Hi all thought i would start a new thread for us...

I hope everyone is sticking to thier new years resolutions.. and thier band rules.. if not its ok lets get back on track.. So how is everyone doing this month?:tongue:

Hi All, not doing so well. I've lost all sort of control. My junk food addiction is out of control. Yesterday, I went out and bought almost $20 in junk food. Eaten more carbs and dairy foods in the last few week than before. I was trying to incorporate carbs and healthy Desserts into my diet. I need to start over again and do better. Denying myself sweets and carbs then going out of control is not good.

So set on reaching my goal weight by March, 2009 is tearing at me. After all, desserts can be a healthy part of your eating lifestyle. I know this'll set me back a few pounds, but I'll just have to handle it. Even though I'm losing, I'm yo-yoing between gaining and losing the weight. Now I'm 13lbs heavier. Which means no weight lose for this month.

I also, need to get another fill. I've increased my portion size by one - two onces to offset my not eating meat and fish so much.

Well, so much for me. Just venting and trying to deal.

What's new with you?

Hang in there Gwen. I think we all do this and is natural part of life. You will do much better this week. We will be think of you.

im stuggling as well.. but i decided not to look at the scale for a while and just worry about getting exercise in and eating healthy the next 2 1/2 wks before my surgery.. want to be as strong as possible so recovery time isnt too bad..

I have been focusing on this the past two weeks and am very proud to say i am able to do 30min on the eliptical without any problems....and i still go do other excercising afterwards...

I went to see my band surgeon on thurseday and he asked me if i would like to give a testimonial for a brochure he is creating for his practice because of how successful i have been.. and i said yes of course!!!

As surgery date approaches i find myself getting more and more nervous.. but still completely excited it is the weirdest emotion to explain.. and im having surgery 3 days before my 2yr bandiversary!!

Jeni,

If you are like me I'm half way between terror of not waking up and knowing it's going to hurt like a *&%ER.

KWIM?

You'll be fine. Write about your feelings if you don't already. It will help
