I told EVERYONE!!! It was my family..(2 sisters, 1 bother & Mom) Pushing me to get some kind of WLS anyway, finally when I decided on the Band and explained to them how it worked They were all so thrilled.. sometimes I think they are more excited then I am. My in-laws know, All my moms friends know (they pray alot) My aunts, uncles, cousins,..... Even a friend of mine I had not seen in 8years I saw her this last weekend, talked to her on the phone yesturday and I told her. Yeah just about everyone knows, and they are all so happy for me.

Im not afraid of not eating, Im not afraid of PBing, Im not afraid of pain, Im not afraid of gas..... I AM, afraid, of trading one addiction for another!!! Now my addiction is FOOD. And when I can't have that food I don't want to replace it. I never knew how much food REALLY affected until now. I knotice things more now then I did before I decided I was going to be banded. For example: Yesturday I had Ramon Noddles for lunch I was good not hungry but an hour later out of the blue i warmed up leftovers and ate that. WHAT! I wasnt even hungry! Anyway the addiction im scared of is Alcohol, it runs in my family... on both sides My mom and My dad. I wont list everyone in my family thats an alcoholic the list is to long. Has anyone replaced Thier Food addiction with something else? How did you deal with it? Thanks

WOW Way To Go!!! Janie!!! you are doing awesome.... Great Job.. keep up the work!! Take Care!! WOOHOO

Oh Dear Lord..... I didnt know her.. and talked her often but this... I dont know waht to say... "Lord take special care of this one.. for she has helped so many, the life she has lived has been so plenty, She gave advice, helpful thoughts.. Oh how much she will be missed... Take Care of her Lord as she is very much loved!!" Oh I miss her and her sweet words.. God Bless Her and Her family!!!

She is doing really good, She got out of the hospital at 2:00 or 2:30.. around there... and has been resting... I talked to her for a couple of hours and she sounded great! she sounded as though she didnt have surgery at all... I just thought you all should know she is doing well.. I told her not to worry about posting so soon and to get some rest and to Sip Sip Sip.. hehe Just thought you all should know..

Oh wow your so right Jack, but it all seems so far for me to do any of those things... Yard work.. My Back hurts, excersie: i cant right now.. my ankles hurt way to much. walking: cant walk more then a block if that... the pain its unbareable, home repairs: I live in a APT. i dont deal with that... Volunteer work: I do that I bake Cookies.. hahaha.. Im NOT making excuses.. belive me... but other then what I already do.. food is there what will be there after i cant have it... the drink.. maybe drugs... I dont know.. im asking you all... I know what i CAN do.. and alot of it i CANT do not that i DONT want to I REALLY REALLY CANT really... lol try being 5'1 and 330lbs Im breaking I have SMALL bones and im breaking.... gardening,house repairs, excersie, walking, Ohhhhh how I would love to do all those things and belive I will TRY but thats not my question... Im talking about Eating.. Food... what will I do without that... you know what i mean???

LMAO.... thats a good one.. gives the thought of CAN YOU READ BETWEEN LINES LOL

Oh I am already in love with Chap Skick.... LOL i have about 100 somwhere LOL... Ohhhh im so gald i dont live in Vegas then I would have to worry about gambling NOT drink LOL we have lots of casinos here but nothing like Vegas.... Sep. Vegas here we (the Staples) come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Delara, I know you have a hard trouble at night... is it replaced from being banded.. or just something you would do either way???

I WANT the discipline.,. I really DONT think I have it... ((I met an old friend i havent seen in years.. Said to me " oh i heard your husband spoils you... you always have been spoiled....")) Makes me think Yeah I have been spoiled all my life... I have been lazy and who knows what else... so discipline NO i dont have it.. will affect my band? Myabe... I try to be strong.. I want to be thin, healthy, pretty... once again... what else can get in the way of that... just another addiction to stall my progress.. SNACKING could even be one of them... who knows... I just want to see WHO else has gone to somthing else since they cant have food anymore.. or as much food anymore...

It is totally normal to feel scared and excited... I feel the same way and the closer it all gets the MORE EXCITED you feel over the scared part.. We ARE here for you any time you need it... just ask... Take Care and Keep In Touch!!
