1 Yr. Bandiversary Update

You MORON! I'm a success IN SPITE OF the band!!! How would the band have been responsible for my weight loss if I HAVE NO RESTRICTION/SWEET SPOT?!?!?!

Guess someone flunked reading comprehension!

You really are a miserable human being.  I wish you the best in life but more importantly I wish the best to those who have to deal with you.  Congrats, you're the first person I've ever blocked! 

 
You know, you have always been kind of a pain in the butt since joining OH.  Attacking someone for having band issues is not cool at all.  You are gaining, Maria is losing.  This seems to be typical, those who are doing the least well are the first to attack those who are actually doing what they are supposed to do.  Weird, eh?

Your own signature line shows that it apparently works when you work it.  You got to your goal WITH the band. 

I'm not doing what I'm supposed to so no, it's not working.  Actually that's not accurate, it is working and I'm ignoring it.  I won't blame the band for my initial lack of understanding on what it actually does.  I accept personal responsibility, I'm not losing because I'm not dieting and that's all the band is, a diet and an understanding of what to do and what not to do.  When I do what I'm supposed to I lose, just like you, just like Maria.  If I remember correctly you exercised quite a bit didn't you?  Didn't you run to work it off?  I agree with both of you that this is not what I expected but I can't blame the band.  If I pay attention it tells me I'm not hungry anymore, my brain says that 2 bites is not sufficient, if I'd listen to the band instead of my brain then I lose.  How do you blame the band for that?

We should all start accepting a little PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for where we are in life and realize that without effort on our part nothing will change.  The band doesn't think for you.  YOU CONTROL YOU. 

By the way - I think if you read what I said you'd see that we both sorta think the same thing, the difference is I don't blame the band.  I blame myself for not understand and accepting what it actually does.  It works for a lot of people(including you) but they let it work.  I fight it.

Well as we both see...........reading comprehension is NOT o2b's strength! Lol. She just kind of twists what we say as she goes along. U know.........crap like how she doesn't like reading this, so she blocks me. Then what does she do??? SHE KEEPS COMMING BACK TO MY THREAD!

And btw o2b if u ever bothered to read what ppl write...............yes Wasa did lose weight with the band. She never said she didn't. However the band made her very sick and has caused PERMANENT DAMAGE TO HER ESOPHAGUS!

And since your line says something about "quit whining"...............why do u keep comming back to this thread and whinning about what we write about OUR experiences?!

If u are happy with having a band that u say works...........but u have gained most of your weight back..............but then u just lost b/c u were dieting and excercising.............Anyway if that's what makes u happy then I am happy for u! U are exactly the kind of person that SHOULD have the band!!! :-)

Now if u really don't what to read what I write then just stay off the thread.............easy as that!

 
No darl'en, I lost weight in spite of the band.  Not because of it.

Care to try again?

and I quote "The band got me to goal.." 

You didn't lose the weight before the band, you got the band and lost the weight.  Yes you did it thru diet and exercise, things you weren't doing pre-band so as I said, while it doesn't work the way we'd like it did work.  Instead of ******g and moaning you put in the work.  Congratulations.

 
Another couple of months and the band would have killed me.  Was it worth it?  No.

Yeah, i did the work, not the band.

  Congrats
