Shrinking Violets Part 4



Recommended Posts

Jane - I thought the same thing today. The months are flying by! Before I know it it will be May!

Okay, I weighed myself this morning and I'm at 247. That's my starting weight for July and I should be 5 down by August.

WHO DIED???

Haydee, I just sent you an email about the dates in May. I asked my principal and went to the Cal. Dept. of Ed. website and figured it out. I had to send it from my work email...it has my name in it.

Who died?

Just had a light and fit smoothie and it gurgled each time I sipped. And I'm starving but afraid to eat anything solid... I wonder what I did?

I only know Maden from Gypsy.. if you want to get into it, some other old lady famous from the 50's died the other day and some comedian (I had never heard of, but apparently is popular) also died 2 days ago.

So it's hard to decide what to consider in the rule of 3.

Haydee do you have the dates already?

Also, maybe you had a kink, airbubble, or just the Fluid sitting in the tube.. and from flying it finally moved up into the band and tightened it a little.

I think all the celebrities should run & hide!

Haydee... the PA told me that flying can "adjust" your band... + it sounds like Pam is having issues as well... I'd give it a day or so to see if it settles down... & enjoy the restriction in the meantime!!

no date yet. Won't finalize it until late July or August. If Pam can swing it it'll be May 15th or earlier. Maybe end of April even. End of May is hot hot hot here and we would all melt getting from one place to another and taking outdoor pictures, which I really want to do.

My trouble started as soon as I got off my flight on Monday so I bet it is some kind of bubble or something... I was already gonna be on liquids for a few days to shrink my pouch so I I'll take it as a blessing that I can't even eat solids right now, LOL...

Whatever the date is...I should be able to get there by Sat. We state test into late May, but I can always fly in Friday after school.

I am CONVINCED that flying messes w/ my band. I was not right in bama...ya'll witnessed the pb'ing of cottage cheese. I was not right, don't know how to xplain it. I feel better today, but am still glad to be getting a small unfill for the trip. My last trip this summer is going to Tahoe and we are driving through San Fran. I think it is the air pressure or something from flying.

Still waiting for ups. This is really what I wanted to do on my LAST day off!!! I called ups and they said the 10 - 2 was just a time estimate, that they can deliver up til 7:00.

Haydee that is so exciting for you to be scheduling a wedding. I think I was looking at pictures in that coffee house during the discussion. I got up to go the bathroom, and the gallery was there, and when I came back you guys were all talking about the wedding. Didn't mean to be rude!!

Did I mention that I am still waiting for ups?????????

I hate to hear you guys are having problems, I've never had problems with flying & the band, but I've *rarely* heard people mention it :redface:

Hope you all get back to better.. hell, maybe I need to just fly to get my band to work again..

DLing some songs on Itunes, forgot how much I liked MJ's music.

      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.
