Boo Boo Kitty

Josette-- I am so sorry I did not see this sooner to congratulate you on your day first. I am so proud of you and how far you have come! You are totally rocking your band, which is GREAT girl! So when are we getting together??? lol...

yummie--do not beat yourself up, we all fall off the wagon sometimes! Just get back up and get back on it, that is what really counts! You will be hungry until you find your sweetspot with fills, you need to learn to eat better things to control it. Make sure you start the day out with protien it will help, trust me. You can do this, we all go through rough spots! Cheer up! Good luck!

OMG, to me Danielle is ugly as hell. DO you really think she gets by on her looks??? She looks to me like a victim in a concentration camp. (ANd I am not trying to be funny with that.) Dick is beyond a dick. wow, he is scary. I would not want to meet up with him on the street, that is for sure. Amber--the cry baby makes me want to kill myself. Jameka is faker than Britteny Spears in a white wedding dress. You have Zach pinned exactly, because I really don't think anyone could fake being that stupid! Jessica is pure evil...

Oh green, I know I love you! I just got a bit defensive as a preamble I guess. You of all people are the least judging and most honest people in my opinion. You always tell it like it is, and never are dirty!

AND before you all start bombing me, please understand you do not know me or my situation. I am in a relationship of abuse and pain, I did not cheat to get laid or have sex. Please do not attack me.

Lol...for the record I did just post. BUT what does it matter our reasons? Everyone is different, and we will all say different things. You can say that you will never cheat, but you never truly know until you get into the situation. I understand morals and committment, but sometimes other things are factors.

WOW! I am so sorry for all of your trouble. I have been there pre banded actually many times with the same man. (yes, I took him back and hate me for it) 80% is the divorce rate for us??? The cards are starting to stack against me. But it would be a needed reprieve. Just make sure you are doing what is best for you, that is all that matters is you and your kids. Screw him right now, it should be all about you! One of the girls my h cheated with claimed to be pregnant, she wasn't. They do cry wolf.

Awwww....sweetie I am so incredibly sorry! I really hope things look up for you. We all have those days, I have been there. Just hold on tight it will get better! BIG BIG HUGS!

Hola Claud--yo es muy bien, gracias! (lol...did I say that right?) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU VA!!!!!!!!!! YEAH~~ I have been alone all week, and loving it! lol, no man under my feet. Makes me think.... I am going out tonight with my girls! I can not wait! Yeah, it has been YEARS since I have been to the bar with friends. Yeah!

I am so glad that I am not the only one who doesn't know who they are! I still try to shop in the plus section, what am I thinking?? I still see 300 plus when I look in the mirror, and I hate it. I am constantly tearing myself down and I am so scared I will never look better if I realize I am a skinnier girl. I feel like I am never going to be happy with me. I do have good days, but almost everyday I pick up my clothes and say "that won't fit" but guess what the size 12s do. I don't know why I always think fat....blah!

LOL I do that too!

Wow Fred, I am glad you have such a great relationship! I have to say your words are stinging in my ears. I agree with you and hope someday I can find the courage to make my life better, I am not strong enough yet.

Char something to remember is every Dr is different as well as every person. My Dr prefers more aggresive fills, and will do .50 ccs with every fill, but my body can not take that. So I have had 8 fills within the last year, but it was because my body needed me to build on the fills. I could have just done the .50 ccs and been miserable. Some Drs do only fill .10ccs at a time, depends on the Dr. Ask them what they do normally and you will know more. It can take awhile to find your sweet spot, and I think anyone that has been banded for awhile it takes some time. Good luck!

Hi vdebv, Welcome to the board. I was banded last year at Hurley. Good luck with your surgery!

lol....I had the biggest butt ever, now it is a cute one! I have gotten a compliment or two on it lately! lol... BUT I did get hit on more with the BIG BUTT....go figure!

Steph--I would rather they were told there was no santa rather than about sex! lol... BUT I think I did a good job, I did not go into details, I said it is something grown ups do. I asked if they had questions, Faith asked why people are naked when they have sex. I told her it was just part it. It is just frustating to have that talk at 6 and 8.... I have almost a monthly conversation with them how no one should touch or try to look at their private parts. They are very schooled on that as I was raped very young. I want them to know it is ok to do whatever they need to in that situation. Makes me feel good that Brooke is a blue belt in Tae Kwon Do! She can kick butt!! Sweet--YEAH! Good for you!!! WOO HOOO!!!!

lol...Steph. Brooke also had ADD, ADHD, OCD, and ODD. We also have her in Tae Kwon Do. She is fun in the start of the school year...blah... We sent her to camp this year, but she came homw with knowledge of SEX, so I don't think we will send her again.... lol..

Thanks guys, I am feeling a bit better. She is starting to come out of her funk. I just hate feeling helpless with her, it is the scary thing ever when you can not help them. Kuebel--mine always loosens up a bit. For me it is almost a week and then I am able to eat regular again. Good luck with that! Just take foods slow again.

Kuebel--so sorry about all of the trouble! I am so glad though that your Dr is supportive of you! It really does make a difference. I find myself scared to see my surgeon most of the time because I have heard him yell at others, so I never want to dissappoint him. I am hating myself right now. I am on steriods right now and eating like a freaking pig. I want to shoot myself. I just started these damn pills and I have 5 days to go. This is why I fought them, I do not need to eat like this. I can not stop it. I feel ravenous. I hate me...or my body for needing them. I am feeling like a failure as a mother lately as well. Brooke has been very depressed and it is killing me. (She is Bi Polar) There is nothing I can do for her, I try so hard to make her happy and she just cries all of the time. She even said she wants to die. Of course the therapist has talked to her, but I don't think we can get to her. She is 8 years old, 8 years old. :tea: Where is our banded mama?? I haven't seen her in a few days.

Yeah, but it sounds like the fish is bad, you don't need that! I am sorry though he turned out to be a jerk. But remember everything happens for a reason! EVERYTHING, even a**hole men. Big hugs to you sweetie.

Steph--I hope you DH is doing well. What a horrible shock and so sad, I will kep his family in my thoughts. Kay--We all go through it sometimes, don't worry hun! You did the right thing and got yourself back on track. Bk--good luck with your fill! :tea: Well, I am off for a nap. All this trying to feel better is exausting, lol..

Oh my girls could care less about the toy, lol. They are all about the online life they live out with those things.

I am too, and it really isn't bad at all. You can see it or feel it when stretching or something like that. It is not always there looking at you!

Are you doing any better yet with the restriction?
