WOW! I am a newbie to this site. This is my first and will be my last post. Funny that the originator of this forum had the freedom to speak her mind, however, when Banderama took her position to speak her belief, the vultures came out. Everyone should practice what they preach on this site. Everyone who commented to move on could have done the same themselves but chose to name call and patronize by suggesting sugar free popcicles. Someone even trying to put Banderama's comment on the level of a cancer patient. There should be no comparison made there. I am a Christian, I truly beleive in and praise God, but at the same time I respect others and I would expect them to repect me. Religious beleifs is not a topic that should be discussed on a lap band forum. Lap Bands and the positives and negatives, the high and lows that our members are going through should be the forum.
@Schrcumm....congratulations on your amazing accomplishments...I hope to be as enthusiastic and celebratory.
@Banderama, good luck to you on your journey. Be strong in your beleifs and do not let the closed minded offend you.
Fare well Lapbandtalk.com......there must be a better support site out there for me.....

Let everyone start posting about their beleifs and religious preferences. Oh but that would probably be too much if everyone did it. So we should just let this one go by because....well you guys praise god too! I don't think god would really appreciate the name calling, and bandwagoning going on here. But then again that is how religious people handle everything. They turn things around until they make things the way they want it. For instance they say well "god led me to the lap band, he is good" I mean come on. You really think god invented the lapband for you? No the men that invented the lapband are scientists who believe in evolution not creation. God didn't invent the processed fast foods that we have all eaten to get us here either.

Well I've just finished a lovely glass of chianti!!! I say little and not too often why not!!! My surgeon never said no just be aware of calories!!! **** we eat next to nothing now!!! A glass or two on occasion is not going to kill me like say a heart attack from being over weight would of!!! Lol !!!

Everyone is different and every person will tell a different story!! I've been reading threads and thinking " oh god what of I do that!!" Its a learning curve and we all learn and experience at different rates! I can say I feel better now then I ever have. ! I know my band swells in the morning as I feel bloated but not to the extent of pain or uncomfortable ! To be honest 5 weeks in I'm in no pain I'm eating small healthy meals I've lost 19 lbs. I'm working with my wonderfull band not against it , and everyday it teaches me a new way with food and my new life! It's been easier then I thought it would be . Good luck .

Does anyone manage pasta? I love pasta would love some!! I'm on pureed at the mo. any suggestions

I'm proud of myself! And of anyone else who's had wls !! I have had some people say I shouldn't of done it Im not big enough I should of done it in my own but quite clearly I CAN'T!!! And give me ten years and more weight goes on and more illnesses creep in ..... Wow what a life!!! To be honest I think people who give back bad feed back are narrow minded and probably gelous! Why should we not feel good and happy and most of all be healthy !!!! If they don't understand who cares there feedback really don't matter it's you that matters .
