LOL...in this case I KNOW YOU DO...refer to my rant this week and you got it! :wink2:

LOVE IT!! :wink2:

lol...You could be right! If that is the case, yes then purge your heart out, but NOT your tummy. :wink2:

LOL....maybe that is WHAT did it 666.....lol....

This summer it went down for like 24 hours. I was completely lost. I must have been asleep in the bathroom when it went down today, thank god! lol.... No, you are not the only one.....:wink2:

(((WHITE))) I am so sorry hun. I am glad you have taken the first step to a healthier you. It will be a hard road but I think you can do it. Hs-- I think you are overwhelmed and need some help as well. I don't think anyone here will give you permission to purge. I apprecaite the desperate situation you are in. I think you need to talk to a councelor on your own. I wish you both the best of luck, and wish good things for both of you! :wink2:

I am so sorry you are having trouble. You may want to get a councelor to help you. When we get the surgery we think that our mind will change like the band forces our stomach to, but that is not the case. Sometimes we need help with that! I don't think you hate yourself, I think you haven't dealt with the real reason why you over eat. It was something VERY hard for me to come to terms with and I had to get help. It is ok to ask for help. I think you are really taking the first step by acknowlaging to yourself (and us) that you have a problem. Seek a support group or a therapist to help you. You don't have to do it on your own! Good luck, and hugs to you! :wink2:

Well I finallly got a tiny bit of sleep today since I posted but I can tell you it is the weirdest place ever I HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP. I went in to the ladies room, and there was a line. So I sat on the couch in there.....at 11:30 or so....I just woke up in the ladies room...about 1 pm.... I feel like a complete idiot to fall asleep in a rest room. My face is all jacked up, my sunglasses fell down and I smooshed them on my face....it is now all red....I LOOK LIKE A FREAK. But the good news at least I slept a bit... What do you think the women that went in there thought? I was a curled up in the fetal position....lol....

Michele Congratulations to you! You are going to be very sucessful with the band! You have taken the first steps in your journey, congrats to you! Keep up the great work, and many blessings! :wink2:

WOW! I am glad to hear I am not alone but it doesn't sound like any of you have much relief. I am becoming a real bitch during the day, to the point I can't stand myself. Right now I haven't slept a wink since Tuesday night, and that was only 2 hours. I am going to make an appoitment, I can not live like this..ugh...

I did it! I made it to goal!!!! I actually did it a few days ago, I am actually under by .5...I waited a few days because it seems so unreal to me. I knew from a Dr appt this week. I made it to what I thought a year ago was a freaking PIPE dream! I am so happy and so amazed. If *I* can do it, anyone can, trust me! I want to motivate all of you that have ANY doubt or disbelief. If you want the band to work, and YOU WORK IT, it will work! :confused: Before I was banded I was a food whore. I had hidden stashes, I ate probly 4000 or more calories on a good day. Bad days were upward to 6000!! I ate fast food constantly, I ate 3-4 candy bars a day. Coke, was a huge habit. At least a 12 pack a day. It is all done with. I want you all to know what I have done is NOT a gimmick. I want you to know that yes, it was hard work but worth every second of it. I have a life again! YOU CAN DO IT TOO! For those of you who want to know how, this is what I did (still do...lol) I eat about 800-1200 calories per day. I haven't cut anything out, but bread and Pasta because they get stuck for me. I use shake, no matter what. I eat whatever I want in very small moderate portions. BUT I can tell you, I no longer really like fast food, it makes me ill to my stomach. Candy is not a demon anymore either. I even *GASP* have an occasional Coke now and then, but only about 1/4 of a can! I have deprived myself of anything, if I crave something long enough I do eat it. I have learned that life is better that way. Please all of you doubting the band or yourself, please DO NOT give up! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Yes ma'am I did 1.5 hours a day of cardio. Tried to kill myself maybe, but it worked. I broke it up on the bike, treadmill and stepper. When I was doing 2 shakes a day I was doing them with 1 meal and 2 snacks. I now do 1 shake a day. Snacks for me are a protien bar broke up through out the day or string cheese--my fave food. Weight is a number, find what is right for you and makes you happy. I am considered overweight by standards really and I am 6'0". I don't believe in the numbers that MetLife goes by which is what standards are set by. We are women with curves for god sake...lol.. I will PM you my Herbalife guy, Joe. I don't sell it. He can help you out, he ships.

OMG I truly love that! That ROCKS! :thumbup:

CONGRATULATIONS! Here is to another 13 and another and another and another and another...and so on! CONGRATS! Keep it up! :thumbup:

NSV=NON scale Victory, the best kind there is! :thumbup:

I don't intentionall low carb but as already been said, I eat protien first. Not much left for carbs. I do occassional splurge with simple sugars, but it is rare. I do not count carbs in my meals, if they are there so be it.

My alter ego is SUPER B... :biggrin2:

lol...ok ok NO secrets! :thumbup: I ditto that, OP must be fuming!

Welcome to LBT and good luck on your surgery! :thumbup:

OMG Kat! I LOVE your new picture! You look great! :thumbup:

Yes I do, sorry to tell you. I am getting a tummy tuck and breast reduction on May 6th. I want to also get my arms and thighs done, but my insurance doesn't cover it.

Ditto, we all are!

Thanks Suzanne. I agree with you , some people just want to stay the skinny ones, and don't want to share the spotlight. :thumbup:

Yes, the last 10 pounds were definately definately the hardest, more than 3 months it went up and down. Here is what I did.... I got a fill even though my Dr thought I didn't need it, I was at 3.50 went to 3.75. Switched my cardio/weight split workout and went to just cardio for 1.5 hours for a week and then weights a week, and kept flipping that way. I ate no more than 800 calories a day, no matter if it killed me. Somedays I wanted to shoot myself, but I wanted that weight off. I avoided carbs completely. I did 2 protien shakes a day, plus a Herbalife tea that kicks your metobolism up. 1 cup burns 80 calories. BTW, I want you all to know I am NOT an Herbalife dealer, it is just what worked for me. I account my last 30 pounds to it completely. Dr told me I was going to stay 30 pounds short of my goal and I committed to get them off.

Yes I do, but PM me and tell me where you are and we can find you someone. If you want I can get some samples from my "dealer". I promise you WILL NOT be dissapointed. I love them, no Vitamin smells, and they taste like dessert. NO JOKE!
