I love a good pity party! I was banded Oct.6th, and I'm now venturing in to a wider variety of foods, so I'm feeling a little better about things. So far no problems, but I've been very careful about what I eat.
I had a huge case of "oh my god what did I do to myself???" that first week post op. I even had a few all out panic attacks where I almost convinced myself that I needed to get this thing out of me!! It's not like I didn't know what I was getting myself in to. I researched it, worked for it, planned for it, and wished for it for about 3 years before I did it. I know it's safe. I know it's effective. I guess the reality just doesn't really hit home until after the surgery, and you realize that there are no more excuses, and if you cheat it's going to hurt.
I'm doing much better now. I've lost 25 lbs, and my doctor already took me off of one of my blood pressure meds. That's what this is all about...health. I remind myself daily that I have to keep my eye on the prize!
