Forgive Me Lap Band Goddess



Recommended Posts

Don't beat yourself up over a moment of weakness. It happens! Just start back on the right track and eat only what you are suppose to eat. When I give into my weaknesses I exercise longer to work it off.

Have a great day!

we got the bunny when he was only 2 weeks old...he was use to being out of his cage and handled....i gave him an apple slice and he would sit on the kitchen floor and eat the whole slice...i went to the gym last night and didnt take my nikes off...i told my son to let bunz out and gave him a slice of apple...i was watching him eat it and packing my son's lunch at the same time...he decided not to finish his apple slice last night and hopped right under my foot...i stepped on his neck...broke it and he died...my son and i are devasted...we rescued him...he was very ill and too young to b away from his mother...we nursed him back to health and watched him transform in2 a very happy...active....healthy bunny. we both stayed up crying all night...my son referred to his bunny as his brother....since he is an only child....we r going to adopt 2 bunnies 2night hopefully they will have the same personality as our lil bunz....

Sorry to hear about the bunny -- Justmake sure that you do not adopt a male & female or your entire garage will turn into a bunny hutch...It is hard to lose a fur baby.

I was banded Oct 15.. Still not exercising .. Cannot even walk since there is so much rain every day - day & night. I need a boat to cross my back yards.. The neighborhood kids will have to use jet skis and zodiacs for trick or treating .

I also have 2bad knees, 1 replaced - not so good ,, the other one is SHOT and I cannot get in the pool until after 5 weeks.So this is difficult for me .

Don't beat yourself up over a moment of weakness. It happens! Just start back on the right track and eat only what you are suppose to eat. When I give into my weaknesses I exercise longer to work it off.

Have a great day!

Much worse things that you COULD have eaten. As others have said, don't beat yourself about it. Use it as a learning experience. Was the guilt worth it? Probably not or you would not have posted about it. Does the LB Goddess forgive? I think so. She loves all her children.

The Lap Band Goddess needs to forgive me too, LOL. My adult granddaughter lives with me. I'd bought Halloween candy for Saturday but I had NOT opened the bags as I planned to do that just before the kids starting showing up. Well, my granddaughter opened ALL THE BAGS and dumped all the candy in a huge basket and put it on the piano. I stood right there and ate 4 fun size Milky Ways. realized what I'd done and took that basket of candy into her room and DEMANDED to know why she opened all the candy. Her excuse...it "looks nicer in the basket". So I had to explain to her that once the bags were opened the candy was fair game, too easy to snag a piece. Then I told her she had to keep all that candy in her room where I couldn't see it.

She weights like 120 pounds and I know she doesn't understand the concept of closed bags = unavailable. Geez, I was kind of mad at her at first but like I said she doesn't understand. Guess I'll just have to be mad at me, LOL

well you know it would be silly to think that the band magically makes us not want to eat something bad! I look at it this way....if you dont allow yourself to do it every now and then you might have an attack and just binge so dont worry about 1 little ounce! It'll be okay so long as you are aware that you are doing it!

I guess I just don't see one ounce of cream cheese as bad. It is low in carbs and is actually a staple in my daily routine. I eat cheese balls and flatbread crackers multiple times each week. Well, I don't eat the whole cheese ball in one sitting but you get the idea.

You have to have some things you like in your diet or you will burn out. I have never restricted what I ate. I let my band do that. If my band says it has had enough then enough is enough. I just don't sit around eating all the time. THAT would be bad.

Personally, the LapBand Goddess would have nothing to forgive other than that you did not share with her! :thumbup:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
