Boo Boo Kitty

I agree with Jack, that you need help on the outside for this. He will not change unless he wants to, you can not make him change. I am married to a precription drug addict, so I know what you are thinking. You think about the nice guy that he is most of the time, but get over it. Saying things like "He's not a junkie" is just making excuses for him. Make your plan, break away and let him get the help he needs. Somtimes leaving is the only way......

Welcome, I thought about doing the one last try thing, but really REALLY what is the point? It will end up just like all the rest and I will be pissed off and hate me, so I just went ahead with the band! Best thing that I ever did!

Hi Lainee Welcome to LBT! I was banded a year ago and have been doing great! I am sure you will find lots of support here, as I have! Enjoy the new life soon.

Welcome Crash! I hope you have a great surgery in Mexico, as I am sure you will! Welcome to bandland, I hope you enjoy it here as well. Thanks for coming out and delurking for us....the more the merrier! :clap2:

lol....Laura! Since I am married, I would have to say no, but I have met many great great friends! BUt why not??

I have 3.75 right now, and have for 3 or 4 months now. Somedays it is a bit tight, but most it it great. I love being over 3.0, I really needed it!

Chinokitty, let this fellow kitty be the first to congratulate you! You will see that alot of times the scale won't move but the clothes will still fall off! :party: Great job and keep up the great work!

Sweetie-- Welcome to bandland! This is just how your band will be! One day you can eat something just fine, and then tommorow you will try to have it for left overs and it will be a no go. It is part of the band, and it still happens to me after more than a year now. Wouldn't trade it for anything, keeps things interesting after all!! lol...

First let me congratulate you and be happy for you as well! Am I happy today??? Hell yeah. Looked in the mirror today and saw a skinny girl smiling at me, hey wait it was me! Anyday bad, skinny is better than a good day fat....lol....

annie--- woo Hoo You Freaking Rock!!! I love the pics! You look great!

It will get easier...it will get easier...it WILL get easier! Good luck, we are all here if you need us!

Janice If that is your goal you can accomplish it! I am over a year now and NOTHING I do mean, NOTHING goes into my mouth without forethought and deciding if it is a good choice. And people expect WLS surgery to be like magic, they don't think about the fact it has to come off the same way it went on, 1 pound at a a time! Silly people...

MAN---hopes dashed again....what to do, what to do????

**Ears perking up now** lol...I am listening now that is for sure!

Ya, there we go again with another issue. MY DD allergic to latex so what do I do for her? And now you talk of toxic pee...lol.... I think we should all run away and becoem mermaids under the ocean, eat only kelp and drink only purfied pixie Water that we find across the shores....becaue anything made by a pixie is SAFE right?? It has to be it's magic.....much like that book maybe??

Ok girls, I feel left out...lol.... I have no idea what this gorup is where you get to see Miss Hottie's pictures! lol... What yahoo group is it? I am feeling a bit better than yesterday. I am still feeling really run down though. I called for a slight unfill I have one schedualed for tommorow and wouldn't you guess it that I am feeling better and questioing it? UGH...I hate that completely....ugh.... Claud--congrats girl, and definatetly take those compliments with grace, you deserve them!

Brandi and VAB--my sick sisters what the hell were we thinking???lol...I am dying. I am doing the yougurt tonight. I HATE antibiotics. UGH..but I am feeling better so I will take them. My Faith--I just love you! lol... He I could be the test run for you, if he is good which I assume he is you can go to him too. I just want to make sure I ask all the important questions and understand, and I am so nervous I may not know! lol... First one what is the difference between just a skin removal and a tummy tuck?? My insurance is telling me that they only pay for skin removal...ugh... Also skin causing a problem is it limited to just my tummy? What about the crap in between my thighs??? I need to ask.

And I didn't get your pm...waaaaahhhhh....

Thanks Faith-- I certainly don't want to make you go, lol....BUT I am scared to go alone, I am afraid I will miss something or miss hear things....lol... maybe I should be a big girl and go alone. BLAH...

You will be at Domino Farms? Man, I love you offering to go with me and seeing all that jelly belly....rotfl.... I love you man...

It would freaking ROCK!

Amen Kat!! That is the truth, what would be the point? TO live in a bubble?

Ah, the belt, the BIGGEST mark of being thin!! I never even had a belt until recent, you just don't need them at size 30! :Banane20:

Thanks Ghost! I am planning on getting my tt and breast lift in December, so I am not sure I will be able to do it. I should look on the thread though and think about it! :Banane20:

YOuU CAN DO THIS, you can do this! Think of yourself skinny, healthy and beyond happy! Think of never having to wonder if those jeans will fit, if it comes big enough for you or if you embarassed yourself by eating too much. Think of all the times you cried because you are overweight, think about whatever the reason is that you want to be banded and live it, breathe it! YOU deserve more. And as all things, this too shall pass. You can do it, we get through it. It sucks, but in the end it doesn't matter, it is well worth any price we pay!
