Pooh sorry I missed all your messages. I haven't logged in since march. But listen, how are you working your band? I find that I am more comfortable eating what I want in smaller amounts than dieting like crazy. I lose weight slower than others with my band month but it's consistent and I amnot miserable. I sometimes want to keep eating even after I'm full but I just tell myself that I can finish it later if I want. What is making you want to overeat? One of the hardest things for me to do was accept that it was okay to waste food. Are you worried about wasting? Or are you trying to fill a void in your soul with food?

Hey Bobbie! YOU CAN DO IT and happy birthday! (Late, I know)

sorry guys. I have not been very good about blogging. Trying to get back on the blog horse now!

Dear Heavenly One, please allow Patty Green to open her heart to the infinite love that is God. May that love surround her and open her heart to the magic that is in the soul of another.

Im back! I was in canada for the holidays. Things are good with me...you?

Praying that God opens your heart to the peace and love that surrounds you.

God is sending you a message right now! Prayers abound.

I made this for you. Check it out! http://www.pryersforpatty.com

May God comfort you and show you the light during this tragic time in your life.

Sending you big hugs on your surgery day!

..just a quick hello letting you know that I am still praying for you and hope you get better soon!

@Harley I got 5 incisions. It's different for everyone but if your doc told you 4, that's probably right 2 more days for you!

Hey Harley! Just a few more days then! I have been in a little pain but no big deal. It is NOTHING like a c-section. Just feels tender and like you got kicked in the stomach. You'll be fine

Hope you are feeling okay! Welcome to Band Land

Oh and ya'll, subscribe to my blog! I update it every day

Hey Bobbie! Doing good 2 days post op and feeling fine. Ready for full liquids tomorrow though!

Harley, I am Bettylouhoo222 but I never log in to chat. You can find me here more often than there. I log on to LBT everytime I feel weak or want to eat something I shouldn't.

Tomorrow the big day?! I will be thinking of you!

Your pics are awesome! Thank you for inspiring.

You must be in Texas, if we have all the same restaurants!

Well, I let my Food MOnster have free reign tonight. I told him this was the last time and we shook on it. I ate and ate and ate. And now, I am done and I feel sick. Meanwhile, the best tasting protein bar I have ever had is SUPREME protein. They are awesome. I have to get some because I start my pre-op diet in the next couple of days. Just waiting for it to come in the mail. Supposedly low-fat veg. I was surprised by this since most people had low-carb, then liquids. But I guess my doc thought I was still a vegetarian since I had mentioned 13 past years of it. Anyway surgery scheduled for Nov 30th! Faster than I thought.

Hang in there! I'm eating a lot of foods I may never get to eat again--sodas (which I rarely drink anyway), breads, hamburger meat, etc. Sometimes when I eat, I practice chewing and eating slowly and/or use a small plate. Sometimes, I just gulp food down because I know I will never get the chance again. Your family will have plenty of time later to make you feel guilty. You do what you have to do for now.

Ah yes. The buffet. My husband wanted to go to one on Thursday. I said I would only eat sushi but ate a bunch of other stuff too. Then, his out-of-town relatives called last night for an unplanned dinner. Guess where? the same buffet! THis time, I wasn't going to eat at all. But when I smelled all that food, I couldn't help myself. The food is not even that good. BUffets=bad. Did you go to the seafood one? NO date set. I am having trouble finding a psychologist to do the type of testing TriCare requires. BUt I have done everything else.

thanks for the note on my page. I am doing great...had a light moment of second thoughts about the band this morning but they quickly passed. I think it was my food addiction talking. It said, "C'mon you don't need to do this. You can just go on a diet---a liquid diet! You're going to have to do it anyway!" and I said "STFU, food addiction. If I could do that and it would work, I wouldn't be fat right now." End of story. SO what has your Food Voice been saying to you lately?

Id like to see your pics...Im near Dallas too in Little Elm and getting banded...don't know when yet

Thanks for the add! You are beautiful and we are going to kick fat's ass together! MUah!
