  1. Good job so far!! I'm sure we all get the negative thoughts that pop in....yuck I hate those. Have you been keep a log of your success through pictures? Sometimes we look in the mirror and see the "old" us and not what we have become. You have alot to be proud of....you've done the HARD part....choosing to have the surgery in the first place is the biggest step. Take it easy on yourself. Sometimes when I start to get hard on myself, I ask myself "if this were a friend going through this, what would I tell her?" Keep thinking positive thoughts and soon the negative ones will be a distant memory. You go girl!!


  2. I really hear you Jessica. I was in the hospital this spring and it took having to get a special "bariatric" commode to use that finally pushed me to look into getting the surgery. I'm one month out and have lost a total of 36 pounds from the time I first saw the doctor 7/28/08 to now 11/08. I have been overweight/obese for a long time----maybe since about age 10? Wow...that's 40 years for me. I had missed so much in my life during those periods of time not so much because I was fat but because I thought since because I was fat I was of use for anyone/or anything in this world. When I started to believe in myself at the weight I was at (even though it was WAY TOO MUCH), only then was I able to think about changing. Hang on to at least one thing about yourself that you like...such as your eyes, or whatever. You will soon be on the other end of your lapband journey helping others who are just beginning. Hang in there! Your "sister" in lapband support....Jodi
