My Lap-Band Journey

So I am not sure if I should be worried. First let me say it is nice and cold out today as it was last night. But it was HOT yesterday. When this happens my sinuses go crazy!!! I drain and then I dry heave because I can’t stand the drainage. It hits my gag reflex and there she blows… Anyway…


Last night I did eat something I probably was not suppose to for dinner. That was like 8 or more hours ago. Then I wake up this AM at 5 coughing in my sleep and dry heaving. I made it to the bathroom and dry heaved again.

Also I am on my time of the month which makes my band tighter to begin with so I am wondering if the fill I had Monday finally kicked in and along with my period I am just way too tight. Or… is it just my sinuses….
 
babe it might be your sinuses, as i am feeling equally shitty this morning. im not leaving the windows open tonight, and gonna get the humidifier back out. hopefully that will help. but i got the same draining, ect, goin on. no dryheaving tho, but you are more prone to that than me, so
 
Good morning Lith and Rusty.
I've had what I thought was my usual cold/virus for this time of year.
Thing is, it's gone beyond it's usual run and seems to have turned and come back on me, which further leads me to believe it's a seasonal allergy, and not a cold at all.
grrrrr
Hope you two feel better.
 
Ok so I am part of a lap band forum and I read this one post and it was so inspirational... I was so moved.. I had to share it...We have a thread going about compulsion to eat regardless of restriction or not. Its really a mental thing....

Food is my heroin- it is my drug of choice- Once I start it is hard to stop.....

"I have an addiction - I am in recovery for the last 3 yrs - but the want is still there - do I act on it no - but the desire is with me."

"What stops me is that I have lost 115 lbs and I feel so much better - I never want to be morbitly obese again.. I don't want to go back there - so I don't eat the crap that got me there in the 1st place"


:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap: My recovery started 8/10/2010:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:
 
Ok so yesterday was hard for me. I had a headache since Friday afternoon and it was just horrible. I still had it when I went to bed last night. Not only that but Im PMSing and just want to eat everything that moves... This just sucks
 
I just got the explination of benefits from my insurance for the cost of my surgery....

..............$20,251.00......................And I don't pay a thing....
 
Well that is good news:clap: Good insurance you got there. Either you have no deductable, or reached it for the year. Did the headache go away yet?
(muleman - i'm not talking about Rusty you old goat)

Put a 5 in front of that and that is what my summer of 2007 cost. The bizarre part is they bill $300 to read the electronic report my ICD sends over the phone to them. Be glad you don't have anything that needs monitoring or a replacement when the battery dies.
 
My headache has gone away thanks for asking tsaw.
I do have a very good insurance, I pay copays for Dr. visits and meds but I do not have a deductable that I am aware of.
 
Ok so UPDATE:


Ive lost about 6 inches since getting my go fit pro gym. The scale really hasnt moved.

Earlier in the week when I was feeling okay I was having a big problem with not eating because I was bored... I was at work and had nothing to do and the urge to eat was HORRIBLE. I managed to get through it..

Monday- Well it was monday

Tuesday- ehhhh

Wednesday- Really bored...really wanted to eat but not hungry...

Thursday I started feeling really bad - sinus crap
Friday- Bitch boss actually let me go home early... :wow:
Now today...still feel like crap...
 
Did you eat Rusty's cooking again? Seriously, you will find some things you ate before will give you trouble for the first few months. Watch the high acid foods like tomatoes as your body still wants to produce stomach acid and the area is now smaller.
 
7:15 and you did not have supper done yet? You will never make a good house mom! By that time even my cows are done eating. Wife made me some therapy food today! Blueberry pie and it is delicious.
