changed mind

[sunshine diva 0]

Hi, I'm new. I was going to get the surgery last year but I thought I could do it on my own. I did lose 15lbs with the help of a friend but gained it back later. I am getting the psy and consult with a dietician this week. I am attending the seminar Wed. I am excited. I am doing a lot of research.

I had a lot of things that changed my mind for me, unfortunately I started my journey over 3 years ago and now as of July 1, 2010 I am banded! Long journey to start a NEW journey but still not any regrets! Still on liquids....hate liquids....but I have started naming them...instead of chocolate Protein Shake it's a yummy chocolate/hot fudge shake with ice cream. Anyways....good luck with your journey sometimes it just takes a little more time to get to the place you need to be!

thank you for responding. do you mind if we keep in contact. i can learn a lot from you and you from me. when i had my psy done last year, i was told that i didn't need it and the Dr. would not approve me getting it done. She was over 300lbs and unhealthy herself. I love exercising but it is the snacking. when i don't see results when i exercise, i give up. i want to see results and i believe that this will motivate me to exercise more and eat right. how is the surgery and pain. i hope you get to your goal weight. please let me know how things are going.
