Hi Everyone,

If you do not have your head in the right place then weight loss surgery is going to be a battle or struggle for you.

I have a saying. "To have a good and healthy body you MUST have your brain in the right place"

It is hard to become successful at weight loss unless you really are ready to have this surgery and follow the directions that your doctor gives you. This is a lifestyle change!

You have to take back the control over food and NO longer let food control your every thought. This is NOT your miracle cure, you have to put effort and work into becoming success. I wish you great success. I am always here if you have a bad day or just need to talk about anything.

Hugs,

Suzanne

Mostly because that is exactly what my thoughts were before I had the surgery. I compared it to when I quit smoking 10 years ago. Smoking was like a chain on me and when I finally decided to release that chain I made sure that I was done and never looked back. food had become the same way for me, another chain, but I knew that I couldn't just break this chain and never look back because I have to eat, everyone has to eat. So in order to be able to face food each day I had to look at it differently and use the tools given to me along with my surgeons instructions. Do I like drinking liquids for 3 weeks? No, not really, but do I believe that my surgeon knows what he is talking about and all he wants is to ensure my sleeve heals properly before I introduce foods, yes I do believe that. Have I learned that I can live without food and it doesn't have to rule my day, yes I have. I know this is a journey in process and look forward to my adventure and success. So, yep your words deserved an AMEN from me!! LOL -
