I hate it when people post just to post.....



Recommended Posts

I hate using library computers. One hour per day is just not enough time for my lap band talk addiction.

BBk, They are probably not letting you exercise, are they? I would freak out if I couldn't exercise. It's my stress reliever. Being unfilled wouldn't be as bad, but being unfilled and not being able to exercise is just plain scary!

Yeah, thanks for that reminder...lol...blah....

I will be returning to it next week though, walking can't kill me. And if it does, I will be still a small so I will be happy. :lol: Sick aren't I?

Anyone watching women's volleyball? Seriously I thought I was tall, but 6'7". WOW! Amazing! :tongue:

Sorry, I've been AWOL. I was letting some guy I just met put a camera up my butt. :biggrin:

They found some polyps too so now I have to come back and get it done again in a few years. :smile:

Wow thats an interesting first date :biggrin:

Sorry that you have to have it again though Mac :smile:

I'm just home from work. Working 2 jobs sucks. I want my weekends back. No "me" time turns me into a whiney bitchy bitch. Well, more so that usual.

BBK, you look absolutely amazing! Anyone who doesn't think so needs to shove it up where the sun don't shine.

MacMadame, I am sorry that you had someone put a camera where the sun don't shine. Better safe than sorry though.

As for me, this is my official Sunday morning happy post!! :biggrin::thumbup::smile::thumbup:

After struggling for the past year, being overfilled, slipping my band, being afraid to get a fill due to the fear of being overfilled again and gaining way too much weight, I think I am finally back at my sweet spot. My wonderful doctor called me and said I hadn't been in for over five months and it was time to come in. I went in. He saw how much weight I gained and asked me what happened. I told him, no restriction and afraid of being overfilled. He then promptly gave me the kick in the butt I needed. He said I got the band for a reason, and that was to lose weight. He said his job is to get me to a healthy BMI. He informed me I wasn't going to like him very much, but he was going to give me an aggressive fill in which I wouldn't be able to eat more than 8-10 bites of food at a time. He said it was going to force me to relearn the bandster rules of taking tiny bites and chewing my food to mush, otherwise I was going to be pretty darn uncomfortable. Well, he was right, the first couple of days I didn't like him much. I pb'd like crazy. Then, I started practicing my long since abandoned bandster rules of eating. To my surprise, when I eat like a bandster should, I don't pb and I get full fast. And, I lost 5 pounds this week!! I am so thankful to have a doctor who isn't afraid to be a hard-ass with me when he knows that is just what I need. Hopefully, I am back on track now and no longer afraid of getting a fill when I need it.

Posting to post that the USA men's basketball game is making me nervous and I don't even like basketball! How are the Spaniards doing so well against our HIGHLY paid guys? :-X

Mac - sorry that you have polyps but I am so glad they found them before they turned into anything. One of my gf's just found out she has breast cancer and she's mid-40's. I'm just praying they found it early and it isn't in her lymph nodes.

Thanks all. This is one time I will NOT be listening to Dr's orders.

Mac--I am so sorry. I have been there, not fun at all. My thoughts are with you!

Sick--lol...I agree.

I agree. What's the point of having these BMI ranges and pushing people to get into them if they freak out when we do?

Well it's not all bad. I seemed to have dropped 3 lb. and it doesn't appear to be coming back like I figured it would. In fact, today my scale flashed 199.5 before settling on 200.5. Too bad it's not my official weigh in day. :(

      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.
