Omg--disappointed



Recommended Posts

I am so disappointed in myself. I was banded May 30 of 2005. I have not lost any weight in months. Not because my band is not working, it is because I am not working for my band. I dont exercise, eat right or anything else I am supposed to do. I have never even been to one of my support meetings throught the hospital I had my surgery! Well thats all going to change. As of the 1st, I am going to eat right and focus on me. Gonna start 2006 the RIGHT way. Thanks for listening to me vent.

Just keep up that good attitude and 2006 is going to be your year! You're way ahead of the game because you are seeing things for what they are. You are not blaming anyone or anything - you are taking responsibility for the whole kit-n-kboodle - insight is everything!

Best wishes and God's speed...

Robyn,

My fellow May bandster. You've lost 40 pounds and have been hanging out a that loss for a while. This is a huge accomplishment.

think of all that yu've learned

how to lose the weight with the band.

how to maintain the weight with the band

how to find the support and strength to pick yourself up and start anew

2006 is your year.

have a ball with it

love, debby

The first step is knowing and admitting where you know you have gone wrong. I commend you for your honesty. One thing that helped me to get back on track was to journal my food intake. There issomething to be said about seeing what you eat on paper..it really helped me to make better choices, I wrote down everything even those bites here and there that you do not think matter, trust me they do. Try journaling your food, also write down the degree of hunger and what your mood is when you eat for example are you hungry, sad, mad , just wanting to eat etc.. once you see a pattern you can make the needed changes. Hang in there and good luck :D and just know you are not alone, many of usstruggle..I struglle now that I no longer have my band, jopurnaling has become even more important to me now since I have no band.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
