DETERMINED*DG

I HAVE FINALLY MADE THE DECISION TO PROCEED WITH MAKING THIS LIFELONG COMMITTMENT! MY OUTLOOK ON LIFE HAS CHANGED TREMENDOUSLY SINCE IVE BECOME A MOMMY! I HAVE CHOSEN TO GO WITH LAP-BAND BECAUSE IM DETERMINED TO GAIN MY LIFE BACK! I WANT TO BE HEALTHY AND COMFORTABLE IN MY SKIN! IM NERVOUS, EXCITED AND SCARED ALL MIXED TOGETHER.
IM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR MY APPROVAL AND WAS ADVISED BY MY PHYSICIAN TO START THE "PROTEIN DIET!" (IS IT ME OR IS IT HARD FOR EVERYONE TO CUT OUT ALL FOODS AND DO JUST PROTEIN SHAKES?) IM A WEEK INTO THIS AND IM ADAPTING. A LOT OF READING AND RESEARCH HAS HELPED ME. (REASON IM A NEW REGISTERED MEMBER!) I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG JOURNEY AND I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER READING THESE POSTS! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR POSTS AND SHARED EXPERINCES, IT FEELS GOOD TO KNOW OTHERS HAVE THE SAME THOUGHTS.
AS I WAIT FOR MY APPROVAL, I INTEND ON WATCHING MY DIET AND STAYING FOCUSED ON EXERCISE AND WHATS AHEAD OF ME.
THANKS AGAIN AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL! <3
