Hi,

Excuse me is this the LAP BAND PRACTITIONER’S UNIVERSITY ?

I am lost and cannot find my class…Lap Band practice 101.

Well I have not been here in a while; I came back because I was feeling blue.:cry :cry

Yesterday a friend told me that a group of “Friends” went out to eat together and had a conversation in my honor:tired

“Sure, she lost a lot of weight, but she took the easy way, she got that band crap” “Like that anybody can do it, how come she didn’t diet and exercised like everyone else” ”She is just f… lazy!!! (The biotch who said this is a size 16)

What the @##&*^&%$^%$ !!!!! Damn if you are fat, you are a pig and if you lose weight, you are a lazy biotch that took the easy road.

Like having the band doen’t take discipline and exercising!!! Oh I’m soooo angry!!!:o

We aren't the only ones who found her distasteful. I remember that she "moderated" my surgeons board "at his request"...

Right about the time she told me I needed to schedule a flight because I had a leak, I gave up on my surgeons support board.

Well! THAT sure was an INTERESTING LINK! :omg:

All I can say is "Wow". There are a lot of people out there very frustrated. And rightfully so.

That would require a recognition of flawed behavior.
Unfortunately, I've run into many people like that. Everything that happens to them and every time they get punished for something, it is always someone else's fault. They can't take responsibility for their own actions, and they seem to not be able to associate their own behavior with what's happening to them.

Hey I was proud of myself when I got to be a 16 (used to be a 20).

Why is it that sometimes as women we cannot support other women? I cannot imagine a group of guys saying. Hey Jhonny looks good, for sure he is wearing some spandex under his slacks. Or for sure he got a pecks lift or some %$^%$ like that .....

Because our society has basically forced us to become bitches and compete with each other. That's why we wear make-up, high heels, jewelry, etc. We've been programmed to believe that we, as the female of the species, must be attractive to males at all times, and that we are in direct competition with other females. What I would give for us to be like many animal species, where the male has to do all the work of attracting a mate and competing with other males.

When I was thin I enjoyed looking good. I loved the spiked heels, hose with the seam up the back, black dress... the works. Even if I was programmed that way, I still enjoyed it. It wasn't to attract males, I have one. I just enjoyed looking good in that little itty bitty black dress.

Laurend: You are right!!!

Maybe is not society the one imposing certain standards on us, maybe is us as women. We feel that we have to impress other women, not exactly our own man or other man, but OTHER women.

I have three brothers. My brother was saying: Where you girls see a big butt, we see beautiful curves. Where you see a "fat" girl we see a voluptuous woman."You girls think that you know exactly what man like, and the reality is that is you women the ones that are so freaking hard on each other".

So are we bad to each other or what?? I have tons of acquintances but only one best friend. Growing up my best friend was a guy.

I've never been thin, so I've always thought it was more work and downright pain (in the case of heels) than it was worth.

Oh, there was a time when I did fall off my shoes. :) But I still like looking good. I want to go back to that, and I will. 45 more pounds and I'm there! Well, I'll be close anyway. That's the goal I think will get me there.

I'm tired of seeing my reflection and thinking, "Big fat cow." I want to be proud of myself again.

It isn't for anyone else, it's for me.

Perfect. We all should be "doing it for me". Really, it won't work any other way.

Good Luck!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
