i get exactly what you say i have been one of those who was so harrassed on OH after i was banded last year (and before my surgery) with pm's saying how stupid i was to get the band and why didnt i get the sleeve or bypass and in two years id have to revise and all these complications i was due to get... and every time i posted a question of what is this or that, id get a link to the failed banded fb page...that my dear is what i call trolls and people who bait just to be mean.. i cant tell you crappy i felt for a few months thinking what a mistake i must have made...i felt bad bc my ins didnt approve sleeves..self doubt..how nice of people to do that to a newbie.. but you know what, i am proving those women wrong. so as for all i got out of your post..i read it and understood it. i agree with it. i support any and everyone who gives a crap about following their dr's advice i do not coddle those who divert off course.. and if you want support, in my opinion, it starts with ones own self.

Bait (verb) Deliberately annoy or taunt (someone):

not only hell yeah but F*** yeah

i do have 3 bags of (big clothes) ready to take to good will. part of me wants to keep them ..just in case..

thanks for sharing after (reading negs) its nice to know that there are success stories out there

i for some reason am the point leader..i had to ask what that meant not too long ago as i had no idea. and yes, i spend alot of time on here and it has helped me come this far in losing weight.

keep up the great work terry

AJ what can i say that others havent already said oh yeah, YOU GO GIRL

my numbers (refer) to my friends i found on this forum. my friends....that number helps me stay on course and true to myself and def keeps on my toes. nothing like getting threatened for them to come visit me and whip my hiney if i dont get off my whiney wagon...i have found my strength in the number of friends i made on this forum. with them and the band, i cant lose.

just keep moving (and taking the pain meds) to help..each day gets better. just stay the course and congrats on your surgery. this is your year.

i do (and did) with the dry mouth.not sure why. i just started to drink (more) and it seemed to help with the dry mouth part. as for the bad breath, i dont know (hadnt scared hub off yet) but i do brush alot anyhow so i may not have noticed..

right now (its all i can do) but i do it, i walk. because of my (size at the beginning of my saga) and my knees, i cant walk far but i am not up to 2 blocks a day and i just walk.. my street that i walk on, goes up hill to my house. and boy can my mammoth thighs feel it..it too me alot to get to be able to even walk 1/2 block. i know each step gets me closer......to better health. ps: since i cant (exercise like some) i am very aware of my caloric intake. 3500 cals is a pound ate or drank. so i am careful to not take in more cals then i can burn off.

love button???

I think a loss is a loss as i see it.....if you are adhering to the band rules in regards to eating the proper portions, the better food choices and letting the band help you and also, realizing 3500 cals is a pound whether its ate or drank and to not take in more then you burn off, then you are doing great. if you are losing inches, clothes getting bigger, then its working. the scale goes up and down all day long. just because the scale is not moving quickly, I am sure its working. hang in there. I just know you will continue to lose.

my nut advised me to eat items (all) in portions.....but after the band and realizing protein filled me up and made me not eat as much (and kudo's for my band helping me also) i choose now to not eat un filling foods like rice/pasta/bread/potatos. i eat lean meats/fruit/veggies which fill me up. it works for me. good post.
