I don;t share my loss with anyone anymore. I don't need them to say, WOW what real fat f**k, Arlene was. I most likely will never share those numbers.

Oh Arlene...I just burst out laughing at that remark. Thanks!

I always call myself a FF, fat f**k. It is the joke in the family. My sons were at a Fool Fighter's concert and saw a hoodie with FF on the front. The cheapies didn't buy it for me. I would have worn it. There is a Jewish saying, I don;t know how to spell it, that means, large, huge, that's big etc. like that. I was once shopping with my mother and she was following me and said where are we going and I said to the __ __ department. She loved it and no one knew what I was talking about. I have always made fun of myself with those sayings. The FF is all mine.

My boyfriend whom I have lived with since 1998 (I've know him since 1988) knows I go on this site. He doesn't care to participate in it at all. My doctor would love for him to be banded but he was against me having the surgery but I live my own life, he's used to me by now. Anyway, he knows I'm on this site, so it's no secret to him. I enjoy LBT very much!

no not zaftig. That is actually the name of 2 restaurants in the Boston area. Their logo is a zaftig woman. Very cute picture. The phrase is, spelling doesn't count, kenna hurry.

Nope. kina hurra? sp? is when you're bragging or boasting and want to make sure not to invoke the evil eye. I must have heard my Nana say that phrase a million times.

thank you for the spelling. I always say it about large people, me included.I know it is rude but I feel we have all done it one time or another. I always said it about the amount of food my 2 sons always ate. So that is what I called the women's department in stores. My mother told me that would make a great plus size clothing store's name.

My hubby of 34 years knows that I get on this site to gain knowledge from long time banders. I thank and appreciate every post and blog that helps keep me in check with reality. To do this alone would not be as rewarding as reading other peoples post or looking at the success pictures. I love this site!!! No, he does not get on this site but if he ever wanted to I would have no problem with it. He is fortunite to have never had weight issues. Thanks for everyone taking the time to help new banders, you all have helped me tremendously!!!

Hubby knows about this site, I too share some of my fav's with him. He is super glad I have this forum for support and has ZERO interest in coming on here.

Hubby did complain once... when I forgot to record the 1st LSU game of this season. ..... I know, horrible horrible mistake!!!! When he asked what distracted me, I was honest & said "was online reading what my peeps had to say on the LB forum"... lol

...... G. E. A. U. X. Tigers!!!!!!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
