Hey Becca, just north of me! Your son moved out then back in? Mom and aunt live in the neighborhood? Dad in law down by me, how's his heart? You had a fall (bike wreck) that damaged your throat and you didn't need fills, phathom restriction?

I'm thinking all day about you and gross Darcey, and the old times hope I'm not bring back odd stuff...

You're too funny Vera. :mad: That's close. My DH's mom and sis live near you. My dad was just down there (with us) long enought to have a heart bypass. I forgot about Gross Darcy. :car:

I eventually found out that my bike wreck did not damage my throat...just swollen around it for a while. My esophagus problem is dysmotility, the muscles don't squeeze things through efficiently. It is fine without a fill, and I've been unfilled for six months. I'm going to try a fill again next month. I hope I can tolerate it because I have gained a few pounds. I have always had some restriction with the band alone -- lucky for me.

How are you doing?

Thanks for asking about my mom. Things are a little slow for her, she doesn't eat the right things, OLD habits are really hard to break when you're old too. Then again, it's really slow for me too.

How's your embr. doing? Did you ever get to be the master of your machine?

More Hugs to you both.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Yep Pat... I became the master of that machine and while I was working at the dealership I got a really fancy machine at cost so the original one is up for bid on eBay. I'm a nervous wreck selling something that expensive on there and have nearly cancelled the listing a hundred times!

I know what you mean about slow... unfortunately... I am packing it on rather quickly... it seems like going uphill should be slower! *sigh* On a positive note... at least I have not gained it ALL back yet. Help.

A HUGE welcome back Becky!

Okay, okay Crystal (Vines), I'm here.

Darcy, you can call off the search for me, but we need to work on Teresa. The last time I heard from heard, she wanted to meet for coffee and I couldn't go! Darn!

I know I've been away because I lost my band last summer and I've gain back pretty much all my weight :welldone2:

BUT, I've scheduled a rebanding on April 7th with Dr. Ortiz in MX and I've met a doctor here in Oregon that is willing to do my aftercare and he thinks Dr. Ortiz is a really good guy.

WHOOWHEE! Celebration for reunions around here!

Hello Alexandra and Trish and Darcey and NJChick! Good to see ya'all again.

April 7th isn't too far away. I'm so glad you are going to have it replaced, Darcey.

Alexandra -- you are still holding down the fort. What a woman! My band is doing fine, just haven't had a fill for six months. Going in for one next month and will try again. The dysmotility really acts up when I have any fill, but I really need some help with the ol' appetite. :hungry: Even without the fill, I have been staying in a reasonable range, so I'm thankful for that. How's it going for you? Your picture looks skinnnnnny! And I mean that in a good way. :biggrin1:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
