    I Too have foster Children and sleep is almost always an issue for them. We added a fish tand and a water fountain to their rooms and it really has worked. These children have been through so much and is manifests in there sleep. Keep your head up and know you are doing a great thing! Find respite!!!

    Its probably Gas but I had the same pain with my Gallstones so just watch if its everytime you eat any fat and see if you still have the pain? For me if I burped and took a hot shower it got better. It really is probably gas but just wanted you to be aware that the gallbladder is under the right rib.

    Ok So after reading all this is nothing gets stuck for me. I can eat pizza, bread, tortillas ect, With a fill will this get better? I don't want to gain all that I have lost back (I hope I have a band LOL) did anyone else have no restriction before a fill?

    I can not Imagine what it is like for you but I do love your compassion (for those who hurt you so deaply). I was molested as a little girl and thats when I turned to food too. It was the only control I had. Is there any way that a nursing home will take them so that you do not relive it everyday? My best advice is think of your band as your best friend and find a new drug of choice (exersise, Bingo, Hobby) Try and keep your mind and hands busy. Sorry not alot of help but Know we are here for you.

    Mine is falling back in old habits again. Since being allowed to eat solids again I find Im eating out of hunger,Lg portions as I have no restriction, Drinking no water with meals is killing me, Ok so everything is hard but Im so happy to have the band and I hope with fill that I will have some restriction because I can eat bread, Pizza, Tortillas which my friends can not??? My desire to be heathly is out weighing my old habits but I do need to keep a watchful eye over myself.

    This is a new Journey for you and without a fill just be careful the next few weeks. Rely on God as he is always there. If you need someone to lean on we are always here. You will be in my prayers.

    Our Phone did work but at .99 cents a minute $.05 to receive text and $.50 to send one so we did not use it much. The phones at OCC were pretty much all we used and used our phone 2 times quickly. We called to see if we could make it an international plan while we were down there and they don't do that any more. Give them a call see if its any different for you???

    Congrats!!!! So excited for you. I will tell you I think we will save all that money back on food LOL. Went for my 20 yr aniversary on Wed night and I got a bowl of soup 2.95. This is the best decision I ever made and I think you will too!
