  1. I just scheduled my fill with Dr Jay....I moved here to Dallas 6 months ago and have been at a stand-still cuz I need a fill and can't fly home to see Dr. Ortiz (I'm originally from S. California, 2 hours from OCC). The girl that made my appt was very nice!! AND...he has some Saturday appts!! Angela
  2. Hi all...I haven't been around much lately...been so busy. My husband and I decided to pick up and move to Dallas. His entire family is there so we will be able to live with his mom and dad for a while. I'm getting my first fill at OCC on Aug 9th but I was wondering if you all have any referrals for fill dr's in Dallas. I'd like to hve someone incase of an emergency! Thank you all!!
  3. Hi Cathy! I understand how hard it is!! I'm on liquids until next week and I almost didn't make it yesterday!!! I was so darn hungry!! I wanted something solid so bad but I was a good girl. Luckily I had taken soups and yogurts with me to work so I didn't have anything "bad" to eat!!! Hang in there...it will be worth it in the end!! Angela
  4. Good morning Cathy!! Have you tried Cream of Wheat?? It's so yummy with some sugar and butter...
  5. Yes Lisa...it smells so friggin good!! that's why I don't want to add to much milk and mess the whole thing up!! LOL OMG my mouth is watering!!
  6. Hi everyone I was banded on June 4th and I'm in the creamy soup stage! I'm making the tortilla soup that Dawnie suggested but I have a question!! LOL Each can of cream of chicken soup and cheddar cheese soup calls for a can of milk in addition to the coup...do I need to add that too or just the can of fat free mik!!?? I am a good cook really haha...but don't want to mess it up!! Thanks!!
  7. Funny that you posted about this because my mom and I were JUST talking about this tonight!! I was a great water drinker before being banded and now...not so good!! I'm a good burper now!! haha (sorry TMI) I used to gulp it down too and now it just seems like an extra task. I say just sip as much as you can!! That's what I try to do! I take a bottle of water with me from rom to room in the house so I always have it on hand. It's very hard though.
  8. See... all Dr's have different guidelines. If you look on-line...many websites recommend you have only "clear" liquids for 4 full weeks post-op. That is not what we were all told by Dr's Ortiz and Miranda!! Cedartown said he/she doubted that the potato bacon soup Julie ate was liquid...it probably wasn't clear liquid but it is creamy and it's allowed after day 7!! Atleast that's what my paperwork says... Lady Ruth, you made the decision to eat solids so soon on your own and that is your decision and nobody has the right to judge you for it. What you decided to do, someone else may not be comfortable with and that's what makes us all different!!
  9. Oh and BTW...Julie ate 1/2-3/4cup servings...I couldn't find in her post where she said she ate 2 "HUGE" bowls!!!
  10. I'm sorry but we're all tired of being fat but we don't just wake up from surgery and magically have a new way of eating!!! We will all, at some point or another, fall short of perfection!!! And it's up to us to live and learn!! Julie and I were banded on the same day so I'm sure she was starving and FINALLY had room to eat a decent meal!!! Maybe you didn't eat what she did on day 7 but that's you and you have no right to knock someone down for it. We all have our different challenges that put us in this situation in the first place. I'm sure we all struggle with something different everyday!! Rome wasn't built in a day, Sweetheart!!
  11. WOW...that was a little harsh...JMO!! Congrats on your weight loss..maybe we should all try to be perfect like you!! Julie, today is a new day. Try to focus and learn from your miskates...we're all human and are not perfect!!
  12. Oh that's a terrible thing to have to deal with!! I really hope you get better soon!! All the tomatoes have been taken off the shelves here in S. California...maybe you ate some bad tomoto?? Get well soon!!
  13. OMG Nachos Bell grande is my FAVORITE!!!!!!! LOL What I don't get is what keeps my pouch from stretching when I do start solids?? Why will it strech now and not then?? Oh and I forgot to tell you that yes, we're going to OCC for fills. We're only about 2 1/2-3 hrs drive so we have no prob going back there. Have you guys decided yet?
