Really? I think its funny! I really like the one where the lady throws them under a gals chair while she's being snotty on her cell. Then she gets attacked by 20 pidgeons. Ha!

What happened to Dan?

It's hard for those of us to even find the newbies sometimes. It's not that people who have been banded awhile are snobbish, it's just that living with the band has become a way of life. We don't have the questions so we don't go board hopping hoping to find the answers.

Sometimes when I have the time, I will click on new posts and try to answer people's questions. Since I am on a computer all day at work, I just don't feel like being on here as much as I did when the band was new and I needed to read as much as I could to learn about how to live with the band.

I am on the 50's thread all the time, because that's where I started. I was over 50 when I got banded and I wondered if weight loss would be the same as it is for younger people.

I usually check out the girl's room, because there can be some interesting conversations in there. Sometimes we just get sick of only talking about the band.

I am a post-bander now!

So does that mean I get to be snobby now? lol

I generally think we are all here to help each other out....no matter where any of us are in the process.

Yes. There's a special class on Tuesdays and you'll be getting your toaster in the mail soon as well.

Yup you get a toaster because burnt toast is about the only way you're gonna get bread down!

No I'm not criticizing your diet... I'm disgusted with myself that any mention of Cheetos makes me want to run up to the Q.T. and grab a bag. And I'm not talking them puny 100 cal bags. So far I haven't given into it, thank goodness.

But I gotta say that I was relieved when Little Debbie Nutty Bars weren't recalled. Can't keep those in the house either, but you never know when you might really need one.

I haven't seen those commericals. Does anyone besides me remember when Roseanne Barr first started with stand up, she would carry around a big bag of puffy cheetos and gnaw on them during the show?

I'm afraid to ask (addictive person that I am) but what are funyuns?

If they're not ice cream, it's probably okay for me to know about 'em.

I hate that cheetos commercial where the vengeful bitch wipes orange goo over the prissy bitch.

AFter careful study, Glou, I say that bitch deserved it.

I would have thrown those under her chair too.

      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.
