i am sorry to read this. i so hope you feel better soon. you are never far from my thoughts. i love ya

great post pumpkin bet there are way more fancy stores in boston there where i live if i ever get there to visit, lets go shopping

could be eating too fast, too big of bite or your bands sign of saying, we had enough and stop eating,,,,,,happens to me also

i like option 1 but i am not a doctor. i am sure the dr wil do what is best for you. bless your heart. this sounds just awful...hang in there. sending much positive pink vibes from nc that i can..

coming to fly over texas on my magic carpet to drop a pink glitter bomb over your head and the chicken coop........warning you.....be on the look out for a pink flying magic carpet (most likely swerving around clouds)......

my fave part jeannie: All you need to do is do your best, day by day, to work with your strengths and work around your weaknesses

eating chicken doesnt sound bad (here i was thinking it was a pizza or something like that). so you ate. so you ate more than you thought you should have.....move on and do better today.

your getting hungry because your swelling is going down...you need to sip as much as you can (including your protein shakes) at this time...the first 4 to 6 weeks is for healing and not be overly concerned about losing weight and such.... your dr gave you instructions on what to drink and for how long, try to stick to it the best you can...any questions, its best too call and ask them as they may not want you to do what mine suggested.

I think what you wrote makes sense. all the (past) failures are close and we remember...so what makes us think we can succeed this time...how I see it........just keep going I guess.....everytime I see someone say how do I survive bandster hell or the liquid pre or post op, I just wanna say by keep on going

I am trying to as best I can as I am responsible. but I do give ALOT to my ole man for all he does for me and WITH me....I would have a lonely road w/o him (and my lap band friends I made on this forum)

t , i agree with your post on all accounts. there is yeah i want to lose weight (that was me not long ago as i dipped my hand back into the bag of chips) and then there is the WANT to where i actually did something about it. YOU have that. you are a want power success god and i am proud of you...thanks for mentioning me although not sure what you read bless your heart.

whats done is done, you are not a failure. to fail means to quit and say F** it... so you start over eat your allotted cup of food.....lean protein, veggies, fruit cut out the junk/fast/snack foods, drink alot and walk (if its all you can do)...but just begin, today, right now. no excuses, no woe is me BS. we cant take back the past but we can change the future. if we want too you CAN do this..yes YOU can.....and i will argue with you all day if you want me to... if you want to, then do it..

decisions......french fries or cabo wabo tequila......let me think....

LOVE THIS and plan to print it out and keep it here at work

kime (hugs) for mentioning me and my ongoing drama of hate mail bless your heart for saying i do good. that means everything. and sometimes people are just ignorant. its as simple as that. and sorry you have to had go through that. love ya much

inches mean you are losing.....LOVED your post. you go girl........doing a happy dance for you (flipping up my skirt and everything) just for YOU.

i am most afraid of my grandbaby being ashamed of me because of what i look like...the insecurity monster is still nearby and all those years of dieting ups and downs and comparing myself to whomever def has took its toll...but she will now be able to see her meme healthier and def more happier. and that is what made me take that final push to do something about it..to be (healthy). not a number on a scale. but to be able to push her around the block in her stroller. i can now.

oh yeah, hub is a bow hunter

i do not have a fill and i am losing weight. i am proof you do NOT need a fill to lose weight. if you are not losing weight, you are not eating properly. you can eat 1/2 cup but if its cheap slider foods/high fat etc, its not helping...you need to be eating protein filled and filling foods, veggies and fruit and drinking ALOT. i have followed you since you were banded and i know you teach and i know you have kids...but you got to do this for YOU> the band will NOT make you not hungry or stop cravings. it is there to help you eat less. that is all...it will help you stay full longer.....and if you eat filling protein foods, you will be (satisfied). its a matter of want power. if you want to lose weight, then do it. dont wait for a doctor or a doctors visit it do it. and when you get into the dr, then get that fill but until then, make it happen.

to me, losing inches is losing weight..i weigh once a month at my dr follow ups so i have to judge my my clothes getting looser this is you krg.....you are awesome

100% shows me you have the mindset. it is mind over matter. those box of cheese its at walmart is not making me eat it.....I either choose to or not. I see success on YOU...yep, I does......

for me the first 4 or 5 days it was (hard). my hub, who I adore, actually did not eat in front of me pre or post op. bless his heart.....but it will get easier...keep drinking, keep your mental attitude in check. it seems like forever, but the pre and post is only for a small smidge of time...proud of ya

eye candy aka arlene aka dylans mom.....you made a terrific point.

great job on the swimming. that is great exercise. am also glad you stopped weighing as much because sometimes the scale is just not right and if you gain (for whatever reason) it just ruins your happy attitude esp when you KNOW you are on it and doing fabulous. as long as you are losing inches, then you are losing and i know you are. good luck on the upcoming fill
