Barium is not my friend. Neither are the pop rocks they give you before the barium swallow. Yes, I had my upper GI and abdomen ultrasound today. Two more steps on the road to food sobriety. In other 12 step groups I have been told, Get a Sponsor! Today it dawned on me for this journey that the band will be my sponsor. It will talk to me on a daily basis, it will give me its experience, strength and hope, and it will call me on my BS when I'm doing something dumb. These things I know because of all the time I've spent on these forums and all the steps I've taken along the road to food sobriety. Today after the last two tests I made a decision to go ahead and get banded. After all, I have nothing to lose but fat. Duh, even I know the answer to this one. :thumbup:

And you guys are my group. We should be proud of ourselves for even being willing to take a hard look at our relationship with food. Not everyone is lucky enough to have the courage.

I agree 100%

My band is my sponsor and it tells me the things im doing right and tells me when im not doing so right.....good analogy.

That is a very interesting analogy. I had never looked at my band as my sponsor. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Good analogy! I had never thought of it this way either.

I think you will have great success on your journey to a new life!:smile:
