slow road to banding

I am sure that Im not the first and certainly wont be the last to travel this long road to banding. *sighs* I received my second copy of the weight loss surgery disc today (as the first one arrived with a crack) and wondered where i could get this type of money from. personal loan grrr still like the idea of the superanuation payment scheme money from the sky maybe?.... hmmm i know.... maybe i can sell of some of the gifted bottles of wine that have backed up in my house (not just the pantry) (ps my friends havent worked out that i dont drink wine yet lol)or just trade them for a winning lotto ticket! speed up the process a little....maybe. seriously wish there was a bit more money in the bank!   i had my knee surgury on tuesday to repair knee damage (suprise suprise) and could only dream that they do the band while i was numb and hope to god i never ever had to have another metal rod shoved into my spinal cavity ever again! (please tell me banders are knocked out and there is no grinding sounds and weird bending sensations!)   I really wish this process wasnt so long. As if the months of 'pro'ing and 'con'ing wernt crazy enough. At least there is more mental space to start cutting down nasties and continue to *try* and reprogram the little man in my brain that switches the light on when im doing something that i really shouldnt be. in the dark and oblivious has to stop now!!!   now about those bottles of wine!!!!!

"but you won't be able to eat buffet"

When i heard these words i almost felt my brain rattle in my head!   Reality is its going to take a long time to get use to the changes of lap band (should i get approval) not only the physical dinner out or lunch out with the girls, but the mental attitude that got me in this horrid position in the first place. I am scared of such an abrupt change in lifestyle, but it WILL be a very big insperation and reminder to.... stop eating the crapppp. stoppit!!! jussssst stoppppitttttt. such simple words....such a massive concept..... pffft. did someone say **massive**:biggrin:

first steps towards lap band/new life surgery

I have had the paper work for so long and finally bit the bullet and worked up enough gumption to see my GP. The time is right! My baby is 6 1/2 mts old and I lost 14Kg in pregnancy from my pre pregnant weight 17 kg all up.   I have had my first trip to the GP and have been totally excited/scared and out of my scone since making that first move. My weight has been out of control all my life and every time i throw my fat clothes away, i seem to stack on the weight again. Can't seem to keep it off.   I'm so ready to make the commitment and have the help and suport that WILL change my life. The butterflys in my belly tell me i am really excited about losing the weight again, for life.

1.5kg/3.3 pre band loss

In the paper work i got from the docs, i was told to consider weight lost in preperation. i joined a local slimmers club last week that promotes healthy eating for life. i did my first weekly weigh in tonight and lost 1.5kg/3.3lbs woo hoo. i am so proud of myself. i drove all the way home with a smile on my face knowing that i had a personal win for myself.   I think i finally found the button that makes me question what the hell is going in the *in* door. thank god im not tracking the out doors while questioning my brains ability to push buttons!

Another step closer to the dream

yayyy I got my first letter from the hospital with a 3 month time frame to see a surgon. Baby steps I know, but...every step is in the right direction. I sat staring at the paper work for hours yesterday and couldnt even imagin the impact this kind of surgury would have on my life. It really is only a dream of sustainable outcomes. Outcomes that should last longer than the yo yo rollercoster that I am only wayyyy to happy to disembark!!!!   I have no idea how I would look in a smaller persons body... but totally want it this time. I have cut my food intake to a sensible level and it feels great. I'm also looking to start excercising again after the stiches in my knee are removed. (over due knee surgery after 11 months of pain)   Such a life changing step and excited about it and the chance to be a success story like so many of the people on this site. a chance to get it rite. not stuff it up, a reason to really make it happen, and a reminder to myself of the deep commitment I am actively seeking.   Im on the way kids!!! Im DOIN' IT IT'S TIMEEEEEE
