let me say that this forum is a godsend to me
there is another forum that chewed my happy (never never land) butt up and spit it out.. why? how come? because i had the nerve to say i was getting banded...
someone referenced snide remarks to the newbies or prebies let me say....far be it from me to judge ANYONE. and if anyone thinks i have or am.....my apologies here and now.
i am one of the big bmi's. yepper...the biguns you all read about. and id kill to have only to lose what some do (the lower bmi's). this does not
give me the right to cast judgement or be a ass to them.
i do however say, if i feel they are not following their dr's instructions (or suggestions) that they should be. you damn right. why go through all of this to just (eat some pie a few days out and say it was soft so what is the big difference)
take care of your body
take care of your body
eat good foods
no food is off limits but sometimes some foods just not need to ate eating those foods in the past made us need WLS
so eat what you want but dont blame the band and say its not working ...i have to hold myself accountable to me and my dr ONLY
sure i can come here and say i eat lettuce only...
are you serious?...i have lap band surgery, apparently i had trouble eating in my history.
i promised myself to be open (100%) and honest in all that i have/encounter with this band/plication new life journey. that includes TMI info at times and the good and the bad.......
this forum has some good/great people
i am honored to know them and encourage them and have them help/support me.
i will always help anyone
i will never say told you so or see what you done.....
i will however be firm in saying you need to follow the rules:
eat right
eat healthy choices
exercise (do what you can with what you have)
make no excuses
follow your dr's orders (follows ups)
if something is not right---call the dr dammit
(hate seeing posts that say should i call dr).....if you are thinking it, then you should..
well, please note i respect and adore any and all who have had this surgery
please do what you need to do to get well
if you keep doing what you always done (and needed surgery because you are fat/obese) then you will remain just that.
and that goes for me too.
