You're normal.

Gaining a few pounds is normal too.

This is bandster hell. Try what you can to do what you can, like drinking lots of water and exercise to keep the calories you consume from doing too much damage.

Sorry it stinks horrilby right now. Pouting and being frustrated is allowed. No wallowing in pity or freaking out that you made a mistake.

XO!

Has anyone else seen the film where Rosie and gay families take a cruise?? I have seen it so many times, I love it. I am still amazed that there are idiots out there that don't realize that being in love and being a family does not matter whether you are gay or straight. There was a couple on the cruise that got married that have adopted five children.. how amazing and what an inspiration to us all. If we could all have that kind of love to share, what an awesome gift that would be. When they are married, you can see the love in their eyes. Well, I just wanted to share how I feel about seeing all these wonderful families. So many children would benefit, if only the laws would change.

Thank you everyone for making me feel welcome. I am honored by your hospitality.

I'm so excited! Tomorrow I get to start the soft phase and I'm looking forward to some texture. Heck, I even went out this morning a bought a food scale. I'm ditching the medicine cups! Anyone have a suggestion as what would be good to start out eating?

Hey everyone!

I'm Liz, age 23 and looking into Lap Band. I've been to an informative meeting about the procedure and have met with my surgeon. Now, I need to sit down with someone and figure out how I am going to pay for this procedure since my insurance company says it does not cover weight loss surgery. Alittle about my gay side... I "came out" when I was a freshman in college. Struggled with my religious upbringing and my inner feelings. As of right now, I do not practice any religion. I question a lot of times about there being a "God". Now that I've grown from my past experiences with figuring myself out, I am completely comfortable with my sexuality. Please feel free to chat with me anytime!

Liz

Hi Lookin.

Glad you're here. Hit us up with questions, we are a supportive lot. Your coming out story mirrors a lot of what I've seen, it's a challenge but you seem like you've got a good handle on it. :)

On that note imnanrn, there's a thread for just that question on the ticker but I couldn't find it. Maybe someone can tell you. You could try to hit mine and it will take you tickerfactory.com and follow their directions....I'm of little help.

Hey all.

As of yesterday I FINALLY have some restriction. Before I had 2.5 ccs (in a 10cc band) and could eat anything and everything. Yesterday the doctor upped it to 6ccs and I can definitely feel the difference. I'm still on liquids for another day, but I hope this helps. I've been eating right and working out like crazy and wasn't losing any weight at all so I hope having more restriction finally gets things going again! Argh!

Hope everyone else is well, hello to all the new folks.

xo

Just wanted to drop in and see how everyone is doing and let you know I finally got around to creating my blog (its in the signature line). Also, I have had a cold for about three weeks and it really sucks. I am finally getting better thanks to some good ole antibiotics. I go back to see my doctor next Wednesday. I am not sure if he is going to give me a second fill at this time. I’ll keep ya posted.

I go to the straight forums and haven't been kicked out of those for being queer. I think we can do the same for the straight people who come here. :)

Welcome.
