How's everybody doing? It's been quiet around here and I wanted to check in and see if my bandbuddies are doing well...please post and let us know! I think I am FINALLY learning how to eat better...I have been having real problems with pbing...usually only mucous (I know, TMI, but part of the learning curve), and bad....I just figured out the signal to stop eating before the next bite is too much...and, it's funny, I will feel like I am eating like a pig (because it takes so long!), but even at 4 or so oz. of fish, there is a last bite! How is everyone's fill going? I am sorry,Rosey, that you had a hard time. I think my second fill was a snap compared to the first....I think they do get better! Lafs...wish I needed only a couple of spoonfuls! Lucky girl! WELCOME faa! Munchkin...glad you weighed first! If I could strip down in the office for my weigh in, I would just to shave off a few (yeah, I know, what a lovely thought! ALSO, IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HEAR MORE STORIES ABOUT WHAT LED YOU TO THE BAND! Drews, how have you been? Shelbi...? all our other bandsters? -
This is very interesting. I have 10cc in my band which is only suppose to hold 11 and I can also eat anything and have never pb'b or slimed. I have been trying to talk the Dr into giving me a fill under floro to see if there is a problem. I get the feeling that he thinks Im crazy because Im losing the weight good but I have tried to tell him that Im losing because Im doing what Im suppose to and not because my band is keeping me from eating things or amounts that I shouldnt. Dont get me wrong the band does help me control the amount that it takes for me to be satisfied, but I want it to really let me know that its there. Just the other day I was eating a tuna kit for lunch and was thinking that if maybe I didnt use the mayo packet that it would stay in my pouch longer or at least be a little more of a challenge to eat, especially the crackers. Im going to search the net to see if I can find anything on excessive saliva. This may be tmi but now that I think about it, my kids always laugh at me when I talk because they always say that I spit when I talk. This is something to look into.

hey guys i was done on the 26th as well. for me it has been a rough 5 days. My surgeon called me yesterday to see how i was doing, well needless to say, i broke down and balled like a baby....(so embarrasing) I told him that i have had a low grade fever since monday, headaches, weak, "accidental diarrhea", (not cool, now i am housebound), and very very nauseated. He told me i am feeling most of this as i had a reaction to the anesthetic. Which i told them i would, they had to pump me up with meds when i was coming to. The doc took me off the antibiotics, told me to get atleast 1.4 ltrs of liquids in, and take phenegren suppositories 2xs day for 3-4 days to help stop the nausea. This should help me get my liquids in. I found it hard to even put Water to my mouth. He also said that the diarrhea is normal as i am only taking in liquids. I wish someone would have told me this before, as i had to throw away a new pair of jammies:faint: Sorry if tmi....but i dont recall reading this before my surgery. My poor husband is frustrated. He told me today that if i dont start feeling better soon he wants them to take this thing outta me.....poor guy, he hates to see me so weak and lethargic. I told him that things will change soon once i can get onto full liquids....lord that cant come soon enough huh guys? Anyhow, enough of the rambling.....stay intouch okay.....we can help each other thru this new adventure. Hugs, Debbie

biggest insult ever-sex related-from dh
anonemouse replied to bandster_1007's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm gonna have to agree with what just about everyone else has said. Your hubby was being more than a little bit of an ass. Seems to me like he's trying to drive you away, maybe because he doesn't have the balls to end the relationship himself. No offense meant, but it was clearly warned in the title that the thread was sex related. If you couldn't handle the very real possibility of some details that you think are TMI, you shouldn't have come in. -
Congrats cazulay! You're doing an amazing job! :biggrin1: Welcome Tammy! Good luck with your 2nd fill! I had a weird PB episode earlier this evening (I know, TMI) ... ya'll might (or might not) recall I had to go for an unfill last week because fill number 3 was wayy too tight and I was PB'ing just about everything. Well, since my unfill I've had no problems except with the pain of the "first bite syndrome" but no PB's. So earlier I was eating dinner, there was no first bite syndrome pain-in-the-chest and all was going down good and then all the sudden with no warning I PB'd ... I'm wondering if it was the corn I ate. Has anyone had a problem with corn? Figured my band might not like the little corn skins ... who knows! Back to liquids for the next day or so and no more corn for me ...

