KelinTX...your so true...I think loss is good..whether its 1 lb a week or even 3..its fabulous to lose and not gain..especially in this critical/health conscious world we live in

Michelle & Olivia:

Having the "I think I've screwed up my life" moment is actually a good thing. Yes, we've all made huge mistakes allowing us to get to the point of having to have surgery. Realizing this is the start of success. It's at that moment that things can change. Grab a hold of that feeling, own it, take responsibility for it, and determine to make it right. We do it for our kids, for our family, for ourselves, but we know we have to do it. WE CAN DO IT!!! WE WILL DO IT!!!

Michelle, tomorrow will be a wonderful day. You're on your way girl! Be patient with yourself and follow the rules and you'll be fine.

God Bless!

I know you havent been banded yet..i was just advising of my personal concerns..

I honestly feel like I should have gotten gastric bypass surgery.but then i know ppl that have died because of complications from it..

WE all make choices..sometimes good sometimes bad..

good luck everyone..Thank you Jodi for that information..It was very helpful!

You're welcome Olivia. The first few months were really the hardest for me but once I learned to identify what I needed vs what I wanted, it did become easy and I am no longer obsessed with food (other than my TOM eating frenzies :confused:.) If you ever need support or someone to talk to, feel free to PM me.

Hi Michele. I haven't been banded yet either. Hoping to get scheduled next week. I asked a very similar question a bit ago here is the thread. I though there were some really good answers on it!
