pas4mykids, First of all, I feel your pain. I, too, am a food addict. :tongue2: I've always dreamt about food. I used to Plan my day, evening, vacations, etc around what I'm going to eat, and where. Sometimes, I still do. I subscribe to many cooking magazines, and I buy cookbooks like others buy romance novels. I can food shop for hours! :blink:The grocery store is never a quick little jaunt for me. Do I wish I could sink my teeth into a big fat juicy burger and stuff my face with fries? Absolutely! Be able to devour a plate of pasta and breadsticks? Hell ya! But I can't. These are the facts. And sometimes it totally sucks. BUT!! I look at my results, how much better I feel, the smaller clothes in my closet, etc... and I KNOW this is all worth it. :wub: I still dream about food - (Broasted chicken and Pasta the most.) And I probably always will. It's who I am. But NOT eating some of your favorites, or not eating as much as you used to, gets easier and easier. Trust me on this. Let me know how you're doing ... Keep in touch! :thumbup: Bobbie

Stuck, did someone say STUCKED!
BobbieND replied to LollyMoe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I could have written your post word for word about a year ago!! I still get things stuck, and barf and slime - in the car, in the parking lot, at home, in the restaraunt, etc... Its very humiliating. And unfortunately, my bf is of no help when in the car... he has a very weak stomach and gets upset with me because I didnt barf back at the restaraunt - If i knew... Would i be doing it in the car??? and getting upset with me? LIKE THATS GONNA HELP THE SITUATION!!! Anyway, NO more Broccolli, Green Beans, Pea Pods, etc... nothing hard to digest,stringy or causes gas. I can't manage most fruits either... Anyone else going thru this too ????? -
Hello Shaun! I'm so glad to hear you're doing well!! Here's my responses to each of your thoughts...
1. I DID go thru a lot of pain & frustration to be here. And i have NO intention of giving up. I just feel less than stellar when my co workers ask me how much I've lost, & i've given them the same answer for the past few months, ya know?
2. I was planning to reward myself at 100 pounds. Maybe I need that reward now to keep me going?
3. Forgiving myself isnt exactly my forte .. is it any body's?
4. I've already got a freezer full of portioned out, home cooked meals. I'm just not in the mood sometimes,& need something different. I guess i want to stay "Normal". Does that make sense?
5. I don't exercise right now at all. Ding! Ding! Ding!Yes,I KNOW thats a huge part of my plateau,& why I'm not dropping. However RA in my hips and back,& Fibro tend to make it difficult some days to even get out of bed. I HAD hoped that once some weight came off, it would be easier.its not.thoughts?

Hi Trisha ! Thanks for the Chewing out :-) I appreciate it LOL Yes, I work at PRACS. Do you do studies? I'm a recruiter there :-) No, i don't need a fill. i know that. I have a hard time, some days, eating at all. I puke quite a bit other days. And some days its like I dont even have a band. It's goofy! But I don't exercise. at all. Nada. Zip. Zilch. I hope to start walking outside soon. ( I have very bad knees ) And a gym membership would be a waste. I have so many other secondary issues sometimes everything hurts. SO, where do you work? We will have to keep in touch! :-)

OK ... MY turn for a kick in the ass... Can youhelp me out??? LOL Not sure why, But my motivation is ZIP this past week. Not really caring what I eat. And eating until I puke, then eating some more... Have you ever done that? Man, i just dont get it. Maybe I'm more frustrated with my month long plateau than I realized?? Tell me how well you're doing! That should get me motivated again :-)

Re: "Inverted T" abdominoplasty
BobbieND replied to Mimilou2004's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Becci and Mimi ... I've been reading this entire post today, and I almost PEED myself laughing! LOL I have tears streaming down my face .... My co-workers must think I'm on Crack or something! LOL Becci - you have an AMAZING writing style... Thank you for your story, and for being brave enought to share your pictures... I need my tummy done, as well as under arms, boobs, thights and butt. But my Dr says i hv to wait until i reach goal! I'm at 210 right now, and goal is 150. It's take me 2.5 years to loses the first 80 pounds. It will probably be another 2 years before i can get the flab/skin taken off. Oh well...... my younger BF ( by 13 years ) loves me the way I am, and I dont mind it too much. I just get rashes and sores, and they hurt. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoy reading your stories, and hearing about your lives. Congratulations to both of you !! -
Rock On!! Congrats :-)

why band over vertical sleeve?
BobbieND replied to babettegriffin's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I actually WANTED the Sleeve ... But my BMI was just UNDER the cut off. I needed to gain 7 pounds in order to get it! lol My Dr wouldnt let me go up since we were working on going down... So, I chose to be banded.
