  1. Hello All! I had hiccups the first time the other night..........in the middle of the night!! I could not believe it. They lasted about 15 mins. Not had them since. But I also get the BIG BAD BURPS - they do feel good to release but hurt so bad coming up. At first I would "swallow" them back because they hurt so bad coming up, but now they don't hurt as bad (each day is a bit better). Thanks to everyone for all the cool information!
  2. Yep, it is the tomatoe thing. I'm in St. Louis, MO and no one is using them here either.
  3. OK, I'm new to all this............what is PBing??
  4. I remember many times saying I don't care what the scale says as long as I can wear a 10 or 8 or whatever...........I want to look and feel good and that is starting now...............man the future is so bright, ya gotta wear shades!!! B)
  5. Hello Everyone! I just have to share. I have these shorts that I bought for a trip to Jamaica last August and they fit me OK back then; we went on a cruise in January and I could not get them to stay snapped (they button on the inside and have two snaps on the outside) so I had to go around with them unsnapped the whole time. I put them on today and they snaps have not popped once!! When my husband got home from work I was so excited and told him first thing. He was having a tuna snack and asked me if I wanted some and I said "no way!!". I might want it and be starving but the feeling of these shorts not popping is too good. I might need to wear this shorts every day for the next 7 days until my banding!!!
  6. Lilly Girl: Don't get down on yourself, get back in the saddle. You can do it!!! Maybe you can do a shake for dinner?? And then get to bed early........ DWIT (do whatever it takes) to get to your goal. You are worth it. Take it one minute at a time. Hang in there. Hugs to you!!
  7. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! I look forward to meeting you hopefully on the 12th for my pre-ops!!
  8. I'm so excited - my big day is June 13!! Friday the 13th!! What better way to spend the day............hope to meet BATassbandita!
  9. I'm on my pre-op diet too; I've lost about 9 pounds in the last 7 days. I have a Slim Fast for breakfast, a nice big GREEN ONLY salad for lunch, a Slim Fast around 3 and then dinner of around 300 cals for dinner. I do get very hungry at night, so I've been going to bed EARLY . I do eat as much GREEN salad as I want, I don't like the calorie free dressings so I've found that I like to mix lemon and vinegar!! I also eat sugar free jello (I made some orange jello with a can of mandarin oranges and instead of cold water mixed it with diet Sierra Mist - WONDERFUL!!). I watched one of the surgeries on UTube and the reason the doctor wants us to lose 5% of our weight before surgery is because he has to go around the liver and there is LOTS of fat (and it looks like chicken fat!!) around the liver. If we lose the weight before the surgery that reduces the amount of fat around the liver and makes for an easier surgery. Hang in there - we are all in this together!! One week from today I'll be banded!!
  10. MamaMichelle.......... I finally got it. I had to go to another site to get it. I got a reply from the site you told us about and they said it must have something to do with the cookies on my computer. I'm not that great at computers but I can do some things. Anyway I found another site and I got a ticker now!! Or at least I should have..........this my first post with it. OK, I got my photo on here, my ticker on here..........now I just need my band!! Hugs to all of you!! >
  11. Hello all! I've not been banded yet but will be soon and am looking ahead to my first fill. I want to go back to Dr. Ortiz to make sure all is fine, but I'm considering looking for a fill center that is closer. Has anyone used any fill centers in St. Louis, Missouri area??
  12. Well, I think I got the picture thing figured out..........still having problems with the ticker. I sent them an e-mail as I think something is wrong with their site. Hopefully the next time you see me I'll have a ticker too!! Hugs to everyone!
  13. Michelle: Thanks for sharing the info, however I can't get past the part about the slider or whatever the second step is. I've been doing it yesterday and today and nothing. BLAH!! I must be computer challenged this weekend (and normally I'm not) because I can't figure out the picture thing. I have my picture in here but you have to click on my name to see it. I followed your instructions on that too (uploaded the picture to photo bucket) but didn't get far with that either. I think I'll try it all again on Monday!
  14. "This weight loss ruler can track your weight loss towards your goal. Display your progress in pounds or kilograms." This is what is at the top of the page when I select the ticker........maybe the site is down this weekend because it is not doing anything for me. I'll get there!!
  15. What is the about walking 10,000 steps? Is that after surgery? Either way, I would think a treadmill would do the trick.
