have drank last night. (I stopped at 2). Karri, You gave me a goal to keep losing even without restriction. I can do that too. Jackie, It's good to know that your doc also told you that just waiting would work. I'm not following up with the same doctor that did the surgery, and I've never discussed complications with this one. At least now I know that there are at least two doctors out there that take a wait and see approach. Janet, you are such a supporter--always seing the silver lining and right there with the hugs. I'm so blessed to have you for a friend. Ruby, if you don't start feeling better soon, please see your doctor. I'm glad the mashed potatoes tasted good. I hope you had a good evening and that you've turned the corner on this. Warning, TMI coming up: If I needed a colonoscoopy, today would be a great time to do it. Ever since I got home yesterday afternoon my body has been cleaning itself out like the worst case of stomach flu (without vomiting) you can imagine. I'm actually afraid to go to work today, except that I'm giving tests in both classes that I have today, so I can make a quick exit if I need to. If I had to lecture, well, that'd be a problem! What drama! You guys are showing me how families are supposed to work. I love you. Because of you, I know this isn't the end of the line for me! You're in this with me. Thank you.
