    godsgirlnky reacted to lageniafaye in Discouraged   
    Here is my story. before I had my surgry I worried about the fact that I would not be able to cheeseburgers and fries again. I cried to my husband one night and he asked me what was the matter. I thought before I told him, and admitted to myself also, I said I don't want to be fat anymore. It was then that I knew that I had to change the way I was eating, not just what I eat, but how I eat. I started before I had surgury using a baby spoon and eating from a saucer instead of a regular plate. Chewing my food and counting 30 times. There is one thing you don't want to do is have food stuck and throw it up. That will cause problems down the line. Just keep thinking you don't want to be fat.

    I bet you will do fine with this procedure! If something happens to you like what happened in 2008 you just go to the doctor and get a fill. It does take a bit of will power at times but I look at it this way...I have "dieted" before and was able to stay on the wagon for upto a few months at a time, what is a short 2 weeks until I get my fill? I can do this, YOU CAN DO THIS! Good luck, stay positive.

    I agree with everyone here. It is not surprising that we all have many of the same fears. I hang on to this verse for dear life:
    Phillipians 4-6
    Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
    Worry is unhealthy--concern is healthy..........
    Be concerned sure, and study and investigate the options....but don't let fear hold you back......

    Congrats on the date! My husband died about 4 yrs ago and I started dating again about 18 mths ago - when I weighed about 200 (down 50 lbs since surgery). I think I told pretty much all of my dates what I had done. I was pretty proud of myself. In fact, the last guy I dated (I just married him on Dec 3rd!) we had something in common. He had just gotten done losing 80 lbs thru lo carbing it. I've now lost over 100 lbs and I don't care who knows. None of the gys ever thought I was weird, they all congratulated me actually. So if it does slip out, don't worry about being "weird". They'll be happy to know that you're on your way to a healthier and happier you!

    Love your post! I feel like that some days about exercise, but I know if I do not drag myself out to the gym I will return to old habits and being down 130 pounds makes it all worth it!
    @ formerly fluffy I am yet to be at good restriction, it takes will power to say no to foods we should not eat and knowing when to stop eating what we do. I have learned the difference between being satisfied and being full.

    I highly suggest you look at Visalus Shakes. It is called Body by Vi. You can order it on the internet or find a local dealer. They taste good.. 50.00 for a two week supply in one bag. My pre op does not call for all liquid, just the post op.. I get banded 12/20/2011/ Can not wait. super excited.

    i have heard the same comment and why dont you just stop eating and use some self control! WELL WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT instead of risking my life having major surgery, taking off work, being in pain, not eating "normal food" for almost 2 months! People can be soooo insensitive and retarded at times. I wish I hadnt told some of the people I did. Who can live on drinking liquids only, are they serious! Still to this site and you'll get plenty of support, some will even give you a verbal cyber hand slap when needed! LOL! this site helped me get thru my first few months. feel free to check out my blog(although i havent been good at keeping it up lately) or inbox me with any questions. Best wishes hun!
