lkgrubb 0 Posted March 9, 2008 Susan, Best of Luck! You will be so glad you started this journey. I have had a steady loss since banding on 1/31/08 and after the intitial slump after banding, i.e. gas, some discomfort and a little depression. I am back to feeling like a very real person with a very real purpose: ME! I had some difficulties taking pills immediately after banding but now there is no problem at all. I also find that gradually my feet have stopped hurting so much, my breathing has become less stressed, I am definitely not hungry and do not crave foods. My only "problem" is getting in the 64 ounces of Water. It has been so worth it. You will do great and I will keep you in my prayer the day of surgery and after. I live in Az and love the sun shine and wonderful weather. I am in the mountains so we do have 4 seasons just less bad weather then where I moved from on the east coast. :smile2: Karen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfeiner 2 Posted March 10, 2008 Karen aka lkgrubb, You did such a good job on our list of geriatric members but I think it needs up dating . We seem to be picking up more members all the time. Could you update it again. It would be nice if we had the state we are from there too. Oh and bra size (just kidding) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have finally gotten OK to do some rehab and excercise so I am trying to get it set up today. But middle of the nights are great to work on that. I will see if I can get States / cities as well, but then maybe people can update us on those. Private messages would work for all who want to share: State/City or be on the List!

SusieQ1964 0 Posted March 10, 2008 Hi Karen, Thank you for the encouragement, I see your Tracker and you are doing very well! I will keep you and the others in my prayers. I appreciated the information about the pills, I take several a day. I have been a little nervous today, Surgery is tomorrow at 11:30A.M. I am the last of the day. I have been on a liquid diet for 3 weeks so I am looking forward to some broth.< /span> God Bless, Susan How do you do that Tracking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfeiner 2 Posted March 10, 2008 Susan, I have trouble with my pills in the morning when I'm tight. What I just started is to take all my pills that I only take once a day, in the late aft when I can swallow the easiest. Now I have only 1 big one to take in the AM. The little ones go down OK. That seems to be working out well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfeiner 2 Posted March 11, 2008 Thankyou so much Karen. I didn't know how to add more info so I copied and pasted the whole thing. Maybe others can do that too unless there is a better way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
