Recommended Posts

ROFLMAO! Since she put it in "" quotes and since the rest of her post was pretty nice....but I did make that connection and it made me laugh! :thumbdown:

I've been called many things but never a tool...yet! :biggrin:

There's always time, though! :crying:

luluc I'm not shocked you have crazed friends LOL :thumbdown: :biggrin:

hey now!!! - HA!!

honestly - this banding is one of the very few things i have taken seriously. i'm told i'm very lax, which is why i'm less concerned with how someone loses weight here, what plan their on - rather that they get the desired results.

Personally I think it's just food, not murder, not pedophilia, not stealing. I don't think of food as being a sin. I think that all ties in with the "fat people are lazy and dumb and have character flaws" mentality. it's just food. I'm past having to feel guilty if I eat a cookie. Because I have the lap band and my "relationship" with food is different. I don't count or weigh or fret. I'm just eating normally and I'm fine. My thin friends don't say "OH I SINNED yesterday". Don't mean to be pompous, but I think that for many of us, food is too darned important. This just adds to it. It's fuel. It's not a moral dilemma. Ok off my soap box and on to my first 16 oz of Water today.

I get what your saying and you are right but sometimes you just have to vent and get things off of you chest. I know you said that you are now past feeling guilty which is great i can't wait to get to the point that I don't feel guilty but some of us just take longer to get to that point. We didn't get fat overnight we arn't going to break all of our emotional habbits overnight. Oh and i do have thin friends that are like "OH my god i eat one twizzler today i could just die" LOL. Thanks for your post i alway love to read everyones take on things

I will be banded 7/24, went to the dr today for last appt and instructions pre-op. Lost 12lbs and I was thrilled! So for a reward went to Panera's for an apple, chicken salad. Good right? Then to reward myself some more I had a mini bundt upsidedown pineapple cake. It was 4pm needless to say that around 9pm I was hungry again so I had a cucumber sandwich. Yep I was a bad girl....tomorrow will be a day of just Protein Shakes.

I eat dessert once or twice a week. Reese's Peanut Butter cups, ice cream, apple strudel, whatever. I'll have a few drinks once a week or so too.

Life's too short to not enjoy yourself occasionally. If my weight loss is slower than it otherwise would been then that's fine. Still losing, still feeling great.

This is not a diet, this is me for the rest of my life. I have no intention or desire to not enjoy myself.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
