Eating After Lapband...Today is Your Day

[Tomander 614]

Hello Band Buddies

One of the Lapband sites I belong to “www.afterband.net” recently had a VERY inspirational message about eating after the lapband.

This site has a lot of great information.

Remember… if you have fallen off the “band-wagon” whether is been for a few days, weeks or even longer it’s NEVER too late to get back on track.

Take the time to read this message… if may help you to take a step in the right direction to getting you back on the “band-wagon”.

I love the last line in the message… "Then do it again tomorrow, for it is just the next today."

I shared this article with my Lapband coffee Group members (I host 3 groups) and the response was amazing... so many people found the item inspirational.

Eating After the Lapband - Today is Your Day

Today is a new day. Today you have the power to create and inspire change in your relationship with food. Your lap band or gastric bypass surgery is only a tool in meeting your weight loss goals. The power to make it work is in your hands.

Really, today is the only day you have such power. Yesterday is gone. Your power over yesterday and what you ate and how much you exercised (or didn’t) has disappeared. Any regrets about yesterday are a waste of your time and emotions.

Really, today is the only day you have power over food. Tomorrow is just beyond your finger tips. It has yet to arrive. But you can make tomorrow better by what you do TODAY. So, what will you do about today?

You’ve been given the power to free yourself from the bondage of food addictions. You have immeasurable strength today to work with your lap band and not against it. You didn’t go through the pain of weight loss surgery to suffer the denial of you goals. You are stronger than that. And there are plenty of WLS support groups on-line to inspire and help you focus the power within you.

Will you throw your hands up in defeat today? No, you will not. Today you are not a victim or slapped down by the victim mentality. Today you have the power over food. Food’s power over you is diminished. Today, you are in control.

You know what to do. You know what and how much you should eat. Your lap band surgeons or gastric bypass surgeons gave you nutrition plans and dietary advice or certainly should have. Most do.

If you need to re-set the way you eat, you have strength to do that today.

Today is the day to follow doctor’s orders. Today you’ve been blessed with tremendous power to eat the way you know you should. Use that power to enjoy and embrace the after lap band diet and meet your goals that much sooner. You can do it, you have a mighty power inside you, and you will use it.

Then do it again tomorrow, for it is just the next today.
