Forgive Me Lap Band Goddess



Recommended Posts

Don't beat yourself up over a moment of weakness. It happens! Just start back on the right track and eat only what you are suppose to eat. When I give into my weaknesses I exercise longer to work it off.

Have a great day!

we got the bunny when he was only 2 weeks old...he was use to being out of his cage and handled....i gave him an apple slice and he would sit on the kitchen floor and eat the whole slice...i went to the gym last night and didnt take my nikes off...i told my son to let bunz out and gave him a slice of apple...i was watching him eat it and packing my son's lunch at the same time...he decided not to finish his apple slice last night and hopped right under my foot...i stepped on his neck...broke it and he died...my son and i are devasted...we rescued him...he was very ill and too young to b away from his mother...we nursed him back to health and watched him transform in2 a very happy...active....healthy bunny. we both stayed up crying all night...my son referred to his bunny as his brother....since he is an only child....we r going to adopt 2 bunnies 2night hopefully they will have the same personality as our lil bunz....

Sorry to hear about the bunny -- Justmake sure that you do not adopt a male & female or your entire garage will turn into a bunny hutch...It is hard to lose a fur baby.

I was banded Oct 15.. Still not exercising .. Cannot even walk since there is so much rain every day - day & night. I need a boat to cross my back yards.. The neighborhood kids will have to use jet skis and zodiacs for trick or treating .

I also have 2bad knees, 1 replaced - not so good ,, the other one is SHOT and I cannot get in the pool until after 5 weeks.So this is difficult for me .

Don't beat yourself up over a moment of weakness. It happens! Just start back on the right track and eat only what you are suppose to eat. When I give into my weaknesses I exercise longer to work it off.

Have a great day!

Much worse things that you COULD have eaten. As others have said, don't beat yourself about it. Use it as a learning experience. Was the guilt worth it? Probably not or you would not have posted about it. Does the LB Goddess forgive? I think so. She loves all her children.

The Lap Band Goddess needs to forgive me too, LOL. My adult granddaughter lives with me. I'd bought Halloween candy for Saturday but I had NOT opened the bags as I planned to do that just before the kids starting showing up. Well, my granddaughter opened ALL THE BAGS and dumped all the candy in a huge basket and put it on the piano. I stood right there and ate 4 fun size Milky Ways. realized what I'd done and took that basket of candy into her room and DEMANDED to know why she opened all the candy. Her excuse...it "looks nicer in the basket". So I had to explain to her that once the bags were opened the candy was fair game, too easy to snag a piece. Then I told her she had to keep all that candy in her room where I couldn't see it.

She weights like 120 pounds and I know she doesn't understand the concept of closed bags = unavailable. Geez, I was kind of mad at her at first but like I said she doesn't understand. Guess I'll just have to be mad at me, LOL

well you know it would be silly to think that the band magically makes us not want to eat something bad! I look at it this way....if you dont allow yourself to do it every now and then you might have an attack and just binge so dont worry about 1 little ounce! It'll be okay so long as you are aware that you are doing it!

I guess I just don't see one ounce of cream cheese as bad. It is low in carbs and is actually a staple in my daily routine. I eat cheese balls and flatbread crackers multiple times each week. Well, I don't eat the whole cheese ball in one sitting but you get the idea.

You have to have some things you like in your diet or you will burn out. I have never restricted what I ate. I let my band do that. If my band says it has had enough then enough is enough. I just don't sit around eating all the time. THAT would be bad.

Personally, the LapBand Goddess would have nothing to forgive other than that you did not share with her! :thumbup:

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
