Stay On The Path!!



Recommended Posts

Not to get anyone upset but lately I have been noticing negative postings on how the lap band has failed so many people or people are not getting and seeing the results.

And I understand that this website has been designed to place both positive and negatives venues.

But I caution you to be a little more senstive to the person that considering giving up because you have choose to walk away.

its Ironic but Negative follows Faster then Postive Attitudes.

I urge Someone today who wants to give up to stay on the Path and Dont Give Up Never.

If you dont see results then try something else, but keep trying!!

And One day when you get it right, then you will be glad that you did!!

What Works for Someone Else May Not Work For You!!

God has made each and Everyone Fearfully, and Wonderfully Marvelous, In Their Own Way!!

Love Each of You!!

Hope I didnt Offend Anyone!!!

Good post!

I havent noticed too much negativity on this site.

I try to stay away from the other wls boards because there is a lot of band bashing going on. Usually from the same few people.

I will be banded on the 19th and am looking forward to starting my new healthier life.

I feel a lot of people bash lap bands because they don't put forth the effort or hard work. It's a lifestyle change. You don't just get banded and miraculously the weight falls off. You have to watch what you eat and exercise. Some people feel its failed them because they are eating like they were and they now have the band and the weight is not coming off. Watch your calories, journal what you eat. It's a great tool to help you along with the band.

There are fanatics on both side- good and bad. I choose to be realistic. I have developed what works for me and I can and will stick with it.

Each person has to find their own way and hopefully I can support them in some way.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
