    How do you deal with stress?

    I acutually started reading a funny book and was lol in the doctors office yesterday , I also watch a funny movie and I have friends around and we go out to eat or just take a walk and catch up it seems to work and of course we have a few good laughs, but the talking really helps, just to get it out .
  7. Also everybody has to remember how many hours they work out a day being there , well I am not able to work out that much as I have a job and other things in life that I have to deal with everyday , but I would have lost all my weight also if I was just working out that many hrs. and watching and logging everything I ate , I mean I do some of the eating and watching my calorie intake and I take my walks or walk up and down steps , but if I put in that many hrs. and was being watched like they are then I would unfortunally probally be like that , wich I know I wouldn't look good , and I have seen people like that and had to tell them , as we all know we don't see it till our minds catch up , unless someone else is telling us.
  8. One of them had the lapband can't remember wich one though , I wish I could remember, and if it was one of the contestants that got sent hoe or stayed , wish I could remember as I watched it from the beginning .
  9. Well went to the Lapband surgeon tosay I have been on a major plataue and told him I was very stressed and upset that my weight loss wasn't going as good as we have seen me do , and I was eating the sae so he did the barium and flouro again and said I looked loose , so another fill it was only a 1/4 but we will see what happens , he wants me to come in in 2 weeks so I will be patient and see what happens because I have not changed the way I eat for the better , so hopefully this works aga...

    People, please.....

    What a great post , and thanks for the words of wisdom and encouragement from people and of course for starting this thread , as I was thinking I wanted to eat that whol container of cookies or a soda would be nice just to take the edge of the stress off , then again I thought to my self go back and look at the pics of when I began , till now and how uncomfortable I was , well things are going to happen in life that I can not change , and so I will keep on my journey to the things I can change and one of them is the way I think or have ate before so I am a changing , as will the change of time.
  12. Oh by the way you can , click on pics and see the before , during or after , some of us have posted , to see , I still do it .
  13. At least your doing your research as I think most of us do and want to know the good, bad , negative or positivies , Heck I even goggled my Surgeon and read up on him , just to make sure , yes I had 2 coworkers that had it done by the same doc but I had to do the research my self and wrote down everything to get answers , and I am the kind of person that wants it straight not beat around the bush so I asked and told my Surgeon to let me know not in Doctor or medical terms lol but in everyday terms , so it is a choice , and that choice is yours , don't let any one encourage or discourage you as I made a choice to have it done for me and I had people all around with yes or I don't think you should or I don't think your ready , well I am almost 2 years banded and I personally love having it , it helps but I still have to do a lot that I would not have been able to or even want to do , so it is a choice , good luck in what you decide and know it is not as easy as people may think.
  14. Gotta remember though jillian is the one that recommended and pushed the caffine pills on her tea and that is why the team got to have a tea member back , and I hope no Lapband doctor or physical trainer would ever recommend weight loss pills or anything like that to make the weight come off faster , we , most of us I would hope are learning or have learned to eat , and do our work with our little tool to help us be more healthy , not look un healthy or , be anorexic, or have bulia , I don't wish that on any one , and of course we all still have the mental factors and I would just hope that our mental capacity will let us know.
  15. Yes Rachel is thin , hen again I don't think she had as much to lose as the other contestants , so it really upset me because I think at least one of the other contestants should have won, that had a lot more to lose , I also had to look real close to make sure that was Tumi because she did not look like her self also , and Bobby had over cae and dealt with what was holding him back so hats off to him for dealing with some emotional issues for him self as we all have something , and some of us don't even know till we talk with some one who doesn't know us and as us banders we know we don't won't to look sick , we just want to be as healthy and live longer , make better choices of eating , we just needed a little help , but we also have to work at not over eating and on our selves, well we our on a journey and we will keep on our journeys.
  16. Just ask your doc, for the pre op & post op diet or you can go on the computer and print it out , but your doc. might want you to do some things different and what they think might be right for you as we again are all different , so please ask so you know what to expect that's what their there for.

    Banders Exercise

    Well I finally did it I walked up & down my street with those hills incline, and the decline 3 ties then y knees starting hurting so at least I did that then I went and walked around Walmart for 2 hours , it is really funny I can walk around Walmart and not notice the time , then I went and got my taxes done , then I cleaned up the house, so again I will call that exercise , oh I almost forgot since we live in a 2 story house , I walked up and down the stairs like 4 times to put food up in the second fridge lol, ya we have 2 fridges in our home and one little freezer , we used to have a big freezer but my mom gave that one away , really how many people have 2 fridges in their home lol, TV's , bathrooms yes but not fridges.

    Coffee.. I need help :(

    I a not able to drink coffee at all I drank it when I was a teen and found out that it affects e in not a good way , now before being banded I was a big soda drinker and it always had caffine in it just before being banded Sept. 2012 in july of 2012 I had to quit , it was the hardest for me , now I will drink decafinated tea no sugar in it , so you can ask your doc if you can have tea or decaffeinated coffee and hope it works out , I did get some multivitamin and noticed that I had ore energy when I started taking those and you can try the vitiain b 12 or ask your pcp about it , and I have thyroid issues so the things I did , did help me , you just have to find what may work for you, good luck .

    Ode to What I Weigh

    I agree with KimK , Prettythick1 that you should go with what your comfortable and happy with , not what everybody or weight scales at the Doctors office say as we have and will look in our mirrors and see what we are looking at and if we like it or not , , it goes to the obvious we see our selves everyday after taking a shower or when we get dressed , so why should anyone else tell us what we should do or not do if we are happy with ourselves , see I did the wls for myself as I really didn't feel good and my health was spiraling down so I knew I had to change m ways of eating and excercising , I just have a little tool that helps with that because there was NO way I could do it on my own as I and many of us have tried over and over again , so yes like all the other addicted people I sought out and got help and now noticing I am noticing me more.

    Banders Exercise

    Firs day of my week vacation , well I could have really slept in, but I chose not to so I had to go to my sons High School to sign with draw papers, done , then I got home parked the car got a bottle of water and headed out the door for my walk up and down the street , well I did that twice and thought about doing it one more time , but I got half way through and got a call for a meeting , so I had to run back to the house I laughed when I got in and caught my breath , wow I haven't been able to run in yrs. not even that short of a distance , then I started to clean and before I knew it the front of the house was clean , it will take me a full day to clean up my son's space , I will get it done though and I guess a few trips to the trash back and fourth will do and be my exercise for 2 days at the least lol.

    Crude comments

    I would have said ya I used to think like that but now I am good at what I have accomplished and I will se if you have lost or styed the same in a few months if your still here, then again they are probally being jelous or maybe they think they can do it on their own , but try to ignore it and just stay away from the negatives , look at the postives you have done , I mean what are they doing , so who cares don't worry about it be around more people and positive things that are happening , I mean did you do the surgery for them and everybody around or for your health and benefits or theirs, think about it , so who really cares what they think, just saying , as I don't care if people like or don't like what I do I am me and I do things for my health and well being , it does help to have support and more positive people though .
  24. Had to get out of the house after my walk this morning , so I went and visied my cousin that lives about a hr, away and my 20 yr, old went with me we had some good laughs , & watched the superbowl , had a good time.
