Look you!! I'm gonna love you first, then kick your azz. So, . We good?
Now, if a RNY to band revision is a real option, look into it. Until then, take some time to celebrate the small victories and give yourself a break. Just for today; drop ain't, can't, and didn't do from your vocabulary. Forget err'body else, and set one goal for Di today.
Need some help? How about drinking 100 ounces of water? Or, eating 80 ounces of protein? That's it!! Just one. Tomorrow, set another one.
If I've learned one thing on this journey, it's that our battle is a daily one. I started this thing with long term goals, and ended up sabotaging myself when I failed to meet them. At some point, it dawned on me that I didn't have to do that. Sometimes my goal was to just not eat for the next 15 minutes. That's how hard it was. But, if I beat that 15 minutes, I'd pat myself on the back and keep it moving. Some days, that was my only accomplishment.
So, what chu' gonna do?

Dayum, kicked my azz is exactly right! Doggone it! are you coming to DC.. Let a sistah know if she need to be hiding from you. lol.... Terri you are right...I am just at a cross road of what to do! Pissed and gratedful at the same time. but looking at one day or one hour at a time can't be anything but helpful. Thanks sis, for the straight talk...
I need to revisit the plan and decide to do it hour by hour

We all have questioned or hated our tool at some point or another. Right now I have not eaten at all today because I vomited so much on yesterday. I should have stopped after the first time but I kept trying to eat. I have called Faith venting that I didn't want this band anymore, but it has been good for me if not always good to me.
Working on me - want to be better in everyway not just physically!!! Its a process no time to judge or be judged!!!!
