Little Green Banded Monster

OK, so I am on here reading all of these success stories and responses to people having what I like to call "real people" issues and I have to say "it must be nice for losing weight to be a cake walk!" (no pun intended) This has been one of the most irritating chapters of my life! My husband asking every day...."did you weigh yourself?" co-workers "how much have you lost" Oh that's all.." Weighing food counting callories, don't eat this don't eat that. Let's face it, being a disciplined eater SUCKS a lot of the time! If it didn't none of us would be part of the "banded brethren" in the first place! Now don't get me wrong, I am not trying to discourage anyone, I am just letting go of the thoughts I am having HOPING I am not the only one! I am going to continue to find substitutes for the really bad foods I used to eat, I am still going to weigh and count callories. And I am still going to have days where when I see a skinny girl eating a cheeseburger I am going to want to trip her! Can I get some love for saying what a lot of us think!

    Amen sister!! I think all banders feel like this on at least one day, and if they say they don't, likely they are lying. This has not been an easy process. I have lost 25 lbs since surgery on June 22. Most of the weight came off the first month, the last few weeks it's just been 1 lbs a week even though I have a large calorie deficit. Some days are major frustrating and some days it's awesome.

    You are right when I see a skinny chick eating a big milkshake or a yeast roll, I want to slap her :) However, I want to loose this weight so I will discipline my self and count my calories and once the weight is gone I will enjoy shopping.

    LOVE the skinny girl eating a cheeseburger comment. I think ANYONE who is overweight can relate, LOL.

    I'm having surgery in 2 days, so I'm uber nervous about the whole post-op process. Heck, I'm nervous about the clear liquid diet for several days.

    No doubt I'll be joing the bandwagon in no time....

    Speak your mind. That's what our posts should be about ;)