What happens if you get the flu?
With His help posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not getting banded until January. But, I just had a stomach virus which brought up the question what if I had already been banded? There was alot of vommiting involved (sorry for TMI) and it really scared me to think about what happens with the band in place. Would it dislodge the band? Cause choking? Has anyone had experience with this? Honestly, I can't remember the last time I was sick like this, so I don't expect it to be a frequent issue, just curious and trying to answer all the questions pre-surgery. Thanks, Stephanie -

Just a quick "hi" to everyone and a shout out to my fellow Tarheel! Welcome to all the new folks! Looks like December is going to be busy for Dr. K and staff. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I did an about face in my choices and ate sweet and/or soft processed carbs instead of healthy proteins/veggies/fruit. I was consumed my the fear was having a PB in front of the extended family and then having to explain, so I didn't even try any turkey or ham. Consequently, I had an upset stomach (TMI -- sorry) all day yesterday from the drastic diet change.:sick :bolt:I am back on track today, but avoiding those scales for a day or two! Happy weekend eveyone -- we're starting to decorate today! -
I wasnt always over weight, when I was younger I was actually really athletic. I think gaining all the weight I did was more of a form of protection for me because of things I experienced in my life. My mother used heroin when I was younger and she was always so out of it she didnt notice the things that were going on around her. So her boyfriend molested me and my sister for about 7 years before they broke up. Then in high school I was almost raped in a taco bell bathroom by a guy I knew from school. I kicked him in the nuts and ran for it after he ripped my clothing. But it was all tramatic for me and I think I gained weight because I didnt want to be attractive to men. I have had alot of theropy so this is why i can come to these conclusions. I also have alot of sex issues (I dont like it). Food became my love, support, and protection anyway I hope thats not TMI.

Oh and in the interest of TMI, I HATE the slapping sound of by flaccid stomach against the top of my thighs. It's horrifying.

Oh...I would love to...TMI ALERT!!! The twins ruined my bladder, so, until my surgery (perhaps in January), I cannot jump rope comfortably...but it is one of the things I am really looking forward to! That and trampolining Rain

Well I wish whoever I had to thank was in RnR. :heh: I had a spider bite once and sat in the ER throbbing in pain and my leg swelling by the minute...which turned into approximately 300 minutes to be exact...and I am sure the ER doc would not have dug into my leg nearly as far as he had to if I did not have to wait. (I know TMI). And to make matters worse they sent me the "tell us all about your visit" survey. It was none to nice. :help:

(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!

Ya'll been busy - beer, ball, and bald heads. Baldies are hot, btw. Exercise... I've been a sloth this week. I walked Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday... but have totally flaked out otherwise. Last night I went to see the movie American Gangster (Denzel Washington is effing hot!) and ate an entire bag of $4 reeses peices... 200 calories per 'servivng' ...6 'servings' per bag. YIKES!!!!!!! That is 1200 cals! Thats more than I've been eating in an entire day!!!!!!!!!! So there went my dinner... Ugh. 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. Oh my... work work work. I'm at work now and will probably get banned from internet access if I spend much more time on this website. Darn patients!!

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.

Hi -- I had a fill last tuesday (11/6). I wasn't have any trouble. I was feeling a really good amount of restriction but nothing troublesome. Probably a little TMI but I started my period 2 days ago and ever since then I am having trouble swallowing my pills. They are tiny tiny pills. I have never had trouble before. At first I thought I drank too much Water with them. Tonight I tried just a sip and i am still having trouble. It is a strange burning in my throat. I get a little slimy nothing major and my stomach knots up and I get waves of pressure in my throat. Does anyone else get this? What helps? What am I doing wrong??

patticNJ replied to dan.sm's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok so this is a GREAT topic. I'm on the banding schedule for February. should have been done last year, but 2 beautiful girls had something to say about that. Anyway, a year ago this Sunday I went through a pretty traumatic C-Section and gave birth to twins at 31 weeks. They pretty much ripped me open (sorry TMI), I'm assuming the pain couldn't be much worse than that, and after a few days of percs I was fine. Now the protien drinks, do they sell and unflavored one, like the Benefiber stuff that you can put in anything. I really cannot tollerate those drinks, they make me puke. I tried them all. Thanks for all of the great info and looking for to more great advice. Patti in NJ. -
Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters

27 degrees here right now and it stormed like the dickens here last night. We're surrounded by snow on the mountains but just rain here in the valley. It's beautiful. Yesterday I ate off of the vegetable tray for dinner. I must have had about a good cup size of carrots and dip. Got back to the motel and was regretting my decision, so I ate 2 small cups of WW lemon yogurt and went to bed. TMI, cleared my system out this morning and am feeling better. Not so bloated. Thanks for the reminder about "Cut the Crap Day". I need to do exactly that. SIL is fixing vegetable Soup today so we are going over there and visiting. Everyone have a great day. :clap2: -

