2 weeks PostOp

I am so happy that after 2 weeks I am really doing well. I'm back to excersing, still on liquids for 1 week but over all feeling physically well. My scars are healing really well and I see my surgeon Monday and am really excited. The hardest part is the first 6 weeks just making it through the liquid/puree phase but still looking forward to my first fill, hopefully before New Years Day. After reading a lot on the forums I think still the only thing that makes me uneasy is the thought of trigger foods and temptations. I see its a issue for a lot. Just gotta keep moving forward, this is going to be a good journey!

Dear Me,

Dear Me, Are you ready? Soon you are going to be making a change. Soon you are going to have surgery! Are you ok? Love, Me   OMG!!! I am so excited, I probably should be a little nervous, I mean after all I am CHOOSING to have surgery. But years of trying different diets, programs and pills, this is it. My mind is so wrapped around making this a success. Granted I'm PreOP as of today and at PostOP have 6 weeks of liquid/puree, I feel I am in the right place in my life and mind. I have filled my tool belt so when my surgery is complete I will have ALL the tools I need. My family is behind me 100%, my husband is totally excited for me becaue he knows of all the sadness being overweight has brought me. He's excited too, because he's going to be eating better and losing along with me. I'm not one to think about the future or worry about it but I am thinking about it now, and what its going to mean for me. It all feels so right! :bored:

Anticipation...

Well... November 18th is the big day! Lots of thoughts running through my mind today. I think I have gotten myself in the right frame of mind to do this and make it work 100%. After all the appointments and waiting, I can not and will not fail. As I lose I need to keep reminding myself why I did this, and where I have been. I feel the hardest part is going to be changing my mind on how I feel about food. We've had such a relationship over the years and its going to be hard to break up, but I can't let it run my life any more. It has truly been a bad drug. It has only been a quick fix and I am going to work on my mind, to know a quick fix never really fixes any thing.

Nervous

Well, I've done all the required tests, now just awaiting approval.   I'm sure I am not alone, but I'm feeling nervous about the way the LAP-BAND® is going to change my life. Don't get me wrong, I am happy to have a tool available but I still worry about keeping the weight off and changing my mind set. I guess after so many other attempts at losing then gaining I can't help but think about this.   I have a family member who recommended this to me, and I am truly excited because of her success. I just need to get the thoughts to move on and make this my OWN success!
