I understand what your going through. I am also 3 weeks post op. I have over ate a couple times. I'm eating the right foods I'm just eating to much of it. I have noticed that I'm eating to fast, of course I don't notice it until I'm done eating, lol. Am I causing damage? Am I stretching my pouch? Is the band gona work for me or am I screwing it up? Bright side I get my first fill nxt week. I hope the band starts helping me more. Good luck and hang in there!! -
Can the new pouch created be stretched and allow for over eating?

I'm freaking out little bit. I am 21 days post op and I am mostly back to eating normal foods. I try to stay with soft moist foods. I am having a problem with slowing down. I east way to fast and with no restriction yet a cup of food doesn't cut it. A few times, like today, I know I over ate. I'm stuffed, miserable, and scarred. Am I screwing up totally? Am I stretching my pouch or causing damage I don't know about? Is the band gona work for me? -
Smoking??? Any Smokers out there???

My doctor said to quit because I should. He said it does not do anything to the band. There are no additional side effects when smoking after you have been banded. Its my choice. -
Hey there SamC!! Thankyou for sending me a friend request! how are you going?? When are you being banded?? xx

Do you believe in a god or gods?

I do not fell threatened by that. I do not disagree with you or Christians. I am still finding my way. I did not attend Sunday School so I didn't learn many conventional lessons. I did not grow up in a conventional family. For me to expand my spirituality I should also be willing to learn and also be open to Christianity. I have talked to many Christians and i have been to many different kinds of churches. Some people are more passioniate about things than others. You seem pretty passioniate about the subject too. I admire these qualities in people. I admit there are people out there that take things to the extreme. Most Christians aren't forcing God down our throats they are being passioniate about their faith. I just don't understand how anybody can be threatened by that. -
oh i can imagine you are! only 7 days away, i wish u the best of luck, don't forget about keeping us up to date afterwards.

I see a problem here. You are claiming people, like patty, are telling us what to believe to confirm whether we are good or bad people. Is it different or ok for you to tell us what not to believe? You claim these people are close minded to what out there or your beliefs. Aren't you being close minded to theirs? I don't mean to offend and I'm sorry if do. I see people, like patty, sharing what they believe, sharing what they have learned from the bible (their interpatation) and their experiences. They are not forcing it me. I make my own choices. I have my own voice. They are not judging whether we are good are bad. Seems to me that others, like you, may be closed minded to the possibility that people, like patty, might be right.
