I finally got everything set in stone for my surgery. I can't believe I'm doing this, but I have thought long and hard about it over the past months and believe it's definitely in my best interest. I guess I kind of feel like a failure that I just can't lose the weight on my own. I feel "weak" because I have to have surgery to be thin. I feel like my life will never be the same again after 8/10/11.
I have all the support a girl could ask for from my husband, family, friends, co-workers......but it's still so hard. Please....... someone tell me these are normal feelings to have!!
I'm super excited for surgery and taking off these pounds......but I'm so scared at the same time.
How exciting!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm your newest Follower. Yes, all those feelings are normal. I was banded 4/6/11 ~ it was my Hail Mary move after trying every diet known to man only to gain it all back. It was the best decision I ever made. I'm looking forward reading about your journey!
ReplyDeleteThose are very normal feelings. Heck, I've had my band for 2+ months now and I'm STILL having some of those feelings. But once you have surgery and everything starts going the right way you'll be convinced it was the best thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI agree, your feelings are totally normal. And don't worry, in time you will find that you can eat many if not most of the same foods, just smaller portions!
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on the Banding date! That is my Dad's 77th Birthday, and I will be thinking of you!!
I was most nervous right before getting put under. Somehow I made it. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYay, that's awesome! So excited for you!
ReplyDeleteYour feelings are VERY normal. I felt like a failure too. But guess what, not anymore. I did what was best for me and my health. I know KNOW I can do this and that is changing me from the inside out.
