me me me...... my band date is May 15th...

You knw i was tossing and turning last night because i had a dream that i lost all of the weight that i had to loose and i was looking pretty hott...lol..:coolgleamA:, and me and a guy friend were sitting watching tv and there i was on a commercial talking about the lapband..lol and it was kind of embarassing... so im kind of up in the air about it... also do they pay u for doing that....

That when they called with my band date and everything she said that she would like to take a before picture and follow me for 6mths to a year and have me taped to do a commercial to appear on tv next year as well as the internet, and in magazines as well... What do u all think about that....

Wow I have a cousin that lives in naperville... how cool... u know i'm being banded at the Water Tower Surgical Center on Michigan Ave.. and I wanted to go in American Girl but i have a boy and he is 3-yrs old and i was like ohhh look i want to go in and he was like yuck... that's girl stuff...lol... So how is everything going for u?

Ok i have my fingers crossed for u... x

I felt the same way this morning when i received my call... Congrats...

Thanks... I better do good or i will kick my own azz....lol...

congrats.... i'm sure u will do fine...

lol... exactly.... I need that kind of inspiration.....

i would assume that it is your pre-op diet... does it sort of give u a gudeline of what u would eat? its should also state what u can and can't have also..

Thanks...after u get your band plz give me an update and let me know how everything went..

Well my pre-op diet says that I should drink 2shakes and eat 1 meal a day for 1 week... now your bmi is lower than mine.. why do they have u on just all liquids, and did they give u any instructions on what to eat before yr banded and after..if not i would call and request that.. you should be able to drink the slimfast or what ever type of shakes u would drink... v-8 juice should be ok also

Do you excercise and if so for how long and what do u do in your workouts. I know that getting up and moving is way better than doing nothing. I really need to get my motivation back in regards to working out. I have a twisted way of thinking that when i get banded i will be this super chick that will run on the freekin treadmill everyday for like an hour and such... which im sure is poss. but because of my boob factor.. uhhhh no..lol... I would have to wear 2bra's and 3-sports bras to keep them from smacking me in the face...lol.... but really... I haven't really truly worked out in like a month or so which is truly sad.... when i do workout i normally do the elliptical for like an hour and do my abs, arms and such.. I despise squats... :wink2::cursing: but i know they will tone my fat butt.... Are there any excercises that u enjoy? Plz help me get movin.

I read a post some where that says that if u eat until u r full u have eaten too much. Go slow and take your time in-between bites or sips of soup and or food. remember your pouch is small and when u have a restriction the food passes thru slowly. So in other words it will back up in your esophogus until it passes thru the band into your stomach so if u stop when u are full there may be more that has to pass thru from your esophogus that will cause u to be over full and sick to the stomach... just my take on it from what i read....

You know that is a good idea i think im going to start that as of today. I'm going to get one of my empty hinkley Water bottles and everytime I want to buy some junk food or something that we call in Chicago a greese bag( see the rule is if u come out of a fast food resturant and in 5-10 minutes if the bottom of your bag is soaked in greese it has to be good....lol) i will put the money in the bottle and see how much i wind up with by the time i reach my goal..... Wow excellent idea.... :wink2:

That is excellent info....Thanks..

No of course not... lol.... I was actually going to post some shoes sort of like that....

You know sometimes when i get really really upset the first thing i do is run to food.. something that 'makes me feel better'..... Never realized it until a week or so ago... but sometimes it is so hard to manager anger when u think a twix candy bar will make u feel better.... It is my own mind set.. now the pb cups omg.... a friend of mine bought some sugar free pb cups and i was like uhhh no thanks... that crap is going to be nasty... then i wanted some chocolate really bad.. so i ate 2 now after the first one i was like this is not bad the 2nd one and was like this is pretty good.. then she said ohhh yeah they are made with sugar liquor or something that will send u to the bath room... and i was like what.... but hey i figure if i have a craving for it i will eat a few sugar free pb cups and thats it.. knowing that they will send me to the bathroom stops me everytime...lol.. but it kills the craving... now only if cupcakes did the same thing...lol.. but it is hard freekin work and it is a battle that u have to fight every darn day..... but i am going to win this fight because i refuse to make food my captain....:laugh:

I am lovin u right now...lol that is so right...

I agree... and I hope u start to feel better really really soon..take deep breaths to make sure that your lungs are clear and free...

I would call the Dr's office and let them know some need fills faster than others... U want to continue your success..... Congrats on the 16lb weight loss...:huh2::thumbup::w00t:

Wow... lol...

Well everyone is entitled to their own opinion...However I refuse to pass judgement towards anyone because I don't want that in return. :huh2:. It's all an opinion. I'm Fat and I know it. I don't care if u have a fill or not you shouldn't even try to eat an entire box of mac & you r trying to loose weight...WTF. That's just like myself calling and calling, and calling to see what my band date is and being on the pre-op diet and blowing it all the way... I am strictly talking about myself. I would feel like i failed. We are here for support and I know that, but what I am getting at is I think he lied about being banded. I know people slip and that's normal but this guy has not changed his eating AT ALL... I think what he is doing is trying to discourage other people like myself at work from getting the band. I think he is trying to say see it i told yall it don't work....Also He has had a fill or two and hasen't lost 2oz yet... go figure... Like I said I don't pass judgements at all because I am smart enough to know that karma is no joke...:w00t:

It seems so strange because he is like What if they told me that I was banded and I really wasent. Then he tops it off with I ate an entire box of Kraft Mac & Cheese and 4 chicken wings do u think it's working....:smile2::biggrin:... R u serious... I understand over eating is an illness because like myself I would eat just for the hell of it. But why would a person eat and eat and eat just to see how much they can hold down before getting sick or throwing it back up... that is crazy to me. I just had to get that out and vent because some people make me think do they really send everyone thru a phyc evaluation?
