It's getting easier, I had my surgery on Jan 7th and I got on the scale last night and I have lost a total of 12 pounds I couldnt believe it, it's the one thing that keeps me from going insane now that I dont have my comfort food anymore. This journey is going to be life changing I am so excited to have been givin a chance of a life time to finally lose all this weight. I miss food but I cant make it my life anymore, I am learning that you have to find other things to do to comfort your self instead of always heading to the cupboard or the fridge like I always use to do. I call this stage my detox stage because I no longer have my drug. I love seeing everyone's photos of how much weight they have lost it motivates me to be strong and to be able to get through this. Having this site is nice because it makes me feel that I am not alone, we all have each other....

I am new to this whole blog thing. I had my band surgery on Jan 7th I have to say it was very pain full, thank goodness for pain meds. I didnt think this would be as hard as it is. I never relized how addicted to food I was and how much I do miss eating. This liquid diet is the hardest thing I have ever done, watching my family eat is total torture. I even cried today because I am mentaly drained. I am so use to being able to eat when I was feeling down or stressed or even bored, I feel like it is all been taken away from me. I must be going through withdrawals, it is not fun at all. I try to stay positive and usually at the end of the day I relize that it is going to be worth the wait. I keep dreaming of being in a size 10 or a size 8. I can say I have lost so far 10 lbs yay wooohooo. I am so gald I joined this site as I need support through all of this. I dont think I will ever look at chicken and beef broth the same ever again. Does anyone have any tips on how to handle the mental part of just wanting a pieace of food of some sort instead of all these damn liquids???:thumbdown:
