Just for fun - misconceptions?



Recommended Posts

My mom's friend (75 yr old) thought that the band was on the outside and I could tighten it like a belt.

Another misconception is about the term being "banded" among those who raise goats, means the tying of a male goats' testicles tightly so that they turn black and fall off (a form of neutering).

Haha

Isn't there a string that hangs out in your Lab and you pull it to make it tighter so you dont over eat ?

Then you loosen it when you want to eat more right ?

All I could think of is a doll I had when I was a kid , you pull the string tighter and her hair tightened inside her head and when it was loosened her hair grew LOL

Yah its funny how people think. My least favorite comment is the one from a couple of friends ( so called friends ) said that No way would they do such a risky thing , a cowards way out . They could loose weight if tehy really wanted to. I felt like saying " Well obviously you dont really want to " haha

Sometimes you learn who your true friends are when you go throught things like this. Those two friends dont know I have the band I mentioned it to them before . I am working so hard to exercise and be sucessful I just figure they dont need to know I will make their chin drop and they can think that I did it with no band . So there ! haha

      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! 😞
