Never regret your band....

I was reading some posts (ok a crap load) of people saying they don't want their band anymore, they feel it isn't "working"...   Thankfully I then saw responses from others...are they journaling all of their food? That is so key!   Even if you are a slower loser than the fast one you should still be counting calories, listening to your pouch, stop eating because you can etc.   It really does come down to the adage my surgeon touted...10% Band and 90% you

I will be daring and be totally honest with all of you...

I am scared some days, I am scare of who I am, who I am becoming...   the weight comes off and people are noticing lol, the one thing I want is happening and yet I am scared... people notice me.   Simple as that, they have looked at me, they have said that I look really good, that they can tell how much weight I have...   I am scared. I do not know this person, I am not fantastic looking but still 40 lbs down from where I started is good I know - this person - who is she? Does she wear t

Howdy, I am doing pretty darn good if I say so myself. I am at what my surgeon calls my "sweet spot" !!!:eek:   This is pretty huge to me and to anyone else who has the band and gets to this point - I didn't really understand when I heard others talk about their "sweet spot" but now I truly get it.   I am doing extremely well with foods and I am figuring out on a daily basis what works best for me nutrition and hunger wise. I have made a few small tweaks as to what keeps me satiated and I

Sunday and the livin' is... well.... hungry?

Ok so the livin' should be easy right? According to that song that starts that way....   instead I am hungry lol and having moment where I am afraid to eat because I am so hungry I think I might eat too much?   Does this make sense? When you let yourself go a little too long without food you worry you will I eat too much?   I hate that feeling of "stuck-ness" more than I hate the feeling of hunger these days. - which I only have when I am not taken good care of myself - which is this past

A little snarky but at least it is in my blog and not on the forum...

so... this will be a little snarky sounding but... why is it that some people who do not have the band seem to think they have it all figured out?   They will do it right, they will not make mistakes, they will always follow to rules - what bullsh*t honestly.   I hate to break it to them but it doesn't exactly work like that LOL, I thought I too would be anal retentive and do everything right, however, as we know it doesn't necessarily always go as planned...   I am not saying this is all

Lost some poundage- bittersweet...

Ah yes sweet success, I lost 5 pounds in the past week and a half lol, so after being stagnant for what seemed forever I finally am moving....   but then again although this is freakin' sweet what really is striking me funny is that no matter how much I lose- there I am...   (there is a book I have that is called "no matter where you go there you are" - highly recommend reading it folks)   and essentially, no matter how much I change on the outside I am still me, loving, courageous, passi

You are a mean one Mrs. Grinch.... You know who you are!

Disclaimer... its my blog, it isn't alway nice and some times I get cranky lol   I will not name names, I will not be specific but there is a person who I came across today who is not only nasty and mean but clearly uneducated in regards to the lap band.   How dare you criticize others? Where do you get off telling others what they should do? You are not perfect or otherwise would you be here with the rest of us? Would you have a weight problem? Hell no, your fat ass is here with us - get u

Just want to talk...

Hi Mr. Blog -   I am tired but unable to sleep, drugged up from the meds, my lower pelvic area is still painful from the ovarian cyst - the doctor says "lets wait and see"   The last time we waited to see I ended up having emergency surgery.   I mean honestly - I got to see the internal ultra sound (twice, once at E.R. and once at surgeons office) and there is a bit of blood leaking, but that stupid cyst just isn't big enough yet to worry about...   now I know these guys can seal back

I cried last night

So, first of all I have today off from work just in case any one reads this and thinks I am slacking lol - I love this site!   So without sounding all dramatic and silly I wanted to say that last night I had a unnerving emotion run through me.   I had purchased "Weight loss surgery for Dummies" before I had my surgery and last night I pulled it out to review it again - and in the middle of reading it I remembered back to when I was reading it the first time....   I was curled up in bed for

Confessions I must make - don't read if you are going to give me heck please :)

So, I had quit smoking before my surgery and was very proud of that, however, I did start smoking and have been for the past 6 months.   Now I have smoked since I was a teen - eek! I know and I hate it, I have quit so many times but then something happend....   my husband and I quit New Years day together at 8 pm and this is the longest I have gone without actually feeling like I wanted to start up again.   This is huge because while before I had quit for long periods of time I would obse

1 pound at a time

Well, my first blog here at lapbandtalk.com and I feel nervous - I mean what if someone actually reads this?   I named it "1 pound at a time" because I have to start remembering that just like the Alcoholic Anonymous saying " one day at a time" it really is one pound at a time.   I cannot keep looking so far ahead a that I lose sight of the here and now, the little triumphs and the little victories.   So today was that little victory, I lost one pound - and I am fine with this as I haven
