Recommended Posts

ROFLMAO! Since she put it in "" quotes and since the rest of her post was pretty nice....but I did make that connection and it made me laugh! :thumbdown:

I've been called many things but never a tool...yet! :biggrin:

There's always time, though! :crying:

luluc I'm not shocked you have crazed friends LOL :thumbdown: :biggrin:

hey now!!! - HA!!

honestly - this banding is one of the very few things i have taken seriously. i'm told i'm very lax, which is why i'm less concerned with how someone loses weight here, what plan their on - rather that they get the desired results.

Personally I think it's just food, not murder, not pedophilia, not stealing. I don't think of food as being a sin. I think that all ties in with the "fat people are lazy and dumb and have character flaws" mentality. it's just food. I'm past having to feel guilty if I eat a cookie. Because I have the lap band and my "relationship" with food is different. I don't count or weigh or fret. I'm just eating normally and I'm fine. My thin friends don't say "OH I SINNED yesterday". Don't mean to be pompous, but I think that for many of us, food is too darned important. This just adds to it. It's fuel. It's not a moral dilemma. Ok off my soap box and on to my first 16 oz of Water today.

I get what your saying and you are right but sometimes you just have to vent and get things off of you chest. I know you said that you are now past feeling guilty which is great i can't wait to get to the point that I don't feel guilty but some of us just take longer to get to that point. We didn't get fat overnight we arn't going to break all of our emotional habbits overnight. Oh and i do have thin friends that are like "OH my god i eat one twizzler today i could just die" LOL. Thanks for your post i alway love to read everyones take on things

I will be banded 7/24, went to the dr today for last appt and instructions pre-op. Lost 12lbs and I was thrilled! So for a reward went to Panera's for an apple, chicken salad. Good right? Then to reward myself some more I had a mini bundt upsidedown pineapple cake. It was 4pm needless to say that around 9pm I was hungry again so I had a cucumber sandwich. Yep I was a bad girl....tomorrow will be a day of just Protein Shakes.

I eat dessert once or twice a week. Reese's Peanut Butter cups, ice cream, apple strudel, whatever. I'll have a few drinks once a week or so too.

Life's too short to not enjoy yourself occasionally. If my weight loss is slower than it otherwise would been then that's fine. Still losing, still feeling great.

This is not a diet, this is me for the rest of my life. I have no intention or desire to not enjoy myself.

      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.
