Finally got my period yesterday !!!! Whew I have been a holy terror lately.  LOL . I was up yesterday but pee'd all night lol and was back down this am! Been putting along . I am off course tighter right now b/c of my TOM so I am taking it slower than usual.  Just checking in mostly doing well. I need to get my a$$ out and do some walking in this fine weather we are having. That would help huh? Hahahaha I am gonna work on that. Today though ,my goal is to flood my body with water.As much as I
 can hold . I want to work on my hydration.So that is my goal for today.:) So far so good ! Oh and get a new avatar pic of me. That one is old !

I am dealing with a little anxiety and depression . It is nothing new for me I have been thru this off and on for a long time. It is also past due for my period .Wish it would show on up .Things usually even out some after it arrives.(TMI ) Anywho.... today I am just going to try to be good to myself and be patient and RELAX a little!
Also on tap I am not going to let myself be triggered into negative posting situations !

Well things are about the same for me . Hanging in there . I have gotta step up my game and start moving my ass and see if that produces a plateau breaking result ! LOL  I blame pretty much myself I have been hobbling along but not busting my ass so it is all on me .LOL  My body loves the 204-207lbs range for some reason. Not complaining too much as it is much better than the 261lbs range !!!!   I had my little unfill and that has helped alot I can now get down dense proteins. i had to cancel my next fill due to ins. issues. The Dr's office told me that my fills were covered 100 % now by my ins HOWEVER 2 wks ago I got a nice fat bill that says otherwise and come to find out after alot of headache.... my ins is applying this to my dedutable since it is a "procedure". So I have a 300.00 bill and could not afford to add to that right now as I am already paying off some things in relation to my surgery.:( So this month I am taking a break .Hopefully will go next month as I am starting to realize if i take my time I can eat more so I will need a fill by then.:)   I am not broke up about not being able to go b/c I was a little scared of being too tight again this soon after my unfill (a month) we were going to play it by ear. Anyways ....
Well the surgery wars continue on here and then yesterday someone posted a link to a post about a study about longterm lapband results . I KNEW I should have not even read it ....LOL but of course I did and I kept it civil but stated my case. I honestly DO NOT think the OP meant to cause any sh*t storms she just posted it but of course there were the usual naysayers as well as several who do not even have bands that were rambling on . I would not even weigh in on a post about another surgery type.Main board or not. If it was headed as ....RNY failures I would not even read it b/c it does not pertain to me.Some people are just negative and want to cram that down everyone else's throat. Or they have too much time on their hands. I have shit today I cannot hardly keep up on the lapband forum much less troll other boards , even the main one,  looking for trouble.
So I read a post from a particular well known band basher and her statistics were WAY off as usual and before I thought about it I posted out of frustration asking where she got them and then happened to remember a part of the above study so I looked and that is where she got it from but had reworded it slightly so I DELETED my post as anyone would do.Well she either read it in the seconds it was up or knows how to access deleted posts b/c she posted a flip comment  over  my DELETED post!!!! So I promptly , and maybe I should not have....hahaha, told her just how I felt about her. I think she is a whiney,bitter, angry person and I did not include the fact there is nothing wrong with her band she just does not work it and chooses to balme it instead of getting her ass in gear and finding out what to do to make it work.JMO !!!!JMO !!!!  I am seriously thinking about taking another break from here and just maintaining my blog. This is so stupid and yeah there is support here but some of the BS you have to take to get thru to get it sucks!!!! I am sick of feeling attacked on our own board as well as other boards . Someone mentioned there should be a haters board and there should !!!! Take all that negativity there. No one really wants to hear it. I am NOT talking about ppl with issues or questions asking or expressing frustrations and fears and such I am talking about the whiney ppl who make you think the band is crap and will never work for anyone! I think they suck and should go on and poison the air somewhere else.
OK PMs rant over for now....can't promise it will not resume !

OK.... I gave in and posted on a "band bashing" post . :( I know....I know ....WEAK ! LOL   I get SO tired of the same ppl coming on here not to objectively give their own experience which happens to be bad but to come on here and day after day try SO hard to make all of us with bands regret it or fear it and those who are looking into bands run in horror! They spout facts and every once in awhile throw out some link to read but make outrageous  claims that the band just does not work most of the time.Maybe I am stupid but there are only a handful of those band bashers on here there are way more ppl here who are having success with their bands. There might be 10 posts on here and they will jump on the one negative one and go ...AHA see the band does not work ! Any complications....here they come ....AHA the band does not work!   If they spent as much time tryin gto work their band or fix their issue as they do on here spouting band hate ....MAYBE they would have had some success .  I know there are those that it does not work out for due to no fault of their own , then there are those who just have crappy Dr and after care and that contributes BUT dare I say there is also , I fear a group that a) had unrealistic expectations for their band and when it did not immediately produce magic results they claim it "does not work". OR B) when they have any problems,which are a risk for all of us, they claim it does not work. NOOOOO....it did not work for YOU.That does not mean it will not work for ANYBODY !!!! Open your eyes and your mind and realize....Not every WLS works for everyone.  There are plenty of ppl on everyone of these boards who are not happy with their surgery choice ....feel it did not work for them....some have even revised . In the long run ....it does not matter which road we take we are all on the same journey ....to LOSE WEIGHT.  I get really pissed about this on here and even take breaks from here because it is SO redundant and aggravating. :(
