GG'S Lapband Journey June 2008
Hi all
Welcome to my first blog entry:thumbup::biggrin2:…over the next few months I will blogging my lap band journey. A bit of background first though:
Im 25 and have been overweight since I can remember, I have done all of the fad diets, starving myself, drinking protein shakes only, diet pills, reducing my portion sizes, slimming clubs…you name it ive done it! My problem is I have no problem in loosing the weight its just keeping it off. This year I finally decided to do something once and for all about my weight and am going to be banded. I am trying to get banded on the nhs (national health service) but I will have a few hoops to jump through first. Even if I am excepted im not to sure how long the wait is going to be. So in the mean time I have found a private surgeon who will do the op and have provisionally booked it for sept. Hopefully by that time the nhs will have gotten back to me and I will know what is what!
Im currently 392lbs (cant believe im telling you all) I normally the kind of person, if you ask me what I weigh I will start going into one and have a hissy fit, it none of your business blah blah!! Lol lol
But im praying to God that it wont be seeing that number for much longer. Because I am so heavy I am embarking on a diet to try and loose as much as I can before the op. I will be doing a pre op diet from the 4th august to skrink that sexy liver of mine lol! So if you wanna here me cuss and complain stay tuned for that one lol.
At the moment I am trying to make healthier food choices and step up my exercise. The exercise part I am struggling with, (any excuse lol) part of me thinks get your lazy ass up and do it and the other half thinks, ahhh …..the pain. I find it really hard to walk at the mo because of the pain in my joints but I have taken up swimming since last sept and do enjoy it. I only go to one class a week but that can defiantly be stepped up. Since I have decided to get banded I have been having some funny dreams…..in one im prancing about in a bikini, in another ive got ripped abs!! Ripped abs??? lol lol I could give you a six pack roll of fat right now…lol
But in all seriousness , I know that this is the best decision I have made and whether it be down the private or nhs route, Stay tuned……
