I have no idea how long you have banded.Otherwise I could probably ascertain how you're feeling and why..

Ask yourself - why did I want this in the first place?

How did I feel about myself before I started losing weight?

What feels good about me now?

Before I even considered the band, I wrote myself a list of all the things in my life that would be better if I could lose weight. I found it recently and they were all correct.

Motivation comes from within, not from some trainer yelling at you to get your butt moving.

Consider setting small achievable, non-scale related goals and plan rewards as you achieve them. For example, I just bought a new road bike because I reached a goal of being fit enough to ride a specific distance. That's a big goal and big reward, but I am sure you get the idea.

I can say this.You got banded and went through with the surgery.The surgery can kill you.You made it through the hard part.

      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!!
