Hi all! How does everyone deal with being single and banded. I sometimes fear that being banded could be a turn off... what does every one else think?

How many fills and how much is in the band? I think its weird they gave you diet pills again...

Hi everyone, Just wondered is anyone had any great high Protein meal ideas or snacks... Today for a snack I had a wedge of laughing cow light cheese, and a pickle.. if I would have had deli meat I would have made a wrap. it was so delightful that I wounder if anyone else has any good Ideas Another fav is a banana and peanutbutter! yum!!

Do you drink soda? Thats a big no no for my doctor. I wounder if your alittle to tight? Thats what happened to me and they took out .25 and now I dont get that.

I dont understand shy guys always go for the skinny girl? I mean she could be a total b and they still go for the skinny girl. I am not perfect ... far from it but I have a good heart, morals and I dont think I look that bad. So why if your over a size 8 your unloveable?

Would never call you old cause I am 31 and single.... Just wish I could find Mr Right...

Anyone else having problems getting onto the chat?

Chat is working!!

Thank you!!

Thank you!

Well thanks for the compliments..... I still just dont get it! I know my friends are cute and I feel like I am on the same leve as them no matter what size I am but its insane how many guys hit on them or ask me about them to hook them up. The funny part is they all have boyfriends so its a waste of there time anyway., Another thing is when people set me up they always set me up w people I would never date not to sound rude but total losers. Hello just because I am over weight doesnt mean that I will date anyone.. I want someone with a job goals, all there teeth and someone that doesnt want to use me is that to much to ask? I guess I just wish that I could find that person. Ugh I dont know!

Bummer! Its been like this for a few hours... might just go to bed!

you will be fine! its not bad at all

good luck!!! you will be just fine!

I have always been cold in my hands and feet but I seem to notice that its hard for me to warm up now..

I agree walk walk walk..... if u are feelinf bloated you could try the gas x strips... thats what I did!

your doing great!! keep up the good work!

Ughh so in the same boat!

I have had this happen and it wasnt a slip... something must have got stuck then it finally went through I bet. My friend had a slip and she was in lots of pain and it didnt go away

Sometimes when I eat out I get kinda annoyed though to.. That I can only take 4 bite. Great so I spent $15 on a meal I can't eat. Even the smaller portion size is to much! I dont know I just sometimes feel weird about not being able to look normal when I eat out! also has anyone tried sushi rolls when they have been tight? I am going next wkend w a friend and I am worried I wont be able to do it with all the rice...

I was so in the same boat! Dont give up! I didnt have any restriction untill a year out. Just took that long to get my band full enough! You can do this dont give up! I have just got 50 off and its been over a year! I felt awful about it but now its working!
