SOME KICK BUTT ADVICE...........
Vickie,
Kudos!! I read this and it really inspired me, too. I cringe when I hear people talking about how they don't like water, can't stomach the protein, etc. I thought long and hard before I got banded, and really want to make this work. I want this tool to help me do what I've never been able to do on my own. I love good, healthy food, and water. I was lucky and wasn't in much pain (I would say discomfort) after my band surgery and my first fill was a breeze (everyone told me it would hurt so much!). Changing my mental and emotional relationship with food and cleaning my plate is another story.
I want to be surrounded by positive people who are supportive and honest. I also want to be able to share my struggles. I take accountability for letting my weight climb to my high point of 280 lbs. I ate too much, a lot of times unhealthy food, and I didn't exercise enough.
Although I know RNY and Band are different, I have seen both be successful, and unsuccessful. Thank you for sharing this!!!
