Curvy vs Fat

Is it just me or is everything now curvy vs fat? I am tired of people now making excuses to be fat. No one will admit that being fat is unhealthy, which it is. I completely understand that we need to be proud of ourselves and take care of our appearances no matter what our weight is. I have been there and it was miserable finding clothes and feeling normal. I constantly hear fat people ( men and women) say they are healthy and they exercise. However, I know some of these people are maybe strolli

Loving Life!

I weighed in today and am down 26 lbs. So exciting! I was just banded 6/6 and I know the loss will slow down..but this is giving me motivation. Down 2 pants sizes and so I need to buy a few pairs of inexpensive pants so I can look decent at work. I have only been walking so looking to add weight training soon to tone up. I have to say I wish I would have considered Lap Band a few years ago. It is so nice to read all the posts/blogs of veteran banders. It makes such a difference to know how many

My first compliment

I was banded 6/6 and am down about 15 lbs. since( trying very hard not to weigh-in daily) I have been feeling great. I'm lucky that I have had no issues. It made my day today when a co-worker commented that I looked like I lost some weight. I carry most of my weight in my middle so my pooch is slowly melting. It just put a smile on my face on a busy Monday morning. I feel great since I gave up the diet soda. I quit cold turkey about a month go. I sleep better and feel lighter if that makes sense

Starting to exercise

Made a new playlist and did a 45 minute walk.Moderate pace...felt great to be moving!my goal is to walk until I am released to do weights/circuit.I sure missed walking-something relaxing.Its all about the music!I want to do my best & avoid as much loose skin as I can.However,I'm realistic...taking it one step at a time.

Am I too sensitive?

My teenage( Size 3)! daughter mentioned that I am no "fun" anymore. I just was banded 6/6 for goodness sake.She mentioned she misses the late night fast food runs and chinese buffets. wow. I know deep down she is happy for me but it kind of hurt my feelings. Is that uncommon? I wonder if other people have experienced little comments like that? My life really does revolve around food and over the last 6mos of pre-op I realized my obsession. My biggest addiction was diet soda--giving that up was h

Day 4 Post-Op

Today was a good day! Had surgery 6/6.Gas pains are subsiding. I had my daughter drive me last night to run some errands.Feel the walking round helped ease things a bit. My issue now is boredom. I took 10days off work. I need to get a hobby! TV is nothing but one food ad after another. I need to organize my house but I still cant lift. I m in AZ so getting out in the day is out of the question. It is already 110 degrees. I never want to smell or taste another protein drink.Ugh! I need to try the
