First Visit with PCP since Banding

I saw my doctor for the first time since banding. I didn't ask for her recommendation prior to doing it, I didn't even tell her.

She was very cautionary and said she has never seen anyone be successful in the long run of the patients she sees with the lap band. And she stressed making good habits as they will be what determines how success you are in the long run.

I have got to get off the protein shakes. When I told her about relying on them, she said "listen to yourself. You know what you need to do, so why aren't you doing it?" It was a rhetorical question, but what popped in my head was LAZINESS. Laziness is the only thing keeping me from eating correctly.

I got to do better. I have to concentrate on making permanent changes instead of just watching the scale go down.
