I ready to change!!



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to say hi! I started the process in February with a seminar and my consultation. My insurance (BCBS anthem) requires a 6 months medically supervised diet, i've got two months done, 4 to go!! My primary care doctor has been incredibly supportive and encouraging with this diet. My head has not been so supportive though. Ever since i uttered the word diet it seems my food cravings have gone into over load. Kind of like an oppositional diffiance disorder, lol. I kid but it sucks.

I know I HAVE to get these cravings under control. I'm embarssed to admit that fast food seems to be my down fall lately. Before I could go weeks without even thinking about it. now it's like I can't drive by without finding myself sitting in the drive thru. What do you do to curb this? My doc is switching my anti anxiety meds hoping that will help. I have my psych evaluation this week and plan on talking to her about it also.

I'm so ready to be banded. I'm not scare of the proceedure, or the liquid diet before and after, i'm not scare of feeling hungry but i'm very scared of head hunger. of not being able to control that.... so I have 4+ months to get my head in order... any advice?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
