Boo Boo Kitty

YEAH Audree! Good for you!

Then I would say NO to a fill! Sounds like your body needs to catch up, I would wait it out a bit!

Just admitting that you are unmotivated can do wonders. You have to make the choice! Make a list of WHY you got banded, you said it seems you have forgotten why---so remind yourself! You deserve more, and you are capable of much more. We all know you, love you and believe in you---now believe in yourself. You can turn this around! YOU CAN DO IT!! PM me if you need me, we are all here for you! HUGS Your band buddy! =:Banane35:=

lol Lauren is the popular girl with all the opinions don't cha know! On another note, Harley Nana, I don't think I have ever seen your pic before! You look lovely dear! SO nice to now have a face to you! :Banane35:

I can't edit anymore here either! I think it had to be said! She was wrong and rude, I tried to be nice about it, but if she takes it wrong oh well! That is the thing about computers, tone can never be spoken,only infered by the reader! That makes it open to just too much interpretation! :Banane35:

Kay--yeah Nat cracks me up! I like the Boo Boo Titty from you guys, but anyone else says it and it is on! lol.... :Banane35: lol... I am glad you are feeling better with the fill! Hopefully it will be just what you needed! WOO HOO!! Steph--if you have one near you take your clothes too big for you to a resale shop. I do that now to get $$ for new clothes. It is working great so far, saves me a ton of $$! Try it! Bandiva--I am sorry your DH is so stubborn, but remember we all had to make the decision to get healthy when we were ready, and comments from anyone did not help! Claud--we are 3 hours apart, when is a good time to call you? I am 3 hours ahead of you and go to bed very early! lol... Nat--girl you are getting gorgeous, I know how hard it is to see it yourself! You are doing great! Just think of strapping 2 or 3 1st graders on your back, that is what you have lost! I am all fired up this morning! lol... On a bitch rampage this morning...waitng for fall out now from the comment I left on the Before and after thread...lol... :Banane10: It is raining here and I hate rain. My umbrella sliced my finger too..ugh

Whatever she thought is was wrong. I pointed it out to her...ugh! I hope it wasn't too mean but the more I thought of it the more pissed off I am getting. So if I get kicked off LBT, I love you girls! lol...

Hello all, This is the tracking system that I use to see how I am doing on my eating. It is a free site and what I love is that it can calculate your nutrition intake such as protien, Vitamins, ect. You can also input your exercise as well. I had to use it for a Nutrition class at school and I have been using it daily. I can now track how I am doing WEEKLY!! WOO HOOO!! :Banane35: USDA - CNPP - MyPyramid Tracker Good luck and let me know what you think of it!

I am having best friend issues as well. While on one hand I know she is proud of me, I think I am just starting to piss her off now. We got into it last week and haven't talked since. I told her I am a size 10 now, same size as her. She proceeded to call me a B*tch and said "you've got it so easy". Which made me blow a gasket. She knows I am in the gym everyday at 4 am working my a$$ off. This hasn't even been close to easy!

You know Nat you are in my head! I was thinking that yesterday, My backpack for school was especially heavy yesterday and I was whinning to someone. Then it hit me, hey this backpack is really NOTHING! How did we do it????

Dianne Looking great sweetie! Good for you! :Banane35:

Hi Kathy, welcome to LBT. You are me, just a bit smaller! I am 6'0" I was 320 pounds! I am doing great now and you will too soon! There aren't alot of major complications with the band at all. The RenY does have alot, but the band typically does not! I am not from Georgia, but I do love it there so welcome from a Nothern girl...(ya I admitted that....lol) BUT my heart belongs to North Carolina!

VA--GOOD LUCK! Sending you new job vibes! ~~~~~ Steph--new eye pic?? lol...it is ok to be a tightwad, you can steal your daughter's clothes! LOL...

It takes a bit to get to that sweet spot and everyone is different! It took me until about the 3rd or 4th fill where I was convienced I was different, but everyone is not the same! This part of bandster living is not fun, waiting to find the sweet spot sucks, but you can find it and make it worth with paitence!

Jasmine-- I agree that you are being too hard on yourself!! What you are putting yourself through mentally is only going to make things worse. Do you know how many people would kill to be at 156?? I am one of them girl! :cool: You have done awsome, and beating yourself up will not fix anything. But I don't think there is anything to fix but your head! You are beautiful and healthy I am sure! Be thankkful you have made it this far. If you are eating the wrong things you can fix that, but worrying about a few numbers on the damn scale is nuts girl! YOU ARE WORTH more than that, we all are! I for one, no longer really care what the scale tells me. It is not my friend.... :heh:

lol...I agree with all of you! I am so sick of people suing for sh*t they did to themselves....ugh....

No point in looking back, you will just fall down! You are fixing it now, so look to the future!

Uh, well I think that 1/4 cup is CRAZY! My Dr tells me that as long as I am eating now more than 1 cup I am good. 1/4 cup is not enough to sustain life...I think it is nuts, sorry! First look at: 1. Water intake, are you getting 64 ozs at the right times of day? 2. Protien are you getting enough? You will never loose without it. 3. Exercise--are you doing it like you should? These things are the first thing you should look at when thinking of getting a fill! THe 1/4 thing scares me to death honestly!

lol...man I hate it! :cool:

I haven't heard much about him, I know he is new there! :cool: I am sure he will be great as well. If you can I honestly think you should see Christie for fills, she is very caring, and always listens to you! I had a problem where Farhan wanted to fill me more than I wanted, and he did. For the next week I lost 9 lbs in one week and was miserable all because he thought he knew better! Christie really takes the time to listen to you, she is encouraging when you are down and is just great. Otherwise I would leave Hurley! Also you have to take Denise with a grain of salt, somedays she seems mean. She isn't really at all but she can look scary! Good luck and keep us posted! PM me if you have any questions for me or need help!

Hey Steph!! LOOK AT you!! WOO HOOO!! I see your waist their girl! Looking good! I made it a tad bigger for you!

Hey Mindy I have found there is a VERY fine line from too tight and good restriction! Sounds to me like you need to at least visit the Dr and see if you are too tight. I have found that even .10ccs or .05ccs can make a HUGE difference for me. GO with your gut, as she said! :cool:

Hi Danna I was banded last year at Hurley. I would love to chat with you, I have been able to help others get through it with Hurley! Honestly you HAVE TO STAY ON TOP OF THEM to get things done, even now while you are waiting for approval! I was banded by Dr. Farhan, who will be your surgeon? If they tell you about the crazy lady that exercises everyday at 4 am that would be me! lol.. :cool: Few more rules: NEVER EVER, EVER for any circumstance let the nurse, Kathy do your fill or unfill. TRUST ME. If you can get Christie, she is the PA and better than the Dr but NEVER EVER let anyone else do it, trust me! They are not great with follow up on paperwork, ect. Be prepared to do as much leg work yourself as you can and you will get done much faster! Also--get to know the ladies at the desk, especially Carlolyn. If she likes you she will get you in sooner and ALWAYS take good care of you! The other lady, not so nice--ever!

:cool: I think it honestly is whatever YOU think is near! I think 30 is near! I am now like 15 away, but started in this thread at 20 so you are more than welcome! After all really it is just a number!

Update me to 140! :cool:
