A thread for Single Bandsters
Dibaby replied to NewBeginnings2018's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well if nothing else Manatee its good entertainment! LOLLL Yeah I'm learning alot about dating. I'm also learning to say "no" to dates. That's a hard one for me. I really hate dissapointing people. Okay I'm leaving in 5 minutes for the date..gotta love the anticipation..:car: -
Spin class last night and it was evil! Made it expecially hard with turkey day coming...spin those turkey legs!!! LOL also 110 crunches before hand. I feel soooo much better! Scale went back down a bit but still not past where i should be to get 100 pounds..ugh. Anyways have a date in a half an hour..weeee..I'm soo excited Stayed up till like 12:30 am talking with him..bad me..LOLLL Thing is I'm not worried about meeting him at all..I'm more worried about what the hell I'm going to eat and will it stay down..ugh

Well I think this could happen with any surgery really. There are always risks but I think it's very very slim that this will happen to you.

Well I've had a few dates with some guys but nothing that made me get excited about them. All have been really nice guys. Just that either the communication was bad or just something about them bothered me. I have also learned that when they put "occasional" for smoking means they are indeed a smoker..lol. Anyways I have another date tomorrow for lunch. First date..hehe. I have high hopes of course..hehe. We seemed to communicate really well on the phone at least have talked for hours. Wish me well.. -
I have a full band yet can eat anything!!
Dibaby replied to Seaman's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
OMG Coffeewench!! I remember you from spotlight! Sorry to derail this thread but I was excited. Anyways listen to this girl..she' knows her stuff! -
Okay I've had plenty of surgeries. This did happen to me though during my band surgery. I mentioned it after and nobody knew what I was talking about of course. Okay I know I'm still on the operating table..the surgery is I think over. I don't feel any pain thank God. But I can't fricken breath! I can't move a muscle..i can't do anything! So I just sit there and think..well they are gonna notice I'm not breathing..or I'm gonna die..I hear whats going on but nobody seems to be in a panic. It seems like forever..but then I somehow breath again..and go back under. I'm thinking this is maybe when they took my breathing tube out or something? I don't really now. But I know for sure that it happened.

Do you ever get frustrated with band babies?
Dibaby replied to TamifromAL's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
The ones that really drive me nutty are the ones that say..."I just had surgery but I don't know what to eat". I mean come on. You haven't met with a nutritionist at least once pre-surgery? They didn't get you any instructions to take home with you? You didn't get the lap-band book to read? geezes..I don't get how u can have the surgery and then not have any instructions as to what to eat after. I put the doctor's mostly at fault for this one though. I did six months of research before I did the surgery (spotlighthealth I believe it was). I was a walking encyclopedia of band knowledge. It's a huge life changing event. How can you NOT research? I just don't get it. I truely believe its a combination of bad doctor's and lazy people not wanting to read. -
Why's my band tighter at different times?
Dibaby replied to chubster808's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
In the mornings = tight band The whole period week = tight band Being sick at all = tight band Stressed at all = tight band Otherwise..I'm good..lol -
Okay I haven't done anything since Tuesday night! Just wayyy to busy. Took the xmas pictures. I still look fat..ugh. I did go out on a date friday night with a different guy..lol. He was nice we went to a bar ended up closing it then went out to breakfast..hehe. I dunno though..just not feeling it..ugh. Went out again with him on Saturday night..still nothing..so gonna let him go. But have a new one that I talked to till midnight last night..sounds very promising. Wants to meet me soon..hehe. Okay I feel huge and nasty. I'm going to step aerobics tonight even though I still feel hung over..LOLL..bad bad bad.. I dunno guys I just needed a break I think. Oh and the YMCA was closed on Sunday for painting. Anyways..happy monday :scared:

It's been a crazy week for me. I'm sort of off the wagon I think :cool: Well I went to spin class Tuesday but I haven't been back yet. I was suppose to go last night but I had to find an outfit cause I'm having xmas pictures taken today. My date closed his profile on POF so I guess there's no date. sigh..I have another guy suppose to call me. We'll see. Anyways I have some free time tonight. Grandma is taking my daughter for the night. Doesn't it just figure I have nothing going on now. I'm kind of depressed I think. We'll the pms isn't helping..

