FIrst Entry

I have to say, I didn't think I'd be able to come back to this lovely site again, and actually begin to use it in earnest. Ok, so why would that be, you're probably asking right now.

I FINALLY got my doctor to say yes, and FINALLY got the call about them beginning the paperwork for my referral to Dr. Manuel Castro. I'm psyched. I've already started my whole change in mind set...writing a journal, changing some of my eating habits. It's freaky when you keep a journal. I have been noticing things that I've never noticed before. Like, I'm a night eater. Had no realization of that before. And now, instead of horking down my food, I'm chewing and chewing and chewing, taking tiny nibbles of my food. Just to get used to things. Heck, I almost used to swallow my food whole. How attractive is that?

Anyhow, it's just the beginning, but I have full on high hopes that this will help a lot of my heart issues and other stuff that I have going on.

That's great about the referral. Some might say it is the first step but it sounds like you've taken a few in the right direction already. Journaling is a great way to get to know yourself.

I hope you visit this site again... Just wondering how you are doing and how things have been since you've been banded.

Ciao,

Tanya
