Being rubbed raw or how about being put through a meat grinder. That more or less sums it up. Heres a tissue, who's.

Traci, thanks for the pictures!! I am going to get me a new saddle today. I am tired of being.........well,............ rubbed raw.

Who's, I knew you were a big bawl baby down deep. You just try to look mean is all!!!!!!

Traci, I was like..hmmmm.. I dont see any seats..... ZZ, I will wait to see what you put up tonight

ZZ, I need to know what size the childrens s, m, and l are...you know like, 3-4 or what they are..

K, I will be waiting to see the proof.....and I would like at LEAST three different pictures, in three different places in the gym!!! LOL.....The flips are soooo cute.... I love them. I will order some more if I can get my nieces sizes....

Hey Traci, will you take a picture of your saddle for me to see. I know, a weird request.

ZZ, helping a fellow bandster and biker out. NOW, you have to get to the gym this week!!!! I did for you, now you do for me.....heheheheheh... Oh, and in case anyone has been wondering when my bday is...it is in 21 days and in case you want to kill two birds with one stone, my 15 year anniversary is in 5 days..... HAHAHAHA, jk....but I do love cards!!

Oh and ZZ, good for you on the cookies. Tomorrow is pay day if I remember right for you......NO JUNK FOOD. I WILL BE HIDING IN YOUR STORE WATCHING YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONLY HEALTHY FOODS!!

Traci, I thought I was gonna fall on the floor when I saw what your exercise ticker said. That is so funny!!! I love it. ZZ, I will go look right now.

B??? JC????? where are they? Enjoying their new life I suppose.

Awe, you two are so awesome!!! I needed a loss. I have been playing with same ten pounds since April!!!! I went riding this morning by myself. No DH. Just me. SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Don't tell him, but I really loved it!!! I love riding with him too, but wow, it was so nice to be out there by myself. I went 22.85 miles in 1hour 24 min. I might just do this more often.

Your not alone here.....I have been banded almost 15 months and just had my first PB ever a couple of days ago. A PB is a productive burp. A burp that produces food or slime. Mine was very productive. It was weird and I don't want to do it again. ALthough, it was better than sliming for 45 minutes.

Went for a fill today and I lost 6 pounds since last fill three weeks ago!!! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! I am past 100 pounds lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooooo super uber excited, I wanted you all to be the first to know. ANd your the only ones who care, besides family members!!!! I never change my ticker back if I gain weight, only move it down, so I had gained some back after the unfull. Not a lot, but a few pounds. I also got a bit more put in so now I am at 7.25. I am hoping that I can get that never hungry felling back. I loved that so much!!!! I am soooo excited about the 100 pounds and now 3 more pounds until I hit ONEDERLAND!!!!

Looks like a couple of centuries and you will get caught up Traci. LOL..jk

HP, I remember that fit!!! LOL....I would of been throwing it right along with you if my DH would of done that too!!

I wonder how often a spouse leaves a spouse after weight loss? Like real statistics. My DH has weighed the same since high school. He wears the same size, always has. He has watched me balloon up to 305 and NEVER made a comment about my weight. He always told me how beautiful I was no matter how much I weighed. I know this is not true for everyone, but love is love, and if someone is going to leave you because of weight, either loss or gain, then they are not worth having in the first place. I know that doesn't help with what your wife feels, but she must be feeling very insecure about herself. How much weight has she lost? Is she happy with her loss? Maybe she feels like you are leaving her behind with all the exercise. Too bad you can't get her to do it with you.

Hmmm, well, I can see the jealousy thing, if it were the other way around for me....I would not want my DH to be talking to a lot of women either. Although, my DH is not the jealous type, he loves that I have people I can talk to about my issues that he has no idea about, but I wonder why she doesn't want to exercise with you. That would be a great way to support each other and she would feel so much better. Has she ever exercised since banding? I agree with the bike, wait until you can get a nicer one. You will want to upgrade really quick otherwise. I wish I would of known you were looking, I just sold my mans road bike I had and got a woman specific one. It was a 54" and it costs me 679.00 and I sold it for 450.00, it was not even a year old. It might not of even fit you, but dang it. You are a great encouragement to lots of people. You have done so very very well, andI think a lot of people would be dissappointed if you were not on here anymore showing them what is possible if they just put their minds to it.

ZZ, HANG IN THERE GIRL!! You can do this. I think we all go through these "weird" times with food and then we snap out of it and are back on track again, thats the beauty of the band...we can get back on track with out much damage....think of how far behind you would be right now falling off "another" diet before the band..... You can do this!!!! Rant, rave, talk to us!!! Don't hide and not discuss, even if you just write how you feel down, it helps and then you can look back and see what you were doing that helped and what didn't help.....We need to be here for each other, I know I love knowing I can come here and have someone who understands totally what I am talking about. I think the first thing you need to do is get back to the gym. I know you know this, but it is such a great mood enhancer, and then that will help with the eating. I truly believe that, when I am exercising, I eat better than if I don't. I like the plan you have made about the fruits and veggies. I love fruits and veggies now, I just hate how expensive they are and how cheap junk food is....Chin up girl, you will prevail, and maybe you need to cut your goal up in chunks...work on 10 pounds at a time, it doesn't seem so overwhelming then. Hugs......Deanna

ZZ, is the gain a fill issue or bad eating?? Let us know what we can do for you...we can cheer you on. 15 is not that much and it will come off easily. Really, let us know. Are you still riding? Doing any exercise? That might be where you want to start first....if your not doing it now, but don't give up!!!! You did this for you and you can do it!!!! HP, did you get any riding in over the weekend? I got 31 miles in tonight, I am changing my ticker now...

Very ick....

Hey who's, does your wife get jealous of the attention you get from women? Just wondering if it happens the other way around. I must say you were very handsome heavy, so you probably got plenty of attention from the opposite sex before, but you must be getting trampled over now!!!! Does your wife do exercise things with you or is that just your thing? And one more, is your wife heavy or is she normal weight....just wondering how all of this affects the men when they get banded...

Yeah, really weird about her... Whos, DUH, brain fart on my part.....do you road bike then? Or do you use a mountain bike....I suppose a road bike. So, THAT IS WHAT A PB IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the freak.....I don't feel like I have been missing out and don't want to do it again, although felt better much sooner than if just sliming.... Where is ZZ at???? Is she still here, just not posting???

I am so sorry you feel this way, but it will end. PROMISE!! I cried the entire time drive home from hospital after surgery...and now I cry when I do something that I haven't done in a long long time due to being too fat. You will feel better about, hang in there!!

Hey whos, have you tried biking??? YOu would rock it.
