Hi, I am the hematoma girl Mine popped up day after surgery and I was black and blue for several weeks. It was scary to look at but didn't hurt as bad as it looked. The swelling went down and I believe everything's good.

Neeters!!! You made it to Tijuana and the OCC safely Glad you got your Diet Coke fix. By the time I am writing this, you're probably just waking up and getting ready for your bandday! Congrats again! See you tomorrow!

Ok, so some of us are curious as to how many people had good restriction after their first fill. Here's a poll asking about restriction, where you went for your first fill, and how much weight you lost prior to your first fill. Take the time to respond. If you're not a member of the forum, join so you can answer! Thanks!

WOLF WHISTLE Nice cut

Renee, that would involve drinking first!

Sympathy for an early-soup-starter? Just kidding Jena. Sorry you're not feeling well. Soup gives some more gas because ya sip. I personally didn't like the creamy potato soup at hand and that made me sick Do feel better

CRACKING UP

Jena, I'm not far from HOTLANTA, so invite me and feed me the fried chicken, biscuits, et al. Just let me recover from the carrot cake!!!

Jena, Jena, Jennnnnnnnnna, Of course most of us would go anywhere but to try to plan something like this, we need a count and a location! I'd prefer Hawaii!

Cheryl, We'll be staying at the Lucerna Hotel Friday night and have fills scheduled for Saturday. KIMRA on the forum is being banded on Friday!

I don't think I'll be taking my baby spoon to the restraurant though

SD and LV are nearly at a tie. Seattle is popular. What's wrong with Denver

Ok, I have been in bed sick since I got home from work. No vomiting, no PBing, just sick. Maybe it's just sugar overload? Not really sure. Some chest pain (I guess that's what it is)????? But I think I learned my lesson. I'm quitting my job so I don't have to deal with office birthdays! But then I can't pay for my fills unlesssssssss .. oh yeah that's what I married LARRY for!!!! Larry if you're reading the forum checking out the hotties, just know we all love you!

Renee, Renee, Renee... you're SKEERING me!!!!!

I spend most of my time in my office and was able to return to work the morning after I arrived home from Tijuana. No problems that I can remember. Did have a hematoma but I survived that.

First meal after surgery: chicken broth, jello and apple juice. I ate little to nothing but did drink my juice. Then had to make it to the restroom real quick that night! First dinner after liquids/soup - a quesdilla (didn't eat rice or beans). Chicken guesdilla with guacamole. Nothing to drink. Maybe a chip or two and some salsa.

Our group is renting a car since we'll be sightseeing ...... so we won't hook up with you guys until Friday evening at the hotel. RENEE, find us! Dawn

Thanks Lynna... Calicat, dear friend, I had one HUGE piece. I'm so sick. I actually called you while I was belly aching

Hi Caroline, Good luck on preop! I did 2 slim fast optima creamy chocolate shakes and 1 lean cuisine. The shakes were great if you put them in the freezer about 30-45 minutes before you drank them. If I went out to lunch I ordered a side salad (lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers and mushrooms only) and then had my lean cuisine for dinner. I used salsa for dressing if I was desperate and otherwise, didn't use anything. I learned to like the shakes and the lean cuisines..... I never realized how I would DREAM of having a meatloaf and mashed potato lean cuisine... but I did. I also drank Special K protien water (pink lemonade) all day long. Good stuff.

Mine does. And sporadically. Going to find out if it's normal this Saturday. I was banded 4/4 so we're out about the same time.

Office birthday. Ham n Goody's carrot cake. Shoot me. Make me strong. Need support. SOS
