Have any of you ever dreamed of what success with lapband will look like? Have your goals changed along your journey or have they stayed the same?
Well first I will say. losing the weight to get to goal 2 years ago seemed like such a distant goal and I had no idea how I was going to get there or if I was going to get there. Well here I sit 19 months post-op and I am 13 pounds from my ideal body weight. My personal goal was 148 and I have passed that goal as of last Wednesday. Honestly I find it both exciting and scary that I am here. I feel like I have worked hard to use the tool my physician gave me BUT, whats next maintaining and toning and that really scares me. Now that I am almost at my ideal weight I realize, there is no end to this journey but a continuation of maintaining the life style and honestly that still scares me.
Have my goals changed, no I think my goals are very close to my orginal goals, I wanted to be healthy and feel good. I am both of those things but I still have this drive to tone more and lose that last 13 lbs. But on the flip side if I stayed at my current weight I would be happy.
So please share your dreams and if you are happy where you are and if not what we can do to help you be successful.
Have a great week everyone, Diane
