Hi my name is Tony and I just had my lap band surgery September 5^th 2013. It took me almost 22 years to make the decision to get it done because I didn’t want to give up Pizza’s but when I made the decision I made it for life. I think before I had the surgery it was easier to stay focused and I did everything I was asked to do. If you or anyone needs to talk please feel free to send me a message on this forum and I will help as best I can. The greatest thing I did to help myself was changing the way I think about eating. Basically I took a rule I had created for dating and applied it to my eating. The rule goes like this:

Feelings are not right and they are not wrong they just are, it is what you decide to do with those feelings that will determine the path your life will take.

In my dating life this helped me take control and helping me choose a girlfriend that was totally different from all the other toxic relationships I was attracted to. In eating it helped me choose to take action. I started utilizing all those tools I had heard of in the past simultaneously. Portion control, chewing, eating slowly, eating meats first, vegies second, and fruits third helped tremendously. I lost 20lbs before surgery and have lost 18lbs in the 7 days after surgery. Don’t get me wrong I still struggle, but I now know the struggle is with myself. Shakespeare put it best in Hamlet, the fault lies not in our stars but in ourselves. I have chosen to have this surgery, chosen to give up starches, fired foods and so on. Well I hope this helps, let me know if I can be of service in the future. TTFN
