October 2006 Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

On a lighter note, I am down 88lbs and am now able to walk into a regular dept. store and buy a size 14 jeans...wooohooo. The people in the dressing room must have thought I was crazy when I went to try them on and then screamed when the first pair fit....lol

I just had mine earlier this month and I'm curious how people who have had it a couple years are doing. How much lost, how fast, did any of it come back?

Happy Bandiversary to everyone in October.

How come we can't welcome all October Bandsters? It shouldn't matter what year. We are in this all together. We all have the same problems and goals. We can be roll models for those coming after us.

Everyone have a great day and make good choices.

Well I am sitting in the same waiting room that my mom sat in 2 years ago waiting on me to come out of surgery, but this time, I am waiting on her. Yes thats right, She is joining us on our band adventures!! I am so excited for her. She is in recovery room as we speak. Can't wait to see her. :)

Mom came thru surgery just fine. She had a hernia repair also. She says the liquid diet is killing her.....lol....i remember those days....glad they are over.

I went to have a barium swallow done today and it shows that I have reflux....big surprise, i could have told them that. I am going to be scheduled for a endoscopy to see if I too have a hernia. Wouldn't surprise me with all the throwing up i did when I was prego. I am waking up almost every night with reflux...it sucks. I am probably going to go get a total unfill within the next couple of weeks to see how that helps and to have the test done.

:lol:

That sucks about the reflux. Hope there isn't a hernia. Guessing you don't want another surgery.

Funny about you Mom. I also remember those days. Wouldn't wish that on anyone. It was hard but am so glad it is over for me also.

My problem right now is fighting the band. I just seem to want to push it to the limilt. My band says no and my head says yes. I hate this crap going on in my head right now. Some kind of funk going on.

Have a great day.

they will get more support from the 2008 board... MUCH more active. how many posts has this thread received in the past month? how many posts has the 2008 thread(s) received?

im actually quite disappointed in the Oct 2006 bandsters for not posting. but that's a whole different issue...

Hey, I'm still here. I'm trying to make an effort to get everyone back.....lol

Good News: No more reflux

Bad News: He took out 4ccs....lol

He said leave it out for a couple of weeks to let things heal or settle down, and then we would start slow with the fills.

I have been trying to control my eating. Damn I forgot how hard it was...lol. Oh well, trying to eat as much salad as possible, cause i don't want to gain any weight back. I just bought new clothes size 12..woohoo....lmao.

:laugh:

I got me a pair of hooker boots.....lol...you know the knee high black boots that i am going to wear with my new dress. First time ever I have had boots that would fit my calves...haha. Anyone ever been to NY or have suggestions of where to visit.

Hi everyone. I haven't posted in probably a year. I have been losing and gaining the same 7#in the past year.I have Lost a total of 70# since my band. I am still very happy with my decision to have the band. On another note, how does everyone feel about a New Years challenge? Say from Jan 1st to Feb 14th. We have a few days to come up with one. I was thinking of 1. walk 4 hrs. a wk, 2. work out 30 min. a day to exercise video, 3. or anything else that you can come up with. Maybe this is what we need to get us kick started. Like i said i'm very happy with how things are but I would be even happier if i would complete the journey that i started over two years ago. Hope to here from you soon.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
