  1. Scared !!!

    Reading all of these blogs kind of scares me. I chose to get the band becasue of being able to control my portion sizes, i did not get it to have to give up all of the good foods i like, if i was going to do that i would have just dieted and not spent 10,000 dollars. I mean dont get me wrong Im going to watch what I eat but I dont plan on eating baked chicken and vegetables everyday thats not why i did this. I didnt think you really had to diet much with getting the lap band I thought it was more about portion control. I know the liquids is a big thing because the lap band does nothing for that, so yes have to be strict about that. I dont know I guess where im getting at is I see all these blogs about getting off track because of eating something not good for you, and im just starting to think, oh god did i make the right decision because i know myself and i know im not a healthy food diet kinda person this is why i got the band. I dont know im just starting to get discouraged about this hearing everybody talk about diet diet diet.
