Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum

[jmegirl 2]

I'm not sure what to put down. I weigh 198.6 which is still kind of unbelieveable! So I have 13.6 to lose to hit goal so I guess I might have been off on my goal to lose. So I guess put me down for -4.9 unless our weigh in starts next Monday.

I just got a fill on Friday and usually it take about 10-14 days to kick in. Not this time! It has kicked in. I have to watch my bites and chew. I haven't had to do that in a long long time. We'll see what this next couple of weeks has in store!

We are taking our weight today, and next Monday is our first official weigh-in.

Julie-Ann, how did it go with your friend? Weren't you going to tell her on your long trip to Denver????

Hi Julie.Ann,

The same thing happened to me. I went in for my 3rd fill and nothing for three weeks - then WOW! It's been four seeks since then, and I definitely feel the restriction. I just really need to quit the late night munchies, so I am really pleased to be in this challenge. I need some acocuntability!

I did take my friend and it was great! My 7 hour drive FLEW BY! I told her about it and she was very curious and I loved answering questions about it. I don't answer questions since I keep this to myself. I think I made the right decision to share it with another friend. I have one more that I will share with when the time is right. Thanks for asking.

Funny thing with this fill....it is my noon meal that seems to be tight. Morning and night is no problem generally. Strange.

I'm glad your fill is doing great things for you too!

Happy to hear you're doing well, Jamie.

Broccoli is EVIL! I used to like it pre-band, but now...no way. We should make a list of our now un-favorite foods. I'll add these: blueberries, eggs, bread, Pasta, steak...

Broccoli, zuchini (almost killed me last night) I do okay with everything else! But these are the worst!

Hey! Did you all meet at Red Robin?

Chili. The only 2 times I have vomited since getting my band has been from chili.

chicken breast. Can't do it. I've tried and tried and I can't get it down. Broccoli is tough, and so are apples unless I really pay attention and chew chew chew. Potatoes are a problem.

I ate one of those teeny filet mignons last night. It goes down with no problem at all. I can eat salad too . . . no problem. I really don't get it.

Now here is the list of evil things that I can eat with no problem. Ice cream (of course), chocolate, crackers, cheese, etc etc. Calorie laden, fat-full, tasty yummy stuff. Bad bad bad.

Have you noticed there are two different PB's? When I got stuck the other evening on zucchini, (this is really gross) I burped and a huge amount of thick mucous came up. I never had a pain, but a slight discomfort feeling. But I could have ignored it easily because it wasn't bad. After I burped and PB'd, I felt fine. Then about 5 mins later the same thing happened.

Then previously on Broccoli, I've gotten stuck and the pain for extremely bad. I have burped loudly and the broccoli came out with no excess mucous. With the zucchini, it never came up.

Sorry that is pretty gross, but I was wondering if these PB's are similar to others. I had no idea there were two different kinds.

I didn't get stuck until 11 months out, so I'm still learning these things.

Yep, I have both of those happen.

I just vomit up the food when it is hurting. I get a stabbing heartburn feeling in the middle of my chest. All I have to do is think about it, and up it comes. And then I feel so much better!

Now, this is different than having the flu type vomiting, because it isn't all bile-laden from being digested in my stomach. It just looks like chewed up food.

Yuck - are we disgusting girls or what??

LOL! Yes, 4 of us braved the snow to get to Red Robin: snowgator, Kayleigh's Mommy, magaines, and laptastic, at least I think I remember everybody's screen name correctly.

Want to plan a May Red Robin night? How about Tuesday May 5th?

[mem620 3]

Tuesday May 5 works for me. I live near Brighton, and chickened out about making the drive. I look forward to meeting fellow bandsters!

May 5 is CINCO DE MAYO!
