To me my weight issue is comparable to being an alcoholic except it's food. We have to find a way to have some control over what and when we stick something in the hole in our face. I lack control over how much of something I eat. I'm hoping that the band will force me to have more self control thus allowing me to bring down my weight.

I wish you the best and yes you can achieve your goal! Be tuffanf remeber why you choose this option. i to need support as I have just begun this journey and I as new to this as a newborn baby.

Matt great job. I have been reading your blog and your doing a great. I'll be talking to you soon. I'm getting banded today. As with you I hit the magic 350 mark that made me say it's time to do something. Going from a Mom that always had us clean our plates to this new life style will be a challenge but it is one that I must take. Catch up with you later.

Sounds like you are doing amazing!! The sadness over the loss of food is considered normal. We all will take some time realizing we can't eat as much as we used to. 26 pounds is amazing!! How long ago did you weigh in at 350? A month?? I am curious. You are going to be in the 200's in no time at all!!

Good Luck!! I know you will be fine. I go in @ 12:45 today. OMG. Nervous but they will give me some meds that will relax me. Looking forwrd to talking with you and a few others as we start our journey. Be well and take care! BRD

Nice Blog Mary! You too provide strength to others. Your words are true and encouraging!! Thanks again, Igetting banded today. All day yesterday and even this morning I question my ability to make this change. But as like you I rely on other people experiences to guide me and give me a sense of direction. Thanks and best of luck to you.
