    SO EMBARRASSING !!

    Thee-O replied to CNP28's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Welcome to the lap band. Home of the gurgles and burps. Sorry to tell you this is part of the new you. You will get used it it. What is a little gurgle when you are losing weight anyway???

    That is awesome. Keep at it. I had my surgery 4 months ago and I still don't have any fills. You have the lap band in you for life and if you are losing weight, then keep going without the fills. To me it is best to start off changing your habits and lifestyle first and lose that way then just by restriction. I think it is better for long term weight loss and being able to maintain it. Good luck on your journey

    I think you are the right place. For me, I think a little reality is needed for some people. There is a ton of support on this site and also a a lot of encouragement, but I think we all need to help each other face the reality of our decisions. If I screw up, I don't need someone telling me it is OK. I need someone to help me be accountable for my own actions. We are all going to fumble and fall in life but if you can't take the reality of the situation and do what you can to break the bad habits then how do you learn from this? I think there is a fine line between keeping it real and bashing...and I don't think many people on here want to bash other bandsters, but we all need someone to help, and sometimes the best help is tough love. To me I see to much "It is ok, don't let it get you down" on here. I wanna see more, "stop crying and get your ass in the gym". We all know why we are fat, we all know what led us to surgery, but the truth is, we all need a little kick in the ass sometimes....at least in my opinion... I hope to be supportive and encouraging to others, but I don't want to pussyfoot around our issues either.

    The hardest part of change is accepting and embracing it. It is never easy, but always worth it.

    So much has happened to me in the last 4 months of my life. Looking back at it, it just crazy. I lost a lot but gained so much more. I lost a lot of weight but gained a ton of insight. I lost a few friends but gained peace of mind. I lost a job but gained a career. As long as I always come out of it without losing my soul, my faith and my love...I will be all good.

    Great job...and it does get easier to say no to things. Once you start seeing and feeling the changes in your body, it will come easy to say no to those tempting treats. It is all mind over matter. I haven't had Pizza or Pasta in over 4 months...and I don't really miss it.

    Pity, party of one.......

    Thee-O replied to Alli in StL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    From what I understand it is pretty normal to start off with 1 or 2 cc's during your initial surgery.

    I am not sure if I belong anymore but I know for sure that don't really care. I have moved on. I am not racing to catch up. I am moving in another direction entirely.

    Getting a lot of friends and family saying I look younger. All I know is I feel a lot younger.

    Work....then worked out. Felt good to my sweat on. Now having some house special chicken and watching some Anthony Bourdain. Nice way to end my Monday.

    Hey Layne, Snacking is ok. Just as long as they are good Snacks. If you are snacking on apple slices, great! If you are snacking on Potato Chips...not so great. I count calories mainly. I use (and a lot of the people on this site also use it) Myfitnesspal.com. It is a great tool to help you count your calories throughout this journey. I suggest you look into it. Keeping a food diary is a great idea and this will also help you keep a diary of all your exercise. The more you burn, the more you can take in and then snacking could be a ideal situation. As far as carbs. I am not hardcore about counting carbs but I found that eliminating these 3 things, White Rice, White Bread and Potatoes (which I call the white devils) help out quite a bit. I don't generally eat bread or rice anymore, but from time to time I have noodles. I work out a lot, so I do need some carbs for energy. You are losing good weight and that is awesome. Keep up the great work!

    Do you still enjoy food after lapband...

    Thee-O replied to Band. James Band.'s topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    I still consider myself a foodie. But more of just a healthy foodie now. I love good food and enjoy eating out... I just eat in moderation now. I also stay away from rice, bread and potatoes. I load up on fruits, veggies and protein. I still want to enjoy food, I just don't eat all the junk food, processed foods and fast food anymore. I haven't had pizza, beer, french fries, pancakes, donuts, cakes, etc in 4 months and the longer you do without, the less you miss it.

    I love chugging water. Especially when working out. I have no issue pounding the water at this point but I don't have any fills
