It was nice meeting you at the OCC. You looked ravashing darling & after surgery too! I can't wait to hear how everything is going with you. Are back home yet? My fill went okay. I got 3cc fill in 11cc band.

Hi Angie, despite my fill yesterday and having a head cold from the barium I suspect

that I do not have enough restiction. How many days should I give it to kick in?

Hi Angie, have you ever heard of such a thing: Foods To Avoid

After you have transitioned to solid foods, you should try to avoid certain foods. Such foods include, but are not limited to:

Dried fruits

Pineapple

Rhubarb

Corn (especially popcorn)

Grapes

Nuts and seeds (walnuts, whole peanuts, almonds)

I really like almonds and sometimes they a...

I PMed you. Your boyfriend is right the train is so much easier then driving.

Angie, can you post a detailed explination on "Soft Stops"? You are the only one that I have heard use this term and I think it would be helpful for those of us who have not had a fill yet.

It is nice on the train. I took the train down for my surgery too. The trip is only $58 round trip and they have like 8 trains per day from downtown to San Diego and back. The train ride is nice and relaxing. 3 Hour trip. OCC said that I am like the only person who takes the train (LOL) but it beats sitting in traffic, gas and wear and tear.

See you on the 17th when I am in for my fill. Also traveling from Los Angeles. I travel via train (Union Station to San Diego). I live in West LA (Culver City border).

OMG!! You are a mind reader too?!?! I was sitting here counting down the hours

You are the Super Star (now I got that disco song stuck in my head but it matches you) of this forum! I get emails when someone has posted to my wall (problem is I sometimes forget to check the email account

I am doing okay. I noticed that when I started back on solids that the weight loss slowed way, way down for me. I have managed to loose a half pound in 10 days (what's up with that?!?!) At least i am still loosing and not gaining

Thanks for the invite but the reason I did not want to impose is b/c we will be two ships passing in the night. I am scheduled for 12/17 at 3 pm. Train leaves from downtown LA at 11 AM on 12/17. I arrive in San Diego at 2 PM and then my appt is scheduled for 3 PM. Back to LA at 8 PM on 12/17

Did you get the messages?

Congrats on your banding on Wednesday! Can't wait for updates!

That was the coldest temps I ever experienced. I figured out very quickly that alcohol really does warm up the body in cold weather. Never tried negative temps, yah...body would go into shock and then I would look like a walking dead crack addict.

I think my body would stop functioning. I was in Minnesota last October and the night time low was like 22 and it was embarassing because my nose starting running and I was like what the hell and my body started shaking uncontrolably. People were staring at me like I was a crack addict! That was the coldest thing I ever experienced. Daytime...40 minutes to talk myself into going outside, 40...

Are you going to be around the OCC on the 17th? I am going in for my first fill that Thursday (12/17) and thought we could get together.

How are you doing Margaret? I am going to the OCC for my first fill on 12/17 (next week). Taking the train from Union Station to San Diego and back. $58.00 round trip. Guess I can't complain. Lost 8.1 pounds since 11/13. Conservative for liquids huh?

Hi Angie,

I just wanted to say congrats on your recent fill. I was wondering how you are feeling? It is your 5th so I am very curious if you think this was the one to do it? You spent so much money so far on fills this year! I hope it does not cost me nearly as much but you never know! I live in Los Angeles and I am taking the train to the OCC next Thursday for my first fill ...
