I have made some great steps of change in the last 6mo. I know at first I was very disappointed by having to do the 6m diet, but it helped prepare me for the steps of COMMITTMENT OF CHANGE. It started with a food journal, to looking at the foods I eat, to calorie counting, to adding an exercise journal. I have not just a food goal to watch, but a good exercise goal that I make myself accountable for. I'm so happy that I just got my lapband scheduled. I'm ready to not be afraid of the scale and celebrate the journey of change!:thumbup:
:tongue2:Ok, I have been getting as much info as I possibly can to prepare me for anything before surgery and after surgery. My husband is starting to think I'm going crazy because ultimately he is saying every's body is different. So no matter what I do my body may react different and my body will tell me what I can or can not do. I'm sure he is right, but I'm just so anxious and I love this website. I think my husband my worry that I will freak out and change. Has there been relationship changes after the band?
I'm doing my 6m diet before I finally get approved to have my surgery and trying to do all the reading and researching before I have the surgery of the best foods and exercising before I go thru this journy. I would love to really try and loose weight on my own before I have the surgery just to proove to myself that I can do it, but I only have this mo and next mo when my 6mo are up and I'm scared next week when I get weighed in that I've not lost. Not that I haven't tried, but my exercising is the hardest thing to change and add to my day. My biggest worry is that I can't proove to myself that I can't even loose 10pounds on my own. I want the surgery and focus is to know what to eat before so what I do eat after my surgery is good intake not bad but also the habit of exercising which is best in the morning. If anyone knows what I'm going thru....I would love to hear from you...:thumbup:
