Unbanded!! I will not pig out!!

In order to get my GB out, they had to deflate my band and decided to leave it that way until the swelling went down. Holy crap, I haven't been free eating since 2005. I will not pig out. I will not pig out. I will not pig out. Since I am unable to work out, there is no chance at working out to get rid of any excess calories. Now, teacher is taking me to a freaking birthday party!!! I will not pig out. I will not pig out.

I hope your body is getting back to normal after the GB removal....I was more sensitive to fatty and greasy food.....and you will NOT PIG OUT......be careful.....are you back to work yet? When is the wedding????

does he ever respond to YOU.. he never responds to me.. and I'm starting to take it personally

First week in August. It is coming at us like a freight train. Teacher is taking two classes for her masters, working full time, and planning a wedding with little help from others. At this point, I am focusing on 9 days in Maui. Nine days in Maui. Actually, things are great. Just very busy until she finishes classes in May (teaching in June).

I hope it works out with the band.. or rather not the band. Good luck question.. just cuz I don't know.. is the band for life does a bander get to have it to work with always.. ? when they reach goal does it stay in but just deflated incase they start gaining.. ? just curious... thanks

I believe you can get it removed whenever, which is the draw to it for many I personally think. sorry to dip into your convo. i just had a strong desire to talk to you apparently.

i would never want mine remove.. cuz I would end up in the same boat as before.. but I guess we are suppose to learning our triggers and working on the inner child of us that causes our *eating* addiction. Like our new pouch it is just a tool.. not a cure all. Thanks.. and feel free to dip anytime for some reason.. *my* eating addiction is a worse animal than *my* drinking addiction.. but it does make me understand how difficult it *can* be for others.

Although they can remove it in extraordinary cir****tances, they normally keep it in. Once you reach goal weight, the challenge is to find the right setting to maintain weight. Under normal cir****tances, I cannot eat much in the way of meat, any hard breads, or certain veggies. If I eat them or eat quickly, I get the pukes. With it totally wide open, I can eat anything without restriction - which is really weird. I am going in for a surgery follow up and the first refill (you have to work back up to the old level). Sorry for not responding more.

that's okay.. you are busy.. and I think I was just feeling needy that day sorry hope you do well. It sounds like how my pouch reacts when I eat what I should like dry chicken.. dry roast.. etc.. lol.. the pukies..

You will not pig out! You will not Pig OUT!!!!! Ok enough of that support, How did you hold up so far for the weekend Brad???
