Recommended Posts

AAAWWW, thanks guys. Yup heading into those 40's now!! But never felt better!! I was kinda hoping to just let it slip by, but when I logged on Sunday morning, there it was beside my name......41!!!!!

My family helped me clean up the yard getting ready for fall/winter then we went to DQ for ice cream. I'm not a huge ice cream person, but I LOVE DQ. I had a LARGE choc dip cone. Ate the whole damn thing...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME....LOL:hungry: .

I have a question for you guys.....

Every now and then I get this funny feeling. It's like a mild burning feeling running down. Kinda from the back of my throat to around where I think my band is. Its not in my throat or my stomach. I am not experienced with the feeling. Would it be heartburn? or refulx? or something. What do you guys think? It is not really painful, just a very mild burning sensation.

Thanks

Happy Birthday Cloe! :rolleyes: :humble: :music:

The burning feeling you are having could be acid reflux. Did you try taking an antacid? If it helps, it might help you determine what it could be.

Hey Cloe. I think I remember you saying you've never had heartburn, right? Cause that's what it sounds like. Start taking Tums!

It does sound like heartburn Cloe, try taking Tums when you have it and see if it helps, then you would know for sure.

Thank you for the replies. So last night I took a tums, and yes that seemed to make it subside. So then my next question is...If I never had heartburn before, then how come I have it now. Is my band making me more sensitive? What exactly cause heartburn, should I be watching what I eat?

And thank you again for all the Birthday Wishes!!:(

I'm sure you'd disagree... but most would say you're probably too tight. chocolate, spicy foods, minty things.. can give me heartburn. Not that I don't eat them, but I remember "Oh yeah... that sometimes gives me heartburn when I eat it" afterwards.

I think you should email Dr. Cobourn. I'd say email Marie, but... :(

Just ask him what he thinks of it. You definitely don't want more of a fill, I don't think, if this is happening as is. And you don't want to not tell them that it's happening, cause it *could* cause problems.

Do a search on here for 'heartburn', and I'm sure there'll be many threads telling why it's so bad. (for us)

Hey Cloe,

I'm doing something that you had said you did... with the colourful, shaped Post-It notes...when you were doing Opti-fast. I thought it was such a good idea, I went out and got some, and now on my bedroom wall, I have 29 pink flowers, to mark down the 29lbs I would like to lose before Xmas! (and with each pound, I'm going to take down one (or even a half of one))

Thanks for the idea!

LOL....I have a vision of you plucking a petal of each flower every .0001 pounds.:girl_hug:

BTW, thanks for the info, I started researching heartburn and got some answers. I will cut out a few things and call Dr. C and hopefully get a handle on it. It's only happened a few times and it's definately not real bad, but I don't want it to become a problem either. So, thanks!!

I did actually rip off 0.6 of a flower today! I don't want to round up or down! LOL

Yeah, keep on top of that heartburn. I'm not one to be chastising you or anything, so I hope you don't think I was! I've been getting heartburn now and then for the last couple weeks too. :girl_hug:

Btw, did you get my PM?!

      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.
