24 Hours

Well, what do you know, I am now a blogger. 24 hours from now I should have been banded and in recovery. My feelings at this time are all over the place. Anxious, brave, excited, scared. You name an emotion and I have felt it. If I'm not ashamed of using this tool, why are there so many people that are? I feel it is no different than any other tool, less bypass. I've been thru that surgery with my ex, a cousin, a sister, and a good friend, I only know 2 people that have been banded, 1 is an absolute star student, 1 who only lost 20 pounds she said as she had a hot dog in 1 hand and a slurpie in the other.

 

I'm pretty much on my own, I think I must like it that way. I think my fear is change, with change usually comes chaos, and Lord knows I have had enough of that. I have decided to do this after losing 65 pounds on my own and gaining it back over 2 years. That's what pisses me off the most. That I thought I had the battle won, when in fact it had just begun.

I'm right there off you about the weight loss/re-gain pissed-off-ness :) In the beginning of 2011 I lost 55 lbs (by May), and from Sept until December I gained back 40. I also learned that I was an emotional eater!

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow. I was banded about 5 weeks ago and so far am SO happy with my decision. I just wake up every day and tell myself that I can be successful and work with this. The first few months are all will-power and discipline. Every night that I lay down to go to sleep and know that I followed the plan for the day feels like an accomplishment.
