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:

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.

      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.
