Ugh, I hate that. Aside from the fact that it's not easy (it's not like it's liposuction!), it almost comes across to me as "you don't deserve easy" when I hear about people saying it. Yeah. Cuz growing up fat was easy. Continually losing weight on diets and gaining it back was easy. Feeling huge and having to fear waking up in the morning and not being able to fit in your pants is easy. God forbid someone would do something that might make weight loss and a healthier lifestyle a little easier for them.

I would say "yup, I did take the easy way" and then give one of those sinester laughs while walking away... Hehe, or you could ask her why she prefers the hard way? see what she says then

Well, it has by no means been the easiest diet i've been on but it has definately been the most successful!

We use tools every day to make out life easier. Cars, dishwashers, vacuume cleaners, computers and cell phones, in my opinion the lap band is no different and people who think it is the "easy way" are too ignorant on the subject for me to even care about!

When they create a band that blocks my desire for chocolate chip Cookies then I'll say it's easy way....as you all said this is hard.it's not liposuction and you can fail your band.it's risky but worth it !:-)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
