Dec 03, 2009
I am now down 13.5 pounds since my surgery day of Tuesday of last week. WHile I fully understand that the loss will not occur like for, probably, the remainder of my entire loss-lol- I am still on cloud none about this and it is the very jump start I needed to improve my confidence and motivation even more and to just give me a shot in the arm and a pat on the back for all of my efforst since last MAY when I began the insurance fight. I am so happy right now.......Continued success to all of ussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!

I Was Visited by the Ghost of Foods Past!
Nov 28, 2009
OH my...I was banded last Tuesday morning, 11/24/09, a very "inconvenient" two days before Thanksgiving. I was sent home w/liquid antibiotics because of a sinus infection. For the past few days, every time I take the antibiotics with my protein drink, I get ill. The night before last I was VERY ill. My Dr. told me I did not have to go to emergency because the Phenagren did finally take hold each time ( the last time took longest) and I am not continuing the antibiotics and just praying the sinus thing is over.
So, I have to ask you guys! Have any of you that have been recently banded ever had dreams about FOOD!? OMG! When I quit smoking I had dreams about that.....When I was trying to conceive I had many dreams about that.....But NOW I am having dreams about FOOD! I am just stunned at how deeply imbedded this is into our brains/emotions/beings!!
SUCH a weird dream too. I was in this little mom and pop store. It was my break at work. I bought pizza slices and a ham sandwich and something else....I remember feeling so shameful walking past the other people in the store with my hands full. When I got to the counter, I asked the overworked girl who had NO time to go looking for anything where the chocolate DONUTS were! I was so worried she would not be able to find them that I walked behind her like an overly eager kid in a toy store trailing behind the adult looking for my toy as if m desire alone would send enough energy to them to help them locate the very item I longed for. During my dream, it was like, I KNEW that all this was killing me and making me unhappy, except all I could think about was how good it was going to be! Lol!
Then, I woke up!!! I was in my own room! It was still Thanksgiving Day. I was still banded and still queasy! ( the rest is true except for the parts I made up) So- I stuck my head out the window where I saw the cutest little boy heading to the store for his mother, no doubt. I yelled " My good boy! What DAY is it?" " It's Thanksgiving Day, or course!!" said the boy. I then threw him a shilling ( okay, not a shilling, but a fiver) and asked " Boy! Is that can of chicken broth still sitting on the shelf of Hancock's Drugs just as it has been for the past decade?" " Why, yes it IS Maam!" he shouted. " Well, then go GET IT, Boy!! Hehehe! Bring on the broth and that's a good lad!" And now my queasiness is over, I am feasting on broth and protein drink and life is good. God bless us banders, every one.
