What I know For Sure



Recommended Posts

I know that having this band is simple, but harder than I thought.

I know that I will succeed in loosing the weight this time.

I know that I am not patient.

I know that I feel much better being 46 pounds lighter than I was.

I know that I cannot do this alone.

I know that food is my enemy.

I know that even if I fall off the wagon today, tomorrow is a new day.

What do you know for sure?

Kim:

I know....

My daughter doesn't worry about me leaving this earth early because of morbid obesity.

My daughter is proud of me!

I will never be morbidly obese again.

I couldn't have done it without the band.

I feel 20 years younger since losing 100+ pounds.

I love being smaller than both of my sisters.

I have inspired people to be more active.

If they come up with the "magic pill" that allows me to eat whatever I want, I will take it because down deep I am still a food addict!

I will eventually reach my weight goal, but I am the size I want to be.

I know that I will never be thin, but average-sized is good for me.

I will get rid of this hanging skin on my abdomen some day.

That my Mom is in heaven saying "keep it up Honey, you will get there".

I actually like exercising, and love trikking!

That if I can do it, so can most of you!

Best wishes.

Sue

What I know for sure is.....

I know Lap Band was the best choice for me.

I know I have so much more movement range and energy now.

I know I've lost 111 pounds in 8 1/2 months!!!!!

I know I never thought I'd be exercising daily and even enjoying it on some days.

I know I never thought I'd be so thoughtful of what food I put in my body.

I know I'm less embarrassed now than I was at the same weight and lower when I was in my 20s.

I know this forum has saved me from failing many times and I really appreciate all of you.

I know I'm proud of myself for all the hard work I've done and all the positive, healthy changes I've made to my life.

I know I'm gonna need cosmetic surgery.

and last but not least... I know I'm gonna need new clothes again soon.

I know that I will forever be mindful of chewing...chew...chew...chew

I know that I could not have achieved the weight loss to date without the band.

I know that regardless of my success, I will always feel embarrased I let my body 'go' so far.

I know that I will eventually be the body size/weight combination with which I am happy.

I know that I should have done this several years ago.

I know that if there was a magic pill to cure my cravings for nuts, I would take it.

I know that my lifestyle changes will impact DH - and ideally mean we are together longer.

I know that my family are proud of my success to date.

I know that if anyone had said I would become 'a regular' at the Y and be there before 6am 4 days a week, I would not have believed them.

I know that I have to keep exercising, even though I do not enjoy it.

I know that I have tremendous respect for many of the people I have met on this forum, and that we would not have 'met' were it not for this band.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
