I did it!! Finally under 300!
peprmentpati replied to kmshea81's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
WooHoo!!! Congrats, you're doing Excellent!!! -
How often do you weigh yourself (daily, weekly, monthly, never) and why? P.S. I've been weighing myself everyday since I started my journey. It hasn't bothered me one bit until today because it said I went up by two pounds. I'm still working on my whole "perfection" issues. Just curious what the rest of you folks do...

Donna1959 - thanks for your response. I've always been cool with the scale but, I think I was just having a down day. I'm going to continue weighing in daily and just make peace with the scales again. dman - Congrats on your new journey. Yes, I do know where you're coming from! Rebecca -
It's happening to me as well!!! First off my period was almost a month late but the entire time before it came I was extremely emotional among other PMS symptoms. BTW, I was banded on 5/19/10. This may not be encouraging, but my theory, for myself is that I was always like this (except the late period). Now, I don't hide my feelings (depressed, irritated, etc.) with overeating and over-consumption of fats, sugars, salts, and other JUNK! Rebecca

Thanks Denise! Very Insightful, and congrats on your success! Rebecca -
I wish I were 250!!! Congrats to you! So far the weight has just been falling off. I eat mostly proteins, I do have carbs but no breads, sweets, sodas, or anything like that. Oh, and no crackers, chips, popcorn - you know, any of the things I would eat like, daily. LOL. I've been going to the gym maybe 3 times a week. But today I was beating myself up because the stupid scale said I went up 2 f'ing pounds. I'm still working on my emotional baggage that I carry!!! Take it easy Sister!

Flying, Cabin Pressure and the Band
peprmentpati replied to Drasan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My NP at Fill Centers USA told me that the cabin pressure will affect your band. Her advice was to not eat 1 hour before flight, during flight, or 1 hour after your flight. You can drink, but don't eat. -
Hello over there!
Thanks for the add and best of luck with your banding!! I love your avatar pic!!

So I have an eating disorder.....
peprmentpati replied to lovinlife4eva's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey! I myself am a recovering food addict. I have binged for years, sometimes I would purge, or go on starvation diets. My whole life revolved around food and negative thoughts. I see a therapist and have done so for almost 4 years now. I've also done hypnosis, and as cliche as it may sound to some, I found Jesus. I am not even 2 months post-op and I've lost 66 pounds. I did have a lot of obsessive food thoughts during the first 3 weeks of recovery. I would watch the food network think about food all day long, but I never ate any. I spoke with my therapist about that and she suggested that I find another hobby - she is right. Thankfully, all of those obsessive thoughts have left me, and with them the desires. It's not a bad idea to seek the help of a therapist or maybe O.A.. I pray everyday that my old patterns not return. I hope that you find relief from yours! God Bless, Rebecca -
