Hi. Many of our stories will be similar. The constant battle with food weight. My own battle has lasted 35 years. I am 54
I have wanted a band for years since my best friend has had great success with the one she had fitted 6 years ago. I was put off by the fear of the op and complications.
I spent a weekend with my friend mid July. I saw the control she had over her eating and looked at how good she looked and felt and I guess the misery of the entrapment within my fat body and the weariness of the relentless circling merry go round of, starting a diet, lasting till 10am or lunch time, feeling like a failure who had blown it, binging out of the misery - waking up again the next morning praying to someone/anyone to give me the power back over food became just too much for me.
I came home on the Monday, called the Nuffield in Glasgow. Had to wait two weeks to see me Galloway. Had a date for surgery within two weeks of seeing him. Got myself a 19 month interest free purchase credit card, got paid up. Joined this forum, got on the the pre op diet....got my ass on that trolley...and passed out!!!!- decision to go for it to operation 4 weeks....scary eh?
So here I am. A bandit! On the losers bench! And never felt so convinced I made the right decision. Since making the decision I have never felt happier
At my heaviest I was 16st 4lb. When I saw the surgeon I weighed 15st 5. On the day of my op I weighed 14st 4. Today I weigh 13st 13 and a half pounds
I know we know it will be a huge life style change. But do any of you still go to the supermarket and want to buy food? I went in for some yoghurt so the other day and found myself in the salad section wandering about...what is that all about?
I woke up today after a snooze dreaming I was eating a galaxy ripple. I could feel the chocolate melting on my tongue
I am now wondering what I am going to do to fill the food void. I realise what a huge part of my life food was....it ruled my life
Any invitations would elicit the thought "I wonder what kind of spread they will have on". A trip to the movies was "oh I wonder if I will have popcorn or nachos or maybe both" and on and on. I ate to celebrate, I ate to cheer myself up, I ate to be sociable, I ate when I was bored. I ATE!
so, I am a excited and nervous about this journey I have embarked on. But know that the people on this forum are so supportive and friendly that I will be popping in to read your stories. Hopefully at some time in the future, I will be able to offer support to others
