That is just too awesome
I would handle it the same way I handled it when I ran into my ex- a big smile and waving as I turned and walked away.
He doesn't deserve an explanation. Block him on FB and go on about your happy life. As the saying goes- if he doesn't love you at your worst then he sure as heck doesn't deserve you at your best.

Awesome!! And GOOD FOR YOU for not giving in, even though you were really into him. If he is only going to treat you right because you look a certain way, then he is not worth it!!!!! Put your energy into someone who is going to love you INSIDE and out!!!!

YES!!!! but Friday will take it's sweet time....

Yesterday I was out and about and ran into an ex-boyfriend. His greeting was "OMG...look at you, you're tiny!" After he finished showering me with compliments, he wanted to know if I was single and if he could call me sometime. I was a bit ga-ga over this guy for about a year and he didn't treat me as well as I deserved, so it was soooooo nice to tell him, "it was nice seeing you, take care". Then walking away without answering his relationship questions or giving him my phone number. Well, he turned Facebook stalker on me late last night. Even though he's not a FBF he was still able to send me a message, it was late so I didn't reply and he sent another one this morning.
I am now thinking of ways to let him know how I feel about our shot at a relationship the first time without sounding bitter - or coming off as conceited that I've changed so much since then, not just my physical appearance - I've done a lot of "me" work over the past 5 or 6 years and I think the lap band is the icing on that multi-layer cake.

Ok no one is questioning your intelligence. Bottom line is, the bands do not come pre filed. Period. Surgeons usually do put in a primer fill during surgery and do not consider it an actual fill. But that Fluid in your band didn't come from the manufacturer and it is removable. If you're as miserable as you claim, you can get some removed. If you'd rather stay here defensive of your degree and doctor's staff instead, go for it. We were only trying to help, whether you believe us or do something to help yourself isn't our problem.

That's not a small victory, that's huge!! Congratulations! I still have about 45 pounds to go to get to that one, but I have definitely been looking forward to it!

You probably won't experience any until you start on regular foods.. liquids go through easily...

Here is a link of information for those who are researching the band, their surgeons, what causes complications, how to avoid them.
Fluid -- you should never get a lap band that is too tight with little or no saline, there are two sizes AP small and AP large.
How to know you are in the Green Zone and when you are too tight
Also here is a link for those who are researching BAND-FRIENDLY surgeons that offer great aftercare, Allergan highly recommends a Band friendly surgeon.
Or you should make sure your surgeon has done MANY lap bands and has a very low revision rate.
Also most importantly --
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO GO TO A LAP-BAND® SPECIALIST
Not all weight loss centers are the same. It's important that your patients go to a LAP-BAND® System Specialist for your LAP-BAND® surgery. Use the LAP-BAND® specialist locator to find a qualified specialist for your patient.

Excuse my typos, autocorrect has a mind of its own!

Tonight, stuffed red peppers. Last night, Salmon and salad. Friday night, taco salad.

I just went through three scales that had the same issue. I kept returning them to bed bath and beyond. I finally bought an analog (dial) scale, and that seems to work better. The only downside is I have to get my husband to read it for me bc the little lines are too damn close together!!

OKOK It technically involves a scale, but not really lol
I weighed in this a.m. at 150.2. I had a fill scheduled for this morning and so I go in and get one done. It's customary for them to weigh you in, so I weighed in clothes and all minus the shoes. Don't you know..that scale said 148. I wanted to focus more on the fact that this was the FIRST time in my life, I've ever weighed less at the docs office opposed to at home- and that's DRESSED! Ok, I think this high will keep me happy for an entire week ahhaha

I went to my PCM the other day for a check up. She still has the old dinosaur weight scale. I had always wanted to not have to move that huge bottom weight past the 100 mark. I thought by the time I lost that much, those scales would be long gone! But none the less......it happened! 149.25 lbs. I did not have to move that bottom weight!!!!!!

^^^^^ LOL Im a guy !!!

I was banded on 6/11/13 with a 14cc band. Had my 1st fill today of 4cc's. Very easy & it didnt hurt at all. The Doc told me to do liquid for 24 hours than soft food for a day & then start introducing other foods. I am happy to report that I am now 40 lbs lighter! Also lost 2 pant sizes and a shirt size! Also my blood work came back Awesome!

When You Mentally choose to Never Look back Where You Have Been It's Easier to Look forward to What You want to Become!! Look at The New profile Pic!!! I.m Hot!!!! In My Beyonce Voice!!!

I can't say it enough. Don't fear hunger. You should be hungry, it's normal to be hungry. As long as you are satisfied on your band sized portions, you're good to go. If you are not, then time for a fill. In time, you will also be able to distinguish real hunger from head hunger. Also...don't know if anyone else feels this way, but being hungry is a good feeling for me. And I mean real hunger. It's not something I was used to what with my eating all the damn time. But now, I look forward to it because I know it's a signal which I listen to, act on, and then move forward.
I don't know how to explain it other than to say that being in control is such a high..and a way better feeling than losing control and overeating or eating poorly.

After an intense workout most doctors recommend you injust some Protein. It will help replenish your muscles and keep you satisfied until your next meal. That's something that helps me.
