Hey Mimi

Hey Mimi! It's been almost a week, how are you doing so far? Is your daughter wearing you out walking around the house? You've been quiet, so I thought I would ask about you.

Well I see she isn't sharing. She is doing good. She has had a pain in her chest since surgery. She has been checked out but it just won't go away. Otherwise she is doing wonderful. I am so proud of her. She is staying active. You know I have her children spoiled rotten. She walks around the house all day with her daughter who is 13 months old, she holds onto your finger but she will not attempt to walk on her own. I am sure Mimi is ready to kill me. Jane

well at least she doesn't have to sing show tunes. yet!! pain in the ......

Hey now I happen to like show tunes. Mimi I know you will be just fine and that you have wonderful support. Keep her walkin kids hehehehehehe..

Hey Ryan. I am sorry I haven't been on much. I am doing really well since my surgery. I feel pretty good except for this terrible pain that I am having in my chest and back. It is frustrating because as far as the surgery goes, I feel GREAT. This is the ONLY thing that is making my life miserable right now. The Lap Band is a strange little tool. Right now, I have no restriction but I have to eat as if I do. So, I am eating 4 oz of Full Liquids every couple of hours. I won't lie, there are times that I feel like I am starving. My stomach growls all the way into my chest. Its not uncomfortable...its just weird. I guess that is because my tummy is not used to being empty. Could explain the reason I am obese? So, that is a strange sensation. I am doing ok with it though. Get hungry...EAT. Start to feel full....Stop. Its a pretty easy concept really. The Full Liquid diet isn't much fun. There just isn't much that you can eat. I am not a person that likes milk and that makes it challenging to find different things to eat that are not always milk based. I have some different protein powders that I am trying out that taste like watermellon, lemonade, grape, cherry, fuzzy navel, etc. So, that makes it a bit easier than the same ole choc and vanilla stuff. Hopefully, the pain will stop soon. I am going outta my head with it. I am calling the Dr tomorrow and hopefully SOMETHING can be done. I don't even care anymore what that is. Thanks for asking about me.

Wow the dead have risen!!!!! Sorry to hear your still having the chest pain. Maybe it is from the burden that is getting ready to be lifted from you. It is saying goodbye one last time. REad my other post I might be calling the docs tomorrow too. HEy we could call together. hahahaha DO you remember what you said after surgery? Ask Sarah or I will tell you in a PM.

Oh Gosh!! I thought I was good after surgery. I tried so hard to not say anything that would embarrass me. I kept telling my husband and Jane to not let me embarrass myself. Did I embarrass myself?

Ok...I asked Amy....and I think you were higher than me.... I remember waving to you and saying that I see you and recognized you. I remember telling Michelle that I was sorry that you guys had to see me not looking very cute...or something goofy like that. I remember thanking you guys for coming and then I think I drifted back to happy land...

You did keep telling us that you normally look better and we kept tellin ya you were crazy lol. You were also really tickled to get your headband back lol. You didn't do anything crazy while I was there but I was out of it myself, that whole lack of sleep thing. I know I have done and said crazy stuff while under the influence of meds at the hostpital lol. It's all good everyone gets a laugh and you feel all happy and care free lol.

Mimi, Have you tried taking some GasX? Sometimes air gets in there. Or you may have a hiatal hernia. Did they say anything about that when they done your chest x-ray? Well, I hope you find out soon! Keep us posted. Hugs Sharee
