Do You Have A Name For The Process?



Recommended Posts

Many of us have names for our bands/ports (my band is GingerSnaps) because that beeeetch would quickly snap me into shape if I try to deviate. LoL.

I'm wondering if anyone has a name for the process of getting a fill? (If not, it's time you get one)

I call mine: "getting baptized"

"Tomorrow I'm leaving early. I'm getting baptized"

"I'm soooo glad I got baptized last week, I've already lost three pounds!"

GO!

I've thought about naming my band but no name ever really popped for me. Now I do have names for other parts of my body :P :o :rolleyes:

Hahaha! I'm too new to the game, and I have a love/hate relationship with my band...it's a touchy lil bastard!

I'm 2 months out. As a problem child from the word "Jump," (because my body swells more than most); I have been dubbed "a weenie" by my NP who does my fills at my surgeons office (all-in-fun of course! :lol: )

After my surgery, I couldn't keep liquids down from the swelling and was hospitalized for dehydration. I had my first fill of 4.5cc six weeks out...rrr...uhhh...wait! I didn't even make it out of the office, as the first dixie cup of Water didn't stay down. So, 1.5cc backed out; I went home and was good to go.

My second fill was 2 weeks later...adding back 1.5cc while being told by my NP that "We may have to sneak up on it." She wanted me to come back the next week for a possible small fill. Needless to say, I had to cancel that appt. for this Tuesday as I am just starting to be OK with solid foods, while paying extra special attention to eating small bites; chewing really well, and waiting 1 minute between bites. I feel that I may already be knocking on the green zone door.

The love part comes in because it IS doing it's job! I am steadily losing inches and pounds.

I will be thinking of a good name in good time! :P

      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.
