have a good time at rr tomorrow, y'all; wish i could be there. jamie, you will love the girls; they are soooo supportive.

okay, confession time; i thought that maybe the band wasn't really all that restrictive for me as i don't have "full" feelings. i portion out what i think is appropriate and that is it. well, this morning i arrived early at art class; i was the only one in room for about 20 min. I had a Breakfast sandwich that i had removed one bread portion from, as i have done before. However, my mind was totally elsewhere and I did the following: 1) i took a larger than normal bite; 2) did not chew my 30 times; and 3) took another large bite. all without thinking. suddenly, i experienced the "uh-oh" and immediately tried to take a drink! Wrong!!:tongue::yikes: So I have now officially experienced SLIME and a PB.....gawd, it was awful....i was all alone and thought i was dying! Of course, it passed, but if I thought that my band wasn't really working, I was obviously wrong!:eek:

So, Jamie, don't make the mistake of being distracted as you put food into your mouth! It won't happen again to me!!:tongue:

How did you know that was the ONE thing I'm most worried about?!?!?! :tongue::tongue: I'm scared to death that I'll forget I have a band and just go hog wild for a few bites and then PB and slime all over myself. :eek:

Oh My Goodness Deb!!! I am sorry to hear this!!! Well, I am 9 months out and having PB'd or slimed, but I got so stuck the other day, I feared that my record would be broken! The enemy is being too hungry and taking too large of a bite -- that's my enemy! The old inhale mentality takes over and I forget my new Lapband manners! I feel for you!!

Don't be jealous Deb, but last night, I got to see "our guy's" wife! She was here for her last and final rally! I hope he wins today!!!! She's the sweetest woman!

How did you know that was the ONE thing I'm most worried about?!?!?! :lol::) I'm scared to death that I'll forget I have a band and just go hog wild for a few bites and then PB and slime all over myself. :lol:

Don't worry! If it happens once, you'll remember next time. I am 9 months out and it hasn't happened yet. Stuck yes! Leftovers heated in the microwave and being super hungry was my problem! No PB or sliming yet. Boy was I scared it was coming back up!

Dee!! Soap! Don't forget the soap! Consider this your official reminder... :lol:

Going to the airport now! OMG IT'S REALLY HAPPENING!!!!! :cursing::w00t::laugh:

Okay Sister! I just talked to you on the phone! I'm home now and I'm going to get the soap and put it next to my purse, keys and camera! I'm going to the hairdresser at 1700 to get my color done, so I hope she doesn't fix my hair in an ugly way! If I am late, I am sorry. Denvergirl should be there - get us a big table, round is best for conversations and I'll get there as soon as possible! I can't wait to see you Jaime Girl!! AND all the other Banditos!

Jaime's "leaving, on a jet plane...." That was me serenading you guys. Just be glad you couldn't really hear it in person!!!

GREAT! I haven't been hugged a long time! Probably since Deb and Denvergirl met me at the Atlanta Bread Co. So I'll take all the hugs I can get! A girl can get pretty lonely being single!

Thanks for the singing! Very pretty voice!!!

Hugging you back!!:thumbup:

Aw Deb you poor thing. Doesn't take much to remind us how to eat. A PB will do it for sure.

You know after awhile the BITE will feel like it is too much. I've spit out food on occasion because that PB pain is not something I'm eager to experience. Lucky for me my dog is more than happy to take that bite off my hands!

      Hey guys new to the process looking forward to this new life.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