Do you eat popcorn?
Dibaby replied to bandster_1007's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I love popcorn. The "smart pop" is soooo good and only 2 points with WW's. I believe its a good source of fiber also. -
LOLL...hey guys. Saturday did my weight class. Man my legs are still killing me. Sooo many leg lifts! Didn't make it to workout Sunday. Had a b-day party for my friends daughter. It was at a water park thing too. I didn't go swimming and I should have. I'm still weird about having others see me in my suit. I gotta get over this. So instead I kept on grazing..geezes. I have a real problem with free food thats sitting in front of me. Anyways..no dates this weekend. No money for babysitter..ugh. Turned down 2 dates on Saturday..lol. The one guy James that I've had to dates with already,called Sunday night and apologized for not getting back to me (yeah right this means his dates didn't go so well..LOL). He wants to go out this weekend. Already have some time for myself because the Y has a parents night out thing this saturday..gotta love it. Ohh get this..I had some guy that thought I'd just come to his house to watch a movie..oh gimmee a break..LOL. I'm sure he's a nice guy and all but come on..I'm not that nuts! Tonight is step aerobics..back on track. :Banane42: Friday night I'm having xmas pictures taken with my daughter. This is a first for me. Always felt it would be a waste for me to be in the photo. I'm really excited. Hopefully will turn out good.

Will Weight Watchers Work?
Dibaby replied to HersheeKisz's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Oh one more thing..I'm looking into getting a Body Bugg..lol...one more tool! -
You are too sweet...hehe.. You guys have me all beat on exercise..I just can't seem to get any more in with my schedule. I really really really want a body bugg though to see what is going on with me.

Will Weight Watchers Work?
Dibaby replied to HersheeKisz's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I do WW's too and love it. On top of what everyone else has said about WW's it's really not a diet first of all. It's a way of life. It incorporates exercise and also gets into the emotional reasons as to why we over eat. The group support is what I love the most. Anyways I think to be successful, at least for myself, I have to use as many tools as I can. So I attend WW's, I have a personal trainer, I have my band, and I belong to the YMCA. So with all of that. How can I NOT be successful? -
I LOVEEE MY NUVORING!! It's fabulous. I hate taking pills and I'm bad at it..(hence my 6 year old..lol). You can take the ring out for 3 hours at a time..and your still covered. I don't feel it at all. Most the time the guy doesnt' even notice its there. I didn't want a IUD because there were too many side effects that I have seen listed. I also think you have to have a full term pregancy to have an IUD. I'm not certain though. With an IUD also you have this string thing hanging out of you all the time..no thanks. Good luck with your choice

I forgot to mention about the weight loss statement I have in my profile. Actually it has worked for me I believe. Guys like it that I am goal oriented and stuff it seems. Also for woman weight is a HUGEEE issue. I wanted to be crystal clear without any confusion as to what my body looks like. I hear that alot from guys that women are not honest about their looks so I'm really trying to be. Thanks hon for the feedback..your fabulous -

Dibaby replied to NewBeginnings2018's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Okay I looked it over. I like it. The only thing I think that might be turning people off is that you did just put "friends". I know you stated why in your profile but alot of people just scan. They won't even read your profile if they see "friends". I really think you should put "dating". Just my opinion. Also put more pictures! Guys are really visual creatures and need to know what u really look like before they will talk to you. Also make sure to put a full body shot..I know..it's hard..but you have to. It's only fair. -

Yeah it looks good I think manatee..but yeah maybe shorten it up a bit. I would also change your body type to average. Your gonna confuse people. You sound very honest and sincere..thats a HUGE plus. Go see mine..i'm Dibaby37 -
Make sure you don't eat or drink anything at least 2 hours before your bedtime and see if its still happening. This cures it for me

I like being tall..but it's really hard to find a tall guy it seems. I would say 75% of the interest I get online are shorter than me and I'm just not comfortable with that.
