HiMow

My husband helped me realize that I had the band put in like a little over a month ago. I feel like it has been so long and I should be losing more, but thats crazy! I'm too obsessed with my weight right now. I need to stop worrying and just let it happen. People obsessed about their weight are annoying and boring. I don't know how I got to this point, I wasn't like this before surgery. I think it's just that I have nothing better to do right now.

YAY!!! that's so awesome!!

aside from a small starvation stint in high school, I havent been under 200 since 7th grade!!!!

GOOD FOR YOU! my dr. office was so lame, I had to be on them constantly. they kept saying they didn't have papers that I had faxed them twice, etc. It took me over a year. Be persistent!!

I got stuck on a piece of shrimp. Sometimes that can be hard to chew.

proper english doesn't annoy me, trite phrases that are not welcomed on my personal blog do, however.

BTW, did you ever get your band date?

I am a fat people. Pretty lame to discredit an article based on an opinion stated to elucidate fact. thanks for the "help":rolleyes:

I am so sure I do not have restriction because I can gulp water and eat ANYTHING!

You use the phrase "that being said." it infuriates me, it is SOOO annoying!!!!! I will read a post up until that line, after that I figure this person has nothing original or worth while to say. HAHA sorry i might just be cranky cause I'm sick, but I also can't stand when people say "DH" I will never say that. It is so ewwwwww!!! I'm sure there are more, but those two just KILL me!!!:smile2:

ALso, The Starvation Myth and one more! http://fattyfightsback.blogspot.com/2009/03/mtyhbusters-starvation-mode.html let's talk about these.

perhaps you should read this study and tell me what you think. The Truth about "Starvation Mode" I think it could be dangerous to tell obese people to eat more calories because they will lose weight. I know I'm not a doctor, but rumors always fly around these boards. Just trying to get the facts.

I know everyone wants to say "oh starvation mode, eat more," but I have a hard time grasping how you could possibly GAIN weight by taking in less than your body needs to function. Maybe someone could explain something about this? Other than my "my doctor said" or "I read somewhere" because I haven't lost in a week and I'm always around 700- 800 calories. I'm afraid to just UP my calories. On the other hand I have lost faster than almost anyone I have seen so maybe less calories Is effective.

I got banded on 12.24.09!

4.8 lbs to go, I have two weeks! I hope I can do it!

I keep thinking, "You lost all of that weight and didn't gain any for three months?!" Thats so cool! A plateau is a blessing in itself!! Don't be discouraged by them!!!!!

i drink up until my first bite, and then wait an hour after my last.

stupid bitches! haha they're so pretty. It's not even my style but I just love tan, blonde, tall beauty queens. Probably because my mother was one. Here I am pale, short, chubby, and have dyed my blonde hair dark for 10 years. I wonder if I will ever be a "babe". I have always wanted to secretly be "mainstream attractive" but my heart just sort of gravitates to an alternative look. I think it stems from my attraction towards alternative ways of thinking. and now i have all these tattoos and piercings. I dont look like a PUNK. At least I don't think so. You can tell I'm edgy.. but thats like how the kids are these days. haha! and I was such a weirdo in high school. Oh... i got married today. It was sweet. At the waterfall by a witch and two witnesses. The real big wedding is in October, but we had to shot gun it for insurance reasons. I am happy to be a MRS. but I will not change my name until October since no one knows about it. SHHHH! I also get my wedding band then, too. It was special and sweet. I love my husband!!!

I told my husband that I want a new setting for xmas next year! Thats an awesome reward and I do not have to worry about this resizing business. P.S. That was the first time I referred to him as my husband. I GOT MARRIED TODAY!

this is some good advice right here!

I think that when you are larger it is a larger difference between sizes. Like an 18 to a 16 may take 25 lbs but a 6 to a 4 would take maybe 10

maybe you are drinking more calories than you know. Do you have juice? It is sort of impossible to gain on 800 a day.

save your fat jeans so you can hold them up for a picture when you reach your goal!

you sound really negative. you're probably making yourself feel worse. Try to be proud of yourself!!
