I have had my ups and downs on this journey too (its only been 20 days). But I have to tell myself it is a major change and it will continue to be, it is kind of like starting you life over, at least the eating part anyway. Babies start with liquids and work their way to solids. LOL babies cry a lot too, when they are in the liquid stage. Lap band is a daily adventure, most days are great . I am in the stage of being freaked out about gaining weight, I never want to go back up on the scales, I think that is what keeps me going when I am feeling really bummed. Good to know I'm not alone. Thanks.
