I started my journey with the lap-band 6 weeks ago. After getting a great start and loosing 13 pounds with the pre-op diet I had the surgery that changed my life for the better. I am only one month post-op but I feel so much better and I am motivated to continue this journey. I have lost 26 pounds and I don't plan to stop there!
Yes, I have days where I want a big fat cheeseburger and greasy french fries... and before this surgery, every time I got that craving, I let it take over and my "diet" would end right then and there . However, I can now see past the cravings to the benefit my body will gain if it doesn't have to digest processed/greasy foods. It is amazing how you can go from eating horrible and barely drinking water, to trying new vegetables and craving water daily!
The picture on the left below is a reminder of where I came from and where I will NEVER be again. The one on the right? Well that PROGRESS. A job that is not completed but is on the right track.
