It's all good. I never said she wasn't cute. She can play on my team anyday. I just never thought she was gay. Is all. No hurt feelings here.

You kill me with that. I'm a huge lesbian and she's never struck me as gay. I swear I thought you were going to say you thought she was a man posing as a woman or something.:thumbup: But dude, she might be a tom-boy but she never tripped my gay-dar. And watch out it's the super girlly ones who are going to surprise you for liking the other girls.

For the most part, do as you were taught when someone says something nice to you. Say, "Thank you." and then if you want to keep talking but not about yourself, say, "Did you get your hair cut? is that a new blouse? I love that color on you...." turn the conversation around to the complimenter. Or I've been known to say, "Thanks, I've got a bit to go still." or "awe shucks, it's nice of you to say something" But move on to the weather or something quickly if you uncomfortable. As for the, "You can tell?" I think that opens people up to many possible horrible things I'd never want to hear. "Like hell yeah I can tell you were HUGE!" or "I wouldn't have said something if I couldn't tell, I noticed, I said something, it's obvious I can tell." Now I'm projecting mean onto the very nice people. Don't let this get to you, it's only going to happen more.

Central Ohio Get Together - July 12, 2008

I don't dare say out loud that I'll be there because always, ALWAYS something comes up. But it's my intent to make it. Amy, yes please do come and bring your little one. -
Who said there was room for a sensible reply on here? Just kidding. Good points all. And like everything else in the world, turn the channel, it's not like one is being held hostage by RR.

You know I got me a tall, gorgeous GF. She's always been healthy, not overweight, or not by much. You know the type that could lose 10 or 15 pounds so her clothes "fit better". Generally she's fit and would be discribed as lanky by most.
She loved getting all over me (I just moved this to PM so as not to freak out the straight people) when I weighed 300+. I had proof that is more tangible than words my fat didn't turn her off.
However, she always looks in the mirror, grabs her little belly and is disgusted in herself. I have to lecture her about how negative self talk isn't productive.
But to cut GF and BFF some slack, they may have matured in this society with a more typically accepted body shape than you or I but they have had the same messages bombard them that we have. They have been told fat is flawed and big is bad. It's easy to not let that message apply to someone you love but hold yourself to a different standard.
You are well within your rights to call her out on her twisted logic. I'd do it more gently than harshly. I'm sure she's frustrated with her behavior...
But yeah the message, "Love it or change it" is something she probably hasn't had to hear before. I know my GF struggles to shut her mouth when she's naked about how much she doesn't like her body. I can't imagine being that blessed and bitching about it, but it happens.
(As I type this, I'm thinking, she's queer right? I think she is. I could look on the LBGT thread, but I'm lazy....)
Peace there girl.

Oh I'm such a two faced person.... Who hasn't made themselves or someone else try to feel better with food? I don't blame RR for saying what she said, I just don't like you see her olive oil in the store, you see her face on the wheat thins box, she shilling for Dunkin' Donuts, so I learned flipping through a mag... Truth be told if I were offered the same shot as she was I'd try to milk it for every penny. I'm just tired of her.

IMHO The hardest part of being banded.
OH Juli replied to ReadySteadyGo's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Susan we are soul mates. Or lunch mates. I feel so bad too because I have a summer of lunches planned with two coworkers. Everyday it's planned that one of us makes or brings in lunch for the other two. Today was aspargus phyllo wraps and salad. It was delicious but I could only eat half of one and a few bites of salad. (I just got an aggressive fill...) I don't want to back out from the meals but I also don't want to apologize all the time. But they are good friends and know about the band. They love me. -
I turned. I loved her at first then I just couldn't stand her EVERYWHERE. I own a few of her cookbooks even...
-
if only you could find her in small doses. Her face is everywhere.
-
I wonder who she's slept with to get herself all over the place. I mean the word ubiquitous describes her freaking face plastered all over the place. Ugh.

whos Do you have any races on the horizon?

Traci, You look really pretty in your avatar. What amazing cheekbones! Stacy, A 10 minute mile is pretty quick. Don't be so hard on yourself.

The hardest part of being banded for me is the socializing and eating business. I want to be mindful of how I eat, but I don't want to be scrutinized...it's a catch. I also don't want to get caught up in the conversation and take huge bites. Oh, and heavens if the host made something with skins (cucumber, tomato, grapes) and I have to hack it up... I want to eat by myself. -

Except when you have a sliming episode. Then they are in overdrive!!! -

Hi, I'm an OSU banded person. I know what you mean about selling the bypass. I was annoyed with them too, but felt deeply that I wanted the band or nothing. I have to say once that was established there was no talk of the bypass again. My surgeon is fantastic, and his staff is good too. I'm just putting that out there incase your insurance limits you to whom you can choose. OSU really did and continues to do very well by me and if you must reconsider using them know that they have a satisfied patient out there. -
You need to snatch that recipe from her and share it with us!!!

HP Girl, you look great!!!! You have got to be feeling amazing! D I have white grip tape on my bike. (had a silver seat which is not a bontrager, that I love). Windex the tape when it gets dirty. It will whiten it up again. BG So you didn't get that new seat before the 250 miles? Plans to get one anytime soon? Again, Traci, you look really fantastic.

You could talk me into some of the smaller races, next summer when school is done...

There are times I miss the simplicity of shopping for clothing. There were two stores, with only a few styles I would wear and in fewer colors I'd put on. So it was easy. (BUT not FUN). Now I'm forever trying things on and I can't decide X or Y or Z or A...it gets a little frutstrating. But it can be fun trying if I'm not in a hurry.

You might need to adjust when you eat if you are super tight with your next fill. I can't eat before 10am (and I get up at 6) and I can't eat after 7pm if I don't want reflux in the night. I'm still like that now for the most part, but I can eat ENTIRE sandwiches with chips on the side now, so I'm thinking a slight fill might be in order. I used to never wear my band tightly, but right now I feel the need. I don't know just to change it up. Perhaps you do too?
-
BG Girl you are on FIRE. HP find those shots! And thanks for the compliment, BTW. I'm sure your changes are just as dramatic, looking at your ticker!
-
You're killing me...I love it. Century girl huh? I just talked Alison out of doing the one on labor day. I'm just not up for that kind of training. Sounds like you've got a fire lit beneath you. Hopefully it's contagous!!!

OMG, I started running again this past week, (okay, one day) because you shamed me. And really it has to happen. Yeah the Simmonses need to have a royal ass whippin'. I know we'll get all caught up this week, but quickly, here, are we still shooting for CP on Saturday?