Hi everyone, This morning I fill horrible... I mean horrible. I can't keep anything down when I tried to drink my protein shake it HURT SO BAD and then it came right back up. (sorry TMI) Now I have nothing in me but I still fill awful. I'm wondering if this could be a fill that is to tight (again - second go round for me) or could I have a bug or something?? I'm going to call my Dr but they do not open for another 1 1/2 hours

Anyways, I know this isnt really relevant to anything on here, but I just have to get this out! When I first became pregnant I had a low sex-drive, I didnt really even want to consider doing the deed...But now its been like 2 months or so since the last time, and for the past week I have felt like a nymphomaniac!!! All I want is to do "it" lol!!! Its the strangest urge that I cant get rid of, I cant even sleep well at night!!! Its almost all I think about for some reason! Its so weird I went from nothing to everything in like one day!!! I guess part of it is coming from the fact, well the baby had to be made somehow lol! (monogamous relationship btw)...But even with him my drive wasnt very high....However its like its hitting me alllllllllll at once. I have offers lol But I wont act upon them because I dont need that added stress in my life right now...lol I dont even want a real relationship right now, I dont really want any kind of relationship with a guy other than just friends! But OMG! I cant fix this problem.... Thanks to you guys that read through that without going "EW!" And thanks for reading my off-topic post... -

Hello vi's! Its 10p saturday night and I'm just now checking in...... after my morning check in yesterday my mom called me in tears because her foot was so bad she couldn't go to work (long story with feet problems) short story is that I ended up leaving work and running her from one doctor to another and by the time it was all said and done it was too late to go back to work.... Then it was pick up the boys.. today was a day of blissfull be at home ness......... but we ended up staining/waterproofing the deck and then cooking out on the grill.......... I am also not happy because I was up 213 this morning although my finger were really swollen from water retention... but I've been eating like crap and more of everything too... guess a Novemember fill in in my future. I know I need to get my head back in the carb watching game.. but I had almost an ENTIRE carton of Milk Nog today..... (oh teasing myself that it has 5g protein per serving) but I haven't even looked at the calories because the carb count is 37! For dinner I ate an entire burger (no bread) and some dorito's with ranch dip...... I've been eating halloween candy too...... I don't know what the hell is wrong with me... usually I don't start sabotaging myself until I GET UNDER 200lbs! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr sorry for the rant, but I'm just pissed at myself right now. I need a new fridge! so Pam I am freaking IN LUST with your new one! Jennifur: I don't know what to say..... yeah most guys want one thing..... but then you meet one who isn't even that interested and you start wondering what the hell is wrong that they don't... (remember I went many many many months almost a year with out any) and this man loves me.... it has all changed since getting engaged and now married...(go figure) but he has a real hang up with any chance of getting pregnant so we still don't have REAL sex very often........ sorry TMI, but its that kind of night... god I hope someone doesn't google me and reads this......... oh what the hell! Kat: I'm thinking about you.. bunches. Judy: HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!! OK.. gnight! -

Hiya Violets~ Kat~ When are you leaving? I don't know if I remember reading that. Have fun. Too bad you couldn't see Terry and Tracy and Haydee while your there. The fridge is black. The stainless steel is too hard to keep clean. We were looking for a satina finish, but couldn't find it in the french doors. I am so excited about the freezer on the bottom (drawer) and the 2 door top! Finally I can see all the top, instead of having a rotting onion in the bottom drawer that I never see. Terry~ Deep breaths. Do something special w/ you fam later this weekend. Sending your ds all the violet purple power for his SAT's. I had a combined 1290...not great, but hey, I did ok;). I went to happy hour yesterday! I had my 1 shot of Patron tequilla and then water. Had fun, it was great to "unwind". We all had so much fun. I don't usually go to those things because Susanne is just coming into town or I am going there. Sometimes we go together. Including myself, there were 3 teachers in tears yesterday...we needed a drinky-poo:beer:! I am pissed about this and need some advice. I am suffering w/ what I think is a sinus infection. Remember, at the beginning of the month I was sick. Went and got antibiotics and was better in a week (what a shitty week that was, I hate being sick). Anyway, Tuesday morn I woke up w/ some of the same symptoms. As the week has progressed it has become a bit worse. I had a flu shot on Oct 18 (hey, I work w/ kids...I HAVE to get one). So this time my "sickness" has not become the body aches etc...just in my head. My nose, ears and you should hear this sexy voice I am sporting (sound like a 70 yr old man). Anyway...my question to the violets...what should I do? Primary doc? My allergist? Over the counter? I've never had this and never ever had a reoccuring thingy. Do I need antibiotics? I know this is TMI, but yes, it is yellowish. Help! Well, I gotta go clean the fridge quick! They should be here in an hourish. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
