Recommended Posts

hi girls

found other women having bandster babies on here and others who have done it and it wasnt a disaster with their weight ..yeah my weight shifting quickly this past month or so after a long go slow ,i think when i was able to get more in my body realised it wasnt starving...lol

but scared that they will unfill me and gain quickly :phanvan .

bman...have a wonderful time ..we will miss you :kiss

jillrn...if you been excercising you probably just gained muscle, too early to say if unfill good or bad it will take at least week for your body to adjust..hang in there it might start dropping down again soon (fingers crossed for you )

i will let you know what clinic advises (though i want to wait awhile to share news)i will be in here to chat with all you lovely steadies dispite fact my steady loss probably soon to be go slowthen into reverse..;)

i was down again today

I am scheduled for a fill on Wednesday. Last night I went to Outback with mom. I had a Caesar salad, baked potato, and tilapia. I ate the whole thing!

No bread! I have not reached the point where I feel full and hunger returns quickly. I am in search of the so called "sweet spot".

Hello my ladies,

Well I had a nice trip to the ER yesterday. We thought it was my appendix, but turned out not to be. ;)

I have several cysts on my ovaries ready to burst. SO I am in pure hell. They sent me home with Vicadin but it is not helping that much. It hurts so bad. I was told this is probly the beginning of my problems with this. I am in hell, and in pain like nothing ever before.

I probly won't be on again soon, I am going to lay down and try to sleep it off.

I had a CT Scan last night, with a hot guy. Forgot to tell him about the band, he ran out in the middle fo the procudure and asked "What is on your stomach? Are you ok?" lol...oooooppps forgot to tell him. After I told him what it was and how much I had lost he said "You look amazing, I never would have guessed." that made me smile amoungst the pain.

Thanks Nikki. I am feeling a bit better this morning. I found my leftover Loratab and that is working better for me. It feels like my insides are being ripped out.

For now I am waiting for them to burst. Dr said it will happen and be very painful for another 12-24 hrs after and then I should be ok until next month! :D They did call my GYN while I was there, and I am seeing him in the afternoon tommorow. I felt like whatever is going on is more than they can or want to deal with in the ER there. SO now I have to shave because my GYN is too hot to handle. I like to have more time to prep to see him mentally,lol. He is unbelievable gorgeous. If he wasn't so damn good as a Dr I would change. It is hard to think around him... lol..

Kubel...how'd the fill go?

Boo...so sorry to hear about the cysts! :-( I hope you feel better soon!!

BK...glad to hear you're doing well and not snacking! YAY!!

Sweethot....Hope your hubby is recovering well!

Claud....glad to hear you're still moving forward w/your move to Chicago! I'll definitely say a prayer for you that you get the job!!

My scale is moving again, slowly but surely!! Not sure what I'm doing differently (other than being completely depressed about this Guy which makes my stomach occasionally churn), but I'll take it!!

I go to CA w/this guy on CA, but I have a feeling it's not going to be the romantic getaway I'd hoped we'd have, but more of a friends only thing...:-( Oh well....it'll still be fun to get to the CA wineries.

Hope you all have a great week!

Hi Everyone!

poking my head in and hoping I don't get pushed back out. I have been a terrible online friend and disappeared off the site for the past few months. I want to blame that nursing school has not brought out the best of me, but that is only partly true. I think somewhere in my subconcious I am feeling like a slug because I have not been the model bander I once was. I have not been taking as much time to plan out my meals well and get in my exercise. The kids being home for the summer has reaked havoc in my gym schedule!

At any rate, I want to say hello and let you all know I have been thinking of you. I popped on last week for a minute and saw Nat shouting out to me ((Thanks Nat!))) I needed that and it still took me a week to sign on and say hello.

I think I am here for some help and support to get me on better track. I feel selfish to ask for it, because I dug a hole and crawled into it since about May. Any encouragement is totally appreciated!

KAY!!!!! Welcome back Girl!!! We Missed you!!!!!

Don't worry about not being a model bandster...None of us here are perfect!! I certainly haven't been a model bandster either...which Is why I'm trying to make a point of posting more often too.

Glad you're back and hope you'll post more!! Hang in there!

Kay--welcome back girl! We are all just glad to have you back! Don't worry that you aren't perfect, none of us are! :) Hope school is going well, I will be back to the books in a few weeks.

Claud--glad you had a great time.

Va--I am sorry it won't be what you were hoping for, but it is exciting he is introducing you to friends, it is a big step!

Nikki--again congrats. :(:):girl_hug: I think Brandi would agree it is a great name for a girl...rotfl....:)

I am off to the Dr. I have a 1 pm appointment. I am miserable. I hurt like hell. Got the legs shaved though. Can't see him with yucky legs. Wish me luck, I am hoping that I will have good news.

Good luck, girl! Did you shave the more important part along with those legs?

I'm sorry to hear it is ovarian cysts! At least they can yank an appendix out. Well, they can yank ovaries out, too...but it's not as simple of a recovery in the long run.

Take care, I'm up north, will you keep us informed, please?

Thinking of you...and the hot doctor...but not together, of course :)

LOL...yes that was taken care of as well. Mostly because I can not stand it "messy" down there! :P

They did an ultrasound and they have burst so I will be feeling better in a few days, until next month and it will switch sides.

Treatments--birth control (Out of the question when trying to get pregnant), pregnancy, and removal of ovaries (well isn't that pleasant?) SOOO--I will be dealing with these for awhile now. Ugh..

I hope that Nikki is contagious! I want to be next, lol.

I did a little bit of shopping afterwards and got some cute stuff dirt cheap. I got 2 outfits with skirts for 30.00 at Elder Bearman! VERY nice classy stuff just on clearance. And the skirts are both size 12's and they FIT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOO HOOOOO....I think I deserve that for all the sh*t my body is doing to me!

      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.
