Well,it has now been 24 days since I was banded and some times it feels like it was forever ago. I know I am eating a lot less than I did before but I am still dealing a great deal with head hunger. I suppose it will always be that way. Being able to come here and talk to others has helped. I still cheat. I had a cookie yesterday and today. There is a time not so long ago that I would have eaten more than one. I also had some ice cream tonight. It's like it calls to me, "Psssst! Hey you! You know you want me. It'll be alright." I know I have lost in size because I wore a blouse and pair of pants that I haven't worn in quite a while to church Sunday. I wore my hair pinned up and people were telling me I looked different. Most don't know I've been banded. My other milestone is that I went to Sam's Club saturday and actually walked through it. I have been having to ride the Old Fart's cart for the last year because it hurt so much to walk. I also walked tonight when I had to go to the grocery to pick up a few things. Small victories. I know some would not think of these things as victories. I am going to try to get motivated to go check out Curves tomorrow or Wednesday. And after my first fill I am going to see about going back to aquatic fitness at the indoor pool. I did that 7 years ago and really enjoyed it. I had even started lap swimming. I gave up and gave in and stopped going. It's hard to get motivated again. Every night I go to bed with good intentions for tomorrow. Tomorrow comes and I just can't seem to get myself to do anything. I can't seem to get up the nerve to leave the house. I think the problem is that I have not actually set a goal. If anybody reads this post and has any suggestions to help get me off my butt, I'll gladly hear them. I need to get out of this depression I seem to stay in too. I know I'm good for something,but I just haven't found it. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Tomorrow is a new day- Every small step is a milestone - that you are walking instead of riding at the store is AWESOME~ I agree you need to set goals - I set small goals like 10 lbs in a month - For me I think I will set long term goals once I become more sucessful - You need to find an excercise that will not put to much stress and expectations for yourself so you will look foward to it and not DREAD it-- The pool is a great tool - it is easy on the limbs and you get strenth excercise at the same time from the water resistance - even just walking in place for 20 minutes will burn 200 calories :lol: You can do this - KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK - Email me if you need a buddy I think we had our surgery about the same time deboramo@att.net

Tomorrow will be better. Hang in there. It's hard when you still have the hunger. I was banded with nothing in my band so I'm getting getting to the point that my hunger is leaving. (was banded on 12/9/10) this doesnt mean that it will take you that long. I had to keep reminding myself that once I do get the restriction I need I dont want to start all over again losing the weight that I gained after banding. You have been doing a great job getting more active. After years of a sendentary lifestyle, it took a while for me to get back into fitness, but I did and I love it! You will too! Good luck!

Don't put of going to curves, once you get started it will become a habit. I go there 5 mornings a week and also bike ride after. I started out walking then added curves and now riding my bike! I will be 3 months out on the 4th and have dropped 67 pounds so I am half way to my goal. As for ice cream, I buy weight watchers and treat myself with one aday so I don't eat something bad! Good luck, you can do it.

I think your doing great so far, my goal is to be down 50 Pounds before my husband gets home for R&R from Afgan, I cant wait to see the look in his eyes when he sees me! Another goal is im a shopaholic and once I do lose the 50 pounds I get to go buy me some new jeans off the shelf. Keep up the good work and if u want to cheat have one day a week where u can have a small something that way ull be looking forward to your cheat day
