You sound just like me... I started on this journey in November by attending a seminar a the Journeylite in Thousand Oaks, CA.. Wow - I thought, it all looked and sounded too good to be true.. The results were amazing! I have osteoarthritis of my knees and sleep apnea along with all the other ailments that comes along with the weight. I continued to do a ton of research and even attended another seminar to answer more questions... I kept imagining my life without all the ache and pains.. :embaressed_smile:
Well, I had my surgery date. June 24th - now it was serious... The closer it came the more nervous I was. You should have seen me the morning of.. I had fears of waking up in a ton of pain, or not waking up at all.. See I never have had any type of surgery and didn't have a clue what to expect.
Well, it was the best thing I could have ever done. Yes I had the pain I was worried about, yes I woke up (that was a ridiculous worry):huh2: but now 3 weeks today, I feel great! I know it's not going to be easy, but I also know that if I follow what the doctors instructions, I too will be successful in this new life... Today is my first day of solids and I am a bit apprehensive about it. I am going to focus on one day or one meal at a time.. This is my new life and I'm going to use the lap-band to help me take control of my eating.
Good luck in whatever you decide. I know you won't be disappointed.. Do it for yourself...
