Congrats, you look great!!!!

Congrats, you look great!!!!

First, no you didn't make a mistake.
Second, get off the scale. now is a time for healing. There are so many factors as to your weight right now (swelling from surgery, gas from surgery, not going to the bathroom...just to name a few),
Third, call you doctor about not going potty. They might recommend something for that (very common problem).
Fourth, 11 pounds is awesome. Be proud of yourself. This is a long and hard journey. You can do this and we will support you every step of the way,
Big cyber hugs to you!!

You look fabulous!!!! Awesome job.

My surgery is scheduled for August 1st. At first I was excited and thrilled to finally have my date. But as the date gets closer, I'm having 2nd thoughts. I had to go through 6 months of nutritional counseling, I had to see a nutritionist, I had to see a psychiatrist, and I had an EGD done. All of that time, I was committed to having this surgery. And now, I'm having second thoughts. It's the preop diet that has me thinking. The first 2 days of my 2 week liquid diet, I was fine.....and then I don't know what happened. All kinds of thoughts appeared from out of no where. Like, How did I let myself get like this? What happened to me? When did I stop caring? I was almost in tears thinking about my life. Really, what the hell happened and why am I the size that I am now. Now I'm thinking I don't know if I can do this.........DAMN. Did anyone else have these thoughts? If so, how did you overcome them?

Mis73, thank you. I think I'll redirect my thoughts. I'm usually positive and upbeat, I don't know where this comes from. I did a ton of research and I honestly believe that the lapband is the best option for me. Thanks so much for sharing your story.
