  1. HER BAND SLIPPED. SHE KEPT IT TO TIGHT THINKING SHE WOULD JUST DRINK HER CALORIES. WHEN SHE DID EAT SHE PB'd AND KEPT DOING THAT. "WHAT THE HELL" WAS HER THOUGHT, I'M STILL LOSING I'M SURE PEOPLE THAT ARE BULIMIC AND ANOREXIC SAY THE SAME THING. I'VE SEEN IT HERE ALSO WITH BANDS TO TIGHT, "BUT I'M LOSING, WOO HOO" IT'S JUST NOT A HEALTHY CHOICE WITH POTENSIAL TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCES SURE I DRINK, JUST NOT TO THAT EXTENT. EVERYTHING HAS TO BE IN MODERATION IMO, A HAPPY MEDIUM
  2. THIS IS A TUFF ONE FOR ME TO ANSWER. MY FRIEND, BANDED WITH ME IS AN ALCOHOLIC. SHE ACTUALLY DRANK MORE AFTER BEING BANDED. I THINK IT'S HER ADDICTIVE PERSONALITY. ONCE SHE STOPPED EATING SHE JUST TURNED MORE TO HER VINO AS A WAY OF COPING WITH HER FOOD LOSS
  3. I'M NOT WINNING THE "BAT WING" CONTEST WE SISSYS HAVE AT THANKSGIVING THIS YEAR LOL WE TRY AND GET THEM BABIES REALLY SWINGIN LOL OK GROSS BUT IT KEEPS US AMUSED I'LL SEE IF I CAN'T BUG THE OLD MAN TO SNAP A PHOTO HERE TONIGHT AND POST IT. IT'S ONLY BEEN 6 WEEKS NOW SO...
  4. THAT'S A PRETTY STEEP FILL GOING FROM 1.2 TO 2.5 IF YOU HAVE THE 4CC BAND. I AGREE WITH LISA, BACK ON LIQUIDS FOR A FEW DAYS, SEE HOW THAT GOES AND IF NEEDED THINK ABOUT GETTING A LITTLE UNFILL IF THINGS HAVEN'T GOTTEN BETTER KEEP US POSTED
  5. THE ARMS WERE A HARD DECISION FOR ME BECAUSE OF THE SCARRING ISSUE. I DO HEAL WELL SO I THINK THAT PUSHED ME MORE TOWARDS GETTING THEM DONE. BUT NOW THAT THEY'RE DONE, THE SCAR IS PRETTY WELL HIDDEN UNTIL I LIFT MY ARMS. WHEN DOING WHATEVER, THE SCARS ARE TUCKED AWAY PRETTY GOOD, NOT TO FAR FORWARD OR BACK TO FAR. BY EARLY SPRING THE SCARRING SHOULD JUST ABOUT BE NON EXISTENT, I CAN HOPE LOL.
  6. I HAVE AT&T AND YOU JUST HAVE TO WATCH THE FRONT OF YOUR PHONE TO SEE IF IT'S COMING FROM THEM OR A MEX TOWER. MINE WAS ABOUT HALF AND HALF. I JUST NEVER ANSWERED IF SOMEONE CALLED AND THEN JUST RETURNED THE CALL ONCE I KNOW I WAS ON AT&T
  7. HOW AWESOME IS THAT? GOT TO LOVE THE BAND!!!
  8. YOU'VE GOT THE RIGHT ATTITUDE SABRINA!!! STILL KEEPIN YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE
  9. YOU'LL LEARN OVER TIME TO EAT SMALLER BITES. EATING ISN'T A RACE FOR ME ANY MORE. I SIT AND ENJOY A MEAL AND CHEW TO GET THE MOST I CAN OUT OF EVERY BITE GET OUT YOUR MEASURING SPOONS, THAT'S THE BEST MEASURE I CAN THINK OF RIGHT NOW LOL AN AVERAGE BITE FOR MYSELF WOULD BE ABOUT 1/2 tsp. MEATS FOR MYSELF BETWEEN AN 1/8 - 1/4 tsp SIZED PIECES. (my band isn't that tight so that could make a difference also but this is what i think is about "normal', watching "normal sized woman" eat)
  10. WALK WALK WALK TO KEEP THE GAS FROM SETTLING IN
  11. CONGRATULATIONS ANDY, YOU'VE TAKEN YOUR FIRST STEPS TO BECOMING HEALTHY
  12. EEEECK, I'M SO SORRY NICOLE PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED. HOPING AND PRAYING ALL HEALS FOR YA AND NO SURGERY!!!
  13. A STICKY THREAD ON THE SUBJECT: http://www.lapbandforum.com/index.php?showtopic=10934
  14. IT IS CONFUSING CARRIE BUT FOR ME, IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW I FEEL. SOMEDAYS I CAN DO WITH LESS, SOME DAYS MORE DEPENDING ON WHAT I'M DOING OR AGAIN HOW I FEEL
  15. FOR MY FIRST FILL I GOT 1.8 AT THE OCC AND THEY SAID I COULD HAVE GONE TO 2.0 BUT I WAS THE ONE THAT SAID NO THANKS, NOT UNTIL I FIGURE THIS BAND THING OUT FIRST LOL I WAS WONDERING NICOLE ABOUT BEING ON MUCHIES. HOW LONG DOES YOUR DR HAVE YOU ON THEM FOR? I'VE HEARD TWO WEEKS EARLY ON BY A FEW DR'S, I KNOW NOT THE OCC, BUT AFTER THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT. WHEN I WAS BANDED AT THE OCC THE GENERAL PHILOSOPHY WAS TO TRY AND LEARN GOOD HEALTHY EATING HABITS THAT FIRST 18 MONTHS AND AVOID MUSHIES
  16. WOO HOO!!! YOUR MOVING RIGHT ALONG THERE GIRLY!!!
  17. WHAT'S THE HARM? TWO PEOPLE I KNOW THOUGHT THIS SAME THING, BOTH WERE BANDED AT THE OCC, BOTH LOST THEIR BANDS THAT'S THE HARM
  18. MY PLASTIC SURGEON SAYS NO ALCOHOL OR VITAMINS 2 WEEKS BEFORE AND 2 WEEKS AFTER SURGERY FOR HIS PATIENT. BOTH PROMOTE BLEEDING
  19. I WAS A BAD GIRL TOO THE DAY AFTER BANDING WE WERE IN THE BAR DRINKING WINE. OTHER THEN ALCOHOL HAVING EMPTY CALORIES WHAT THE HECK, WE WERE JUST RELAXING, ENJOYING OUR VACATION. NOT GETTING WASTED. OF COURSE NO CARBONATION FOR 6 MONTHS
  20. VERY COOL JULIE. AFTER MY SISSY'S REDUCTION, IT WAS LIKE THEY ADDED A LIFT IN THERE ALSO AND THEY LOOKED PERFECT!!! BEST OF LUCK TO YOU, I'M SURE YOU'LL DO JUST GREAT!!! (i'd love to see a photo of the new do )
  21. DAMN, I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE THAT DEEP OF HEART ACHE, LOSING A CHILD IT'S A GOOD REMINDER TO ALL, THANK YOU
