Banded April 1st, no fooling!



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Carla, or JustCarla. I got my new band this last week, and I'm healing up fine. I was hungry after about 3 days, but I'm on soft foods now, and seem to be doing just fine. I have more problems with just "wanting to eat" than I actually do with hunger. I got two bits of advice from my doctor, Dr. Alana Chock at the NWWLS, 1. if you're thinking about food, take a walk. and 2. Listen to your lap band, it'll let you know. So, I'm going for walks, my dogs love that (I have 4 Chihuahua), and I'm trying to "listen" to my band. I'm new at this.

I'm over 50, had my weight problems my entire life. I need to get my health in order or suffer a lot more issues! I have the beginings of several other major health problems, that I don't want! And I need a change, I need to get my self-esteem up off the floor. We'll see. :redface:
