Surgery tomorrow, I know I am ready

but since starting my liquid diet, which i have stuck too, very proud of myself.  I even baked sausage balls Saturday for my family and didn't eat any, of Lord was I tempted, but I didn't.

Anyway, since starting my liquid diet I keep having this little thought pop in my head that I am taking the easy way out by having surgery.  Yes I know its not the easy way, Yes I know the lapband is just a tool and its still going to be a struggle, but I have that weigh****chers for 5 years brain mentality that keeps rearing its head.

I'm not nervous about the surgery, or at least I don't think I am, maybe that is my nervous coming out without me realizing it.

Okay I am ready for tomorrow and got that off my chest, I feel better now.

Hun you are there and you have done it great! I will keep you in my prayers tomorrow!

I would argue that wls is NOT the easy way out.  I still have to make decisions all day that impacts my weight loss.  And I can tell you that I could out-eat this surgery with no problem.  I can say that wls makes it much easier to be "good" but there are so many thing that I could eat that would be terrible for me.  And I have to make the decision to exercise, drink my water, etc.  So anyone who says this is the easy way is woefully ill-informed!  (Weigh****chers included!)

Good luck on your surgery!  You'll be on the Loser's Bench before you know it!

Merry Christmas!

Thanks, I know it won't be easy, I know I will have to even be more careful on what and how much I eat and actually get up and exercise.  I really think it will take more dicipline then any other weight loss programs I have tried.

I think I am just pyching myself out.

Thanks for the support.

Hi, Debbie.
Congratulations on your surgery tomorrow.  I know you'll do well, and, as you know, life will be different with your Band. It won't be easy, but you will find that it gives you that extra push needed to get to your goal. My prayers go with you.
Blessings,
Mary

Debbie, congrats on your surgery Tuesday.. I am right behind you on Wednesday..  I too sometimes think I am taking the easy way out, but than I have realized it's a tool and I need moer discipline than I have learned from WW.  I too have done GREAT on WW only to gain a lot of it back.  I am tired of fighting with my weight every day and need the extra tool to learn it all over again..  You will do GREAT and you will be in my thoughts and prayers..

Huge Hugs to you,
Sheila
