Beautiful Picture!!  Glad you had a good time. 

For about 3 weeks or so...on and off... I feel a wierd feeling of something moving around like something crawling!  This would TOTALLY freak me out if it didnt happen to be the exact same area where where my port is (Yeah...too many Discovery Channel shows about things living inside you)

I only feel this 'moving' when I sit down...just so happens to be right above my spare tire so when I sit I guess it could kinda get lost??

I assume my port is loose?? I am having my band removed in 2 weeks...you think this is serious and I should call? No pain or anything, just a creepy, tickly feeling.

As if im not losing my mind enough....

Good luck Donna! Hope you have a wonderful speedy recovery!!

Ive had issues with my band too...I couldnt take the vomiting anymore (on any kind of food)  and drinking anthing colder than room temp water was like drinking glass chips...so I had an unfill and will be revising to RNY next month.

Oh yeah...and I couldnt take my dr telling me to try diet pills and that taking fluid out to stop the vomiting was defeating the purpose of the band!

For the people who are able to work their bands...you guys rock!  it just isnt for me.

Thanks alot Bette.

 He's so flippin hot...

ONE surgery is not right for everyone

 

Thanks to someone in the office Im now singing....

Ice cream and cake and cake, ice cream and cake, do the ice cream and cake...

Damned Baskin Robbins!

I need to scale back on the crappy carbs. Im feeling very Jabba the Hut right now! LOL

Ive been drinking lots of water today and have some good exercise setup for the weekend...its gonna be hot too.

Oh what fun...yard work, car washing and pool time. that should help!

Thats exactly it...Im eating that crap because I can.

Thanks guys, thats just what I needed. My craziness lasted a week....and it ends now.

An open band is not an open invitation to eat whatever you want. I tasted what I wanted, now I need to get back to business. I know that the voices in my head have been telling me..."you have been so tight that you couldnt eat at all...now its ok...you deserve to eat this crap..." NOT TRUE. What I DESERVE is to be healthy not feed my high cholesterol and blood pressure more.

I feel like one of those kids...all hyped up and running around going crazy...then hits a wall and bumps their head back to the real world! LOL



Thanks, I just needed to hear it from you.

OHHH, I was laying awake last night hoping the *****ing would be open this morning.

I'll start with just one word...HUSBANDS

First...I say honey, while Im at my dr consult...its across the street from Oriole Park and they are playing the Yankees (his team). We could get the standing $10 tickets and you could watch the game and I'll come find you. To which he replies...I wouldnt do that to you. Arent you having surgery? Yep...IM having surgery at 6 pm on Tuesday, and I never mentioned it and I didnt take off and Im not prepared. DO YOU NOT LISTEN? I told you I have two consults next week to see who I like!

Second...I tell him I have 2 weeks of class left in this semester and Im so ready to get it overwith cause my classes are on Thurs, Fri and Sat. I'd like to have my weekends back. He says...Oh, then school is over? MCFLY??? I started in October...YEP, I got a degree in eight months part time. HELLOOOO? Its for a degree! I wont graduate until 2012...WHAT PLANET ARE YOU LIVING ON??

Third...You have been out of work for 3 months and we are behind on everythign. Im doing my best here. I dont care if you dont think you are worth 8 dollars an hour...8 dollars is better than NOTHING!!

1. DH Still hasnt been able to get a job...at least hes going on  interviews finally

2. Been vomiting almost twice a day for two weeks since the doc gave me the fill that I told him I didnt want. I went today to get and unfill and give my poor sore throat a break. Im told...'We cant keep going this way, if you keep vomiting, we'll have to take all the fluid out and that will be counterproductive'...NO ****! What? You think I LIKE PUKEING TWICE A DAY ASSHOLE???

Im eating 1000 caloires a day, not losing ANY weight. Im afraid to eat solid food cause Im gonna throw up. NO, I CANT eat protein so I cant low carb anything. Im really sick of this and my quality of life is suffering with this band.

3. My mom's house is up for foreclosure and she may have to move cause my sister pays the bills and kept telling me everythign was fine...Yeah, looks like everything is fine.

4. If DH doesnt get a job soon, we'll be up for foreclosure and I cant help my mom when I cant even help myself.

Hi!
I know EXACTLY how you feel....like this is yet again another very expensive diet to fail.  Its devistating, depressing, embarassing and has left me feeling helpless. First, make an appt to sit down with your doc and discuss everything. Take your journals. Ive been writing down everything, from emotions at the time I eat something...how the food physically felt going down, every portioned meal that I can only eat a bite of and every PB. Be honest...I even write down the times I break down and eat ice cream cause noting else will go thru. As a matter of fact for my journal on Weds, it says "Im afraid to eat solid food cause it always gets stuck"

No, Im not working out like I should be, but according to my journal, im hovering aroudn 1000-1300 calories a day and Ive GAINED 2lbs. WTF?

Im tired of this, If Im gonna be fat at least let me enjoy some food for crying out loud.

My dr sent me for bloodwork and UGI and he even filled me, thought I fought it. Now, Im trying to get a revision...or honestly at least a second opinion.

Ive talked to my Nut...she says "I dont know whats wrong with you" yeah, thanks.

Sorry, I went off on my own rant, I just want to let you know you are not alone

E: Coffee w/ cream
B: Cheese squares and 3-4 crackers
L: Chicken enchilada soup
S: Starbucks skinny frap (going to funeral services)
D: 1 bbq rib and baked beans...I'll try to eat it anyway.
