Courtney Love has the band??



Recommended Posts

Grrrr....

Ok so they are now saying Courtney Love got the band. Which I would have no problem with it, except she denies it and here is what she says...

The former Hole singer has lost over 44 pounds (20kg) in four months which she publicly credited to a macrobiotic diet of vegetables and fish, and yoga.

However, Love - the widow of Kurt Cobain - has reportedly admitted to friends her dramatic weight loss is down to surgery.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "She's telling people she has had gastric band surgery. She even said she has to sleep with a towel by her because the surgery makes her throw up all the time and is worried she won't be able to make out with anyone because of her breath."

Love's representative denies she had a band fitted. He claims he has dined at macrobiotic restaurants with the star. He said: "It's not true. She says she never got surgery."

Grr.....if you didn't have surgery then fine, if you did stop making it out to be a nightmare....how do you all feel about this??

I have heard the conflicting reports, too. If she did have the surgery and she is throwing up all the time, there is something very wrong. Why do people think that is normal? No one should be throwing up all the time after lapband surgery--maybe she has too much restriction, and needs to be unfilled. We will probably never know the truth though.

ROTFL...Carlene I ditto you exactly! :)

I just love you! :)

Thank you, Kitty. I love you, too. Especially your screen name. I used to have a Boo Boo Kitty. I had to change his name from Daffodil after someone pointed out to me that "she" was a boy cat. So I named him "Boo Boo". Every time I tell someone that story, they ask me if the cat was yellow. No....he was solid black. I have no idea what inspired me to name him Daffodil. I was about 9 years old....LOL.

lol...your Boo Boo Kitty sounds like my rabbit Chopper formerly Maggie. :)

We had to change her name after getting a male to breed her with, and well fiding out that there was no way they could make babies, both being male and all... :) But sad to say I was 29 when I made the mistake... :)

Boo Boo Kitty is my beautiful kitty too.

How was she ever big enough to be approved for the band if its true? She was what, maybe 25 pounds overweight? She looks awful (well more awful than before now). So gaunt and thin. I want my band to work, but I don't want to lok like that!

She's jsut living proof that you CAN be too skinny. When you get older you just cant wear it so well. It makes me feel quite justified in reaching my goal near the top of my healthy weight range and not killing myself to lose more. She looks quite severely underweight, and her poor stomach in other pictures is empty and flabby. There does come an age where you jsut look better if you cover up a bit more. I saw another pic of her yesterday wearing a one piece costume and she looked so much better.

I doubt she has a band, I think she's had most of it sucked out.

If that's her 4 months post op, I imagine you would still be able to see her scars, even if faintly.

That was in a tabloid right? I would think they would have highlighted the scars not tried to hide them. I don't think she had the band, she has always bounced her weight up and down. I don't care for her, but if she is happy that's great. I know that I would be proud if I was able to lose that much weight on my own, fighting with drug addiction, the constant spotlight and being a single mom. Good for her however she did it as long as she is healthy. ~Mandy

Courtney Love makes me throw up. I have to have a towel handy when I watch TV, just in case. :)

You go girl! I think she's a skank (sorry, but the truth hurts) and an insult to women, period.

Well, the almighty dollar speaks and I'm sure she got a big chunk of change from Kurt's death....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
