It has been a while since I posted to this blog and a few days ago I made a HUGE life change. On Thursday December 18th I got the Realize gastric band put in. After a lot of thinking and self evaluation I thought that it was the best solution to my weight problem.
Back in June I went to an info session and then began my journey to medical clearance, several doctors appointments and well over $1,000 in co-pays later here I am... BANDED!
It took me a while to decide on the band because I thought of it as an easy solution, but boy was I wrong. The diet Im on is like none other. For the next month its liquids only, and mush for another month thereafter.
Willpower is the only thing I can think of that's getting me through. That and learning to listen to my body. My current battle consists of discerning between hunger pains and gas... any suggestions?
