Calling all bandsters!!

gurl...i hate it..it is such a pain, i had that happen to me today as a matter of fact, i went in so hungry...took three bites and was done.. they even offered to fix me something else...i'm like geeze just leave mne the **** alone already...lol..it is very annoying, but i can appreciate that they are just doing their job in making sure the customer is happy...

Words of wisdom, solidarity, and comfort.  Thanks Ma.

Uh...Am I sensing a sista girlfriend exhale over drinks moment approaching?

Us RNYers have that unpredictability with our pouch sometimes too.  From eating just a bite, to eating everything on our plate and our kids, to the random dry heaving, to the loud and embarrassing stomach growling.  UGH!!!

How-be-the-ever...I KNOW your flat tummy without plastics azz ain't complaining!  I don't feel sorry for you AT ALL!   Kick rocks!  I have bigger fish to fry! 

Wait! Terri never had plastic surgery? Stop complaining TErry! 

Yes ma'am!!  You know I'm always ready for a sistergirfriend moment.

It's good to know it's not just a bandster thang.  Wonder tool powers, unite!!  (You might be too young to remember that one). 

Yeah, I'm complaining . . . just for a few.  I have to plan my nervous breakdowns. 

Thank you Terri.  I am so glad to hear a seasoned bandster say that they long to eat more.  Yes I know it's sad and the reason we got the band is to eat less.....but some days I really would like to eat the WHOLE THANG!  It is truly a love hate relationship.  Some days you can eat and other days it's best to do liquids.  We must be doing it right because we are all having the same situation. 
Bottomline:  I ate whatever I wanted for years now it's somebody elses turn.  LOL

You are so right. 

The big girl in my head is never too far away.  I still love her, but I'm grateful that my tool will chase her azz down the block when I don't want to.  

and listen think about this, we don't dump, don't take thousands of vitamins and supplements, when we stop losing we can kick start it again without surgery..just a lil fill will do..when we get sick or tired of not being able to eat we can get an unfill...damn if we get really tired of it we can have it removed..why in the hell would we ever do that!!lol...we are soooo damn lucky..even when we hate our band we love that lil biotch...i think imma give mines a name..lol

Hey there.  I recently had my port replaced and a few cc's added.  Dayum! I have restriction like never before.  Actually I am probably a bit too tight.  Since I developed a seroma I'm a little too swollen for them to easily access my port. 

Some days I want to be able to enjoy something as simple as a salad.  I want to eat something with a bit more consistency than oatmeal or cottage cheese.

Its awesome to be seeing the scale move again, but somedays I wan to just sit and enjoy a meal, not have to run from the table because a PB is on its way up, and not gurgle throughout the meal.

Hey Michelle.

Hang in there, and be careful.  I've never been so tight that it required an unfill.  It's difficult to find the balance between good restriction and being too tight, so take it easy until the swelling goes down.
