I just want to thank everyone for the kind words and support. I'm feeling better and think "ranting" here is what helped. I've scheduled another fill and I'm going to address some of my issues with the doctor then. Thanks again!

Was anyone banded in December of '06?
Maurdan replied to thebionicbroad's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks for the encouragement. Amazingly, "ranting" here seemed to have helped. Now, I understand why people use these forums as support. I thought just reading them would help, but actually getting my feelings out there seems to have lifted a weight off me (no pun intended!). I've scheduled another fill appointment and I'm going to address my issues with the doctor. I'm feeling better. -
Thank you for all the kind words. I've scheduled another fill and I'm going to talk to the doctor about this when I go. It helped venting here, though!

I don't know. I appreciate the offer. I guess I just have to work on my head issues! -
Tell me your story I can't pick a MX surgeon!!

It's obvious to me they're on a crusade to vilify Wasa. I ignore them. -

I'm ready to give up. I just can't get my head on straight. I'm resenting the band when it's ME who can't do the work. I'm so disgusted with my lack of progress and the fact that it's all my fault. I just don't know what to do. I can't make it through one friggin' weak of eating right. (Sorry you asked???) -
Thank you for approving me for the Yahoo group. I really need some inspiration. I'm almost to the point where I hate my band. That sounds awful, but it's true. I don't know why I can't do this. It's so frustrating! I think I need psychiatric help! Those of you who have had awesome success, how do you stay motivated? How do you keep going? What keeps you eating the right way and not eating crap? Maurdan

i am staying on plan today because ...
Maurdan replied to losingjusme's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I gave up going to Typhoon Lagoon and out to dinner in order to stay on this plan. I'm not going to ruin today now! Btw, losingjustme... when you do your free days (once a month I think?) is it hard to get back on track? I've done free days before, usually once a week (eek!) and sometimes I extend them into free weekends, etc... -

Maurdan replied to losingjusme's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I stayed on plan today because I was determined that, for once, I was going to start being "good" on a Saturday and not use the weekend as an excuse to pig out so I could "start again" Monday. I will stay on plan tomorrow because I am disgusted with my lack of progress and disappointed in MYSELF and starting to doubt the decision to get the band. Yet, I know it's MY fault and not the band's. -
Perfect! I feel better now. I know it's vain, but I really didn't want to wear it.
-
I went ahead and ordered mine last night. One question... Do you have to actually wear the watch? Or can it work if you just put it on your desk, etc.?

It looked to me like they all did, except during the weigh-in. At first I thought it was only the Blue Team, but then I saw it on all players.
-
Awesome experience. I would do it again with him in a heartbeat. In fact, I wish I could go back for my fills just to see them all again.

Dr. Rumbaut here. Would do it again in a heartbeat with him and his team. -
Mexico...here I come!!!!! (I think!!)
Maurdan replied to BlueEyedKitty's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
You will be fine! The whole team is wonderful. And re: the passport issue. My understanding is that has been suspended because they are so far behind in processing passport applications. Definitely check with the airline/travel agency before going, though. -
I have a BMI over 50, but I honestly love Shallow Hal. Some of the jokes are stupid, fat jokes but I thought the overall storyline was good.

I agree. He should have to live with all the inmates and deal with the consequences. Sick fuck.

I'm so glad you're posting again! You are an inspiration to this slow loser.

eating more at dinner than the rest of the day
Maurdan replied to ShannonRT's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Sorry! I suffer from the can eat more at dinner thing, too. Very frustrating really. I've just come to accept it. -

Count me as one who loves it! Now if we can work on "could of" and "should of." -

What's wrong with the protein bullets? -
It's best to start off with the structures since that is the foundation for cooperative learning. Then, I'd attend their Multiple Intelligences one. I heard Win-Win discipline was good, but I never got to attend.
-
Almost all of them. Great ideas.

I started the Crystal Light thread. Their Fruit Punch gives me headaches if I drink a lot of it.

A thread for super-sized bandsters - starting BMI over 50?
Maurdan replied to Wheetsin's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was on a clear liquids only pre-op diet for TEN DAYS. Pure hell! I didn't cheat once. Even though it got really hard, it made the post-op diet feel like heaven.
