I'm pretty sure my sunburn was caused by the band.... :thumbup:

Stupid band! If it weren't for it, I would have never gotten this paper cut on my pinky this morning.

Ouch it looks serious....I think you should sue the surgeon.:confused:

Way to go Canagirl!

O.K. all kidding aside, my eyelashes hurt. It must be the damn band. My eyelashes have NEVER hurt before. I'm calling my surgeon to schedule removal.

OMG I have a really horrible disorder. I am losing weight and can't figure out why! Is something wrong with me? Could it be my band? What did I have that surgery for anyway....hmmm....let me see...

WTG Patricia!

I have a new mole. It's the band...the band did it.

I strongly suspect the band caused my uni-brow.

OMG, my BMI has dropped to 30. I'm too skinny. I look like a skeleton!. My bum is huge but OMG, you can see a collarbone! Nooooo, that means I'm anorexic!

Seriously though, espeically with a Protein first diet,people's nutritions suffers a bit after banding and their immune function with it. You do need your 2 fruit and five veg a day and a varied diet, and its pretty stupid to fill your stomach up with starbucks coffees or even Protein Shakes every morning rather than say, fruit and wholegrains and then wonder why you keep getting colds. Bandsters really have to eat carefully to get good all round nutrition, there's more to that than just protein. And even the most careful eaters probably dont manage it that well.

I agree with Jachut 100% on this. We still need our fruits and vegetables in order to maintain a healthy, well-balanced diet. If you are eating a well-balanced diet, then you will naturally get in the protein your body needs, as well as everything else.

I'm pretty sure the band is responsible for these dark circles under my eyes. What else could it be...

Hehehe. This is fun!

LOL I would tend to think that the exact oposite would be true. Most of us didn't/don't eat a healthy balanced diet before looking into the band. So there are holes in our nutrition that would be filled by following good band eating rules. Therefore getting sick Less?

But again anone who is still obese knows how it is for everything wrong with us to be blamed on our weight even when it may not.

Bleh I think I broke my toe 2 days ago.(Stubed it bad enough the whole things dark purple, and hurts a bit)

Must be cause I want to be banded!! That's it. It's a conspiracy I tell you!!! It has to be!! :thumbup::tongue2::thumbup:

One of my hamsters bit my finger today.

Is it because I am going through the process to get banded!!??

I think so cause animals like hamsters never bite, they don't have big sharp teeth.

hahaha omg some people are annoying
