80's Trivia
Missy, we all know of GLOBAL WARMING, it is my contention that big Auquanet hair contributes to this problem with damaging the air when you spray. Also, my hair has just recovered from the 80's, I can't put it through that again!

when are you "skinny"
I agree. I am no longer fat and now scared shitless. But I don't think pictures work for me. I think you have to go by how you feel. Those too skinny comments tick me off!!:blushing:

Has anyone had Cancer Treatment after banding?
Hi Lady, I am so sorry to hear about this! I had pre cancer cells last year in my breast. Thank God we caught them early enough but I did get a biopsy and targeted radiation on the area. It was on my left breast, so above my band. They did take out my fill for the treatment because I did feel too tight. The radiation itself did not hurt my band from what we know. I was lucky to not need chemotherapy, but as I said they were pre cancer and the radiation was a proactive choice by my onocolgist. I was on the nasua patch during treatment as well as strong pills for vomitting. That was the big concern. I felt weak, but not too bad. Best wishes to you, my thoughts are with you!

Who are you after the weight is gone?
Ok, first a disclaimer, I am NOT by any means a country fan! I hate it, but I heard this song today and balled my eyes out. I feel like it was written for me, for all of us! I have listened to it, 10+times in a row in the last hour. It is going to be my mantra.... It is by Jewel and called "Stronger Woman"....here is just some of it, but really check it out! I’m gonna love myself More than anyone else Believe in me Even if someone can’t see The stronger woman in me I’m gonna be my own best friend Stick with me till the end Won’t lose myself again never, no Cause theres a stronger woman a stronger woman in me light bulbs buzz I get up and head to my drawer wish there was more I could say another fairy tale fades to grey I’ve lived on hope Just like a child walking that mile faking that smile all the while wishing my heart had wings well tonight I am gonna be The kind of woman I want my daughter to be I think this last line gets me the most, I want to be the woman I want both of my girls to be, and confused and full of self hate is NOT it!

Who are you after the weight is gone?
Thanks to everyone for responding, everyone has something great to say! :blushing: Wheestin--I was a model when I was young, I was beyond thin. I was 13, 6 foot tall and about 100 pounds wet. I stayed that way until I got on fertility drugs and pregnant. BUT I also think I was too young to know who I was before then, I got pregnant at 23. Too young to know who you are I think! I have spent a lot of time trying to think about who I am in NON physical terms. Because for me once I say "pretty" "thin" "nice hair" or anything like that I jump to "formerly fat". I don't want to be that girl anymore. I want to feel confident in the room and not preclude conversations about myself with "remember I was fat" or "You didn't know me fat". I think I am constantly putting myself, mo wonder I am so messed up. I feel like I can't make myself happy......

I hate it when people post just to post.....
If *I* could really believe it is or is going to stay that way I'd be ok....I guess I am getting OCD or something... BUT THANKS!

Kareyquilts TT, BL, Lipo & BA
Karey I haven't even had my PS yet, and I have made mental notes of all the other things that will still be wrong after it. I worry about my arms, my thighs, my saggy neck, (you may not see it, but I do) and all some little line that has decided to make camp on my forehead. You are not alone. I think maybe it is a bit obesessive on my part, but I feel like I did all the hard work to loose the weight, why don't I deserve to be 100% happy with me??

People who don't know I've been banded think I have an eating disorder!
At first I told no one, and actually got a ton of the "eating disorder" questions, it was quite ridiculas. I didn't tell anyone because I was ashamed. But now I tell anyone who asks. Mostly because I got sick of the eating disorder comments, or others trying to force me to eat. I will say it is completely screwed up, before people tell you that you eat too much, now I eat too little, what do they want? I think telling is always a personal choice. I feel I was forced into it, and now when I tell people I start out with "I used to be 320 pounds." That is a really screwed up way to talk about yourself. Maybe not telling and making people mind their own damn business is the way to go!

I've messed up big time, will I still have surgery
The Doctors don't expect you to loose that amount of weight on your own and keep it off most of the time. I mean, seriously if you could you wouldn't need them or the surgery! And weight can be Water, and other things. It can fall off as fast as it got there. I wasn't weighed the day of surgery, but every Dr is different. I wouldn't go in confessing any sins, if they weigh you then explain. Otherwise don't say anything. I honestly think if they have an OR booked, they won't take you off for 10 pounds, again this is WLS, not brain surgery. Good luck and keep us updated!

Yikes, in July changing insurance companies!
As they should know! Thanks.

Hi, fellow thirty-somethings =)
Let's figure it out together then....lol....but as far as playing with the kids I was doing cartwheels (awful fall over ones) with my girls yesterday, I can say honestly I have never done that before and they loved it. It gets better with every pound you loose. Someday you will get to the top of the stairs with no heavy breathing and wonder "hey when did that happen?" Trust me!

I hate it when people post just to post.....
