I agree w/ the I was "safe" before part for sure. My dh is a big time foodie too & we were eating buddies as well. He does not have a weight problem either. This is how I put most of the weight on (us being pigs togther). When I told him I was thinking of getting the band he was upset because he thought i wouldn't be able to drink alcohol or eat at cookouts anymore. Weird! I can do both of these things still.

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Didn't you reach your goal recently? I'm sure he wants you now!

I hear what your saying but I was not heavy when we first started dating either. I gained the weight over the years. YES, they can be such children! Thanks for the input everyone.

So, I had my surgery 9-25-08 & I have lost about 35 lbs & people are starting to really notice when we go out. We don't go out a lot but the last time my DH & I went out togther he acted very jealous (sp?) I can't stand it!!! He NEVER acts like this! Well, he did when he was 18 yrs old but not at 28!! This is something I can not deal w/. I know I'm going to lose more weight & my confidence will get even better & he is going to have a BIG problem w/ that. We have been married for 9 yrs together for 12 & I we have 3 small children together. We don't have the best relationship & he know's this. So, I think he's feeling threatened that a may leave eventually. I don't know what to do. I told him I will not put up w/ this! Please help. Thanks!

Hey everyone! So, I haven't done that great since my last visit w/ doc V. I don't think I've lost much. I could be doing better w/ my eating. I can't eat just about anything now but hunger is not out of control yet. I think I could use a small fill soon. I go on feb 23rd. I haven't needed a fill since dec 22! I am still not exercising yet. I know I need to but I have to just start! I want to get a gym membership for my bday this month. Then it's finding the time to go w/ 3 little ones.

So Jay are you still on for the 12th???

I guess you should ask your doctor. It seems everyone is different.

I always eat something right before mine at the hospitol because I know I won't be able to eat good again for awhile. Yes, you can. GOOD LUCK!

PS~ I've done the biggest loser on demand tv before & it's a work out!!!

Hey Tiny! I don't have one of those near me but I like the walk away the ponds too~! Hopw you get some good deals!

I eat cheese. I am at a point where I can pretty much eat anything & still have restriction. I just eat slow. Good luck!!!!

ALRIGHT!!!! WTG! I'm so happy for you! I can't wait to get out of plus sizes! Almost!! YAAAAAAy! for you!!!

WTG!!!! You should be sooo proud!!!

Hi! Congrats on your upcoming banding!!! I only told people really close to me untill after banding. My mom was the one who told me about the band. Everyone has been very supportive. :present: The surgery is going to be a good thing for you. Good luck! :cheers2:

Well, you should have no say in this because you are NOT a women. You can vote anyway you like it really doesn't matter because as of now we can do what is right for us as women. :bananalama:

PM ing you

I was about 38

Hi there! Congrats!!! I LOVE MY BAND!! I was banded about 4 months ago & have NEVER had any slimming ect.. So you may not. Hope I will never!

Hi there!!! Good luck!! I LOVE my band!! If you need anything just ask the people here are great!!!

Hi Caffy! I too am a emotional eater FOR SURE! I mean..REALLY... who isn't an emotional eater???? There's got to be some kind of feeling in a person that will make them eat till they feel sick or whatever your case. Just my opinion. I got my band 9-25-08 & it was the best thing I have EVER done!!!! I have lost 33 lbs so far! So, don't feel like the band will not work for you. The band is only a tool. You will need willpower as well. It is not going to happen on it's own. I went for the band because the other ws to invasive for me too. If you need anything we are all here to help you. You can PM me if you need to. GOOD LUCK!!!!

i agree w/ move move move. Move the gas around that's trapped in you. I still have shoulder pain sometimes. I think it's gas. 4 months post op

Yes I agree w/ Lauren. My body healed so fast too! I was up & walking around hours after surgery. No prob!!! Weightloss a bit slower for me. 33 lbs since 9-25-08 BUT I am HAPPY w/ it! Go for IT!!!! PS-thanks for the nice photo comment! ~Heidi~

Hey there! Getting my band was the best thing I could of ever done. I'm 31 years old & wis I could of done it sooner! Your young & should do it now. We all go through the what if's but the chances of anything are sooo small. DO IT!!! You'll NEVER regret your band. ~Heidi~

Yes, I agree. We'll have to see how I look & feel at goal. I still have a good 50-55 lbs to go.

OH MAN!! That sucks! Your aloud to whine in this case! :tongue: Hang in there! The diet stinks but you'll make it through. :cursing:
