okay - first this definately isnt the easy way out - it has been the HARDEST thing I have ever done in my life! but well worth it. Unfortunately their are always people out there who do not follow the "if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all" rule. One of my "friends" actually said to me something along the lines of didnt I feel bad taking advantage of my personal health care for them helping with my surgery when I only had a few pounds to lose. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH but I think it is because she has been struggling to lose weight herself for her wedding and has gained weight. But - I just went clothes shopping today and bought 4 pairs of size 6 pants. Karma I tell you!

mine seems to like 140 Id like to go down a little more and did but then go back up again grrr

same here - I would be too busy all day to eat...then would eat supper. Once in awhile Id pig out - but rarely. Well ;- my doctor said the little bit that I am eating just got stored as fat. The band forces me to eat my small meals during the day - since I cant have one larger one later. Honestly though - it keeps me aware of what I am doing. I am 3 lbs away from goal.

sometimes my port gets in my way during those moments - I just move a bit and he gets the point as he knows not to lean on that area lol

good luck Sabrina!! I am still having the ups and downs! grrr. Let me know how this works for you! I have to say though that even before I had my first fill I had a hard time with fruits, veggis and bread. I hope this works for you!

bad news from me - I was banded in Dec 08 and I still feel it. How about the rest of u?

Sabrina....exactly what you are saying - is me! That is why I was saying I need an unfil. The way you are saying you can/cant eat - is exactly how I am. I am hoping to get an unfil soon! Keep me [posted on what you decide....but this only getting in 500-if Im lucky 800 calories a day is crapola!

OMG - That is freaking fantastic! You look awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldnt send you a PM back cuz it says your mailbox is full :S

yup like the others said call your doctor. Not sure who banded you but Dr.O and Dr.M wouldnt be putting you on pureed this quick and would want you to call asap if you were their patient. Good luck

I am desperate for an unfil and cant get down to TJ for about 3 weeks GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR stupid plane tickets costing too much!

thank you

anyone have an email for the lucerna??? I need to get a receipt from them thanks!

congratulations - I am so happy for you!

Im sorry you are having a hard time! :S hopefully it starts getting better for you! Hey - can I ask what signs were you having or was it just that you couldnt keep things down? Or what did they say to look for?

Sabrina - I have done it twice too. I struggle with getting in 800 calories a day and still have to do protien drinks in the morning. I have even been contemplating and unfil. Actually last night was my pig out night and it may not seem like a lot -but when you can normally only get a tsp or two of things down it sure is! I had half a sloppy joe - a freeze, two scoops (medium) of ice cream - um with that hard chocolate and sprinkles yup even had to throw that in, and a mudshake which is FULL of calories. I didnt weigh this morning! Im doing liquids for the next few days cuz Im all worried now and cant help it. I think even if I dont get an unfil I need a check up cuz I am so paranoid. We are human though sabrina!

sent...carla I sent to you again - I have it titled before and after....and beware nudity. K - not sending them out anymore sorry guys (unless uve been on here a long time and weve chatted lol - sorry just dont have time)

thanks guys pics sent to u others! Im almost done sending out lol, maybe another day or two thats it

sent and thanks for the ass compliment! I kinda wish I would have had a little more put in - but I told him I didnt want a HUGE butt cuz I was nervous!

okay I had to do something. I admit that when I took my after pictures I was really really upset. I didnt see a lot of difference and thought what the hell I thought I had so much done lol. Well - after getting the compliments I went back and looked and thank you to you guys that have seen and said your comments. I now see it more since I have had specific comments. You may not realize how much your comments mean to people - so thank you! I now can see that my @ss isnt as flat and blah, my sides are way better than I thought and now you can actually tell that I have a back bone lol. I think I was just doing a yuck thats me naked quick glance....so again - thank you!

okay sent I have to put these sent notes so I can keep track of who I sent it to lol

LMAO at the trim lol - I know...I laughed the whole time I did the black out thing! I did the sides on the wall where I have pics of my kids up too lol and thank you! Feel free to ask any questions! So - you got a little more than you wanted with the girls? I just got mine up to the D I had before. Everyone who knows tells me you cant tell I have a boob job which is what I wanted. So I am happy - they looked great in my swimsuit lol

That is sooooooooooo great Jude! Way to go! Dont worry about jinxing......I think you just met a huge milestone and you should be so proud of yourself!

k - I sent them off! I am okay. Just cant get over how much my sides still hurt. I just started being able to lye on my sides for about an hour at a time - phew cuz sleeping on my back for two months was making me crazy!
