Slipped Band



Recommended Posts

Already did the States & Mexico 2 years ago for 7 weeks. I have an uncle in Florida and his 2 kids live in Manhatton and Conneticut. He used to live in Conneticut but retired with his wife to Cape Coral. I also had an uncle in Mexico but he passed away so we went to visit my aunt and the kids. Had a great time but it burnt a hole in my pocket.

Maybe somewhere in between??

Is Tahiti in the middle? Ha, ha!

I think you need a list of where the people that are willing ( Have time etc) to meet and come up with a middle ground.

I'm in CT!

Anywhere in the northeastern, U.S. is easy for me. I live 1 hr north of N.Y.C. If we were truly planning to meet overseas, I probably could manage it with a lot of notice.

Thanks Donna. It wasn't a slip after all, it was a band placement error. I had it redone on 10 July and so far all is well. I've just finished my 2 weeks of liquids and now onto the mushies stage again. I believe all is good now and hoping that there are no other problems. At least the weight is coming off again! :thumbup:

Ok....Sades...you just live to dang far. However, I have always wanted to go to Australia. I want to see a kangaroo...and a baby kangaroo and of course Koala Bears. I know that I can go to a zoo but down under would be awesome. I also want to go to see Hillsong in Sydney. It is a large church over there that has an awesome music ministry. I am the worship leader at my church and I do a lot of Darlene Z's songs; she is the worship leader for Hillsong. Anyhoo! I digress. I really would love to go to Australia not sure how to pull it off but I can dream..

If we have a few nymphs from the NE, we could at least do a regional meeting unless we have some from the south etc, then we could meet in DC or someplace.

For the NE, I would vote for Boston or someplace where we could plan some sightseeing. We could go Shopping or do a duck tour.

Newport has a lot of great shopping and sightseeing too.

Any other ideas? Tahiti and Australia sound great and really expensive!

Ah Hillsong... I'm not into it but I know there are heaps of people joining every day. My friend's daughter was a member for a few years but she's moved on. I didn't realise they were Australian. Oh well, you live and learn! :lol:

I think you guys might have to meet without me and just send the video. I will have a holiday on my own and send you the video... almost like being there! :scared2:

Australia's not expensive for me... :thumbup: :biggrin2:

No, you're right it's not! I can't even guess how much an airline ticket to AU costs or one from AU to the states! Got to be a lot!

I think a late fall weekend somewhere would be nice!

I'm actually going to be in Rhode Island the last week of August renting a house with the lady we went to the Cape with. I'll only be 25 minutes from Newport. Getting there in the fall would be pretty easy too. If you all would like to plan a fall getaway, I'm up for it!

Sorry, Sades. I would love to meet you too!!

Anyway, going for a fill today. I was able to eat way too much in Cape Cod and did. Put on 3 pounds! It should come right off with a fill and hopefully propel me into Onederland. No way am I changing my ticker to show the weight gain! I hate getting fills. I'm sore for a week and don't feel normal for about a month. I think I'll just stay on liquids and mush until the end of the Summer Meltdown!

Hi Sade

How are you doing, I hope you are well.

Thanks Marie. I'm doing pretty well now, it's been 3 weeks already since the 2nd op. I'm on the mushies stage now and have lost some more weight which is great. How are you going with your restriction?

I understand Cindy. You guys have an opportunity to do it much sooner than if we planned something.

And of course, you will come visit me. Hope the fill went well and I am keeping my fingers crossed that you don't have to many issues. I haven't had a fill in almost 3 months and still get stuck daily. I don't know when it will loosen up but I couldn't eat more than 3 bites of breakfast..did alright for lunch and had trouble with dinner. Finally gave up and ate an ice cream sundae...I know it was bad for me but I was hungry and it went down smooth. I've gotta get rid of the ice cream from this house...dang it.

      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.
