Hey so I can't find my last post and I did say my band slipped, my surgery is next Friday and it almost feels like I'm getting the surgery all over again. Anyways, since I am going to be having surgery again, I was thinking that it would be best to start over. Do the pre-op diet then the liquid stage, mushie stage then solids. Then I just hope it goes the right way this time, and be smarter

good luck

Hi Erin,

I think you are right in starting everything over again. I was a huge food lover and binge eater going into this as my last tool of resort because I was so tired of the rollercoaster thing I had done my whole life. I am now looking at this as a completely NEW way of living healthy and I will succeed. I was scared of how I would over rule my head into telling myself that I wasn't really hungry at all and just thought I was. I had to go two days without anything to eat or drink because of some mix up with radiology hours and not being able to have my Esophogram when I should have. I "THOUGHT" I was starving and even got really pissy with the nurses over it. Come to find out, it was all in my head. When they brought me my first "so called" meal. I ate some of the Jello, drank some apple juice and that was it for me. I sipped on ice Water until lunch and I was fine. Food and over eating ( I am finding) really is a head thing and how we have been taught or allowed ourselves to act throughout life up until this point.

You can do this and do it correctly....and in the end, you will look in the mirror and say.....I DID THIS AND IT FEELS GREAT!!!! Good luck on your second time around.....just keep your eye on the prize which is a thinner and healthier you!!!! You'll do great!!!

I agree with your mindset. Starting fresh and at the beginning is best.

Best of luck on your new journey
