Hey neen and co!
so my band journey starts on the 14th MArch!! im so excited but im stressing..... u get banders on here talking about how the band failed....also im really bad as i can graze and theefore the band isnt good for people who graze.
i wouldnt choose any other surgery as Dr. AShton said that he wouldnt reccomend a bypass at 30 and BMI if 35.
I can see myself as the 'fail' story..... ive been a bad eater and a worse dieter! im so crap.... and im worried that yet again i will be the fat one in this thread...the one who couldnt get to goal cos im so rubbish!
im not looking for sympathy/pity post....im telling u my concerns and worries....did anyone else stress that they might just be throwing away 8grand down the toilet because they will always be big.
i dont want to be big but my willpower is TINY!
please tell me some wow stories about the band!!

magic...take a nice slow deep breath in ...and breathe out....I am not being rude but I feel your anxiety:hug99:
I think we have all felt the way you do - whatever the surgery band, bypass, sleeve etc. The important thing is, if you are about to shell out a wad of your own money on this is about making the right choice for YOU. if you are still having doubts about your chosen surgery then perhaps think about cancelling, do a bit more research speak to more people and then once you are absolutely sure then go for it. Every surgery will have its successes and failures. Surgery is a tool - you still have to do a lot of the hard work - making the right food choices, more exercise etc. It is a lifestyle change. I am sure you did not put on the excess overnight - and unless you need the surgery to deal with some immediate life threatening issues now, it may be worth just taking a step back and considering things a little bit more.

We cant tell you it will work, only you can do that. If you are prepared to pay out £8k then surely you are prepared to change. If your not then it may not work - sorry to sound harsh!
The band will help you eat much less but it will be up to you to make sure that its in the main good stuff (none of us are saints).
Its only natural to have doubts but if you do decide to go for it we are all here to support you xxx

Supposed to be a nice warm sunny day Tranquil.
Its really lovely seeing all the lovely daffodils out in the sunshine. Even my hanging basket near the front door is full of pansies nodding in the breeze.
I have put some washing on ready to put out on the line before I tackle the supermarket shopping.

Hi Kat. Wow - I wish I had that energy first thing. I have to get into work early but just cannot get going today - I am so tired. I am just catching up on a few posts then I better get going. Good luck with the shopping

For the past 21 years, I have had to get up early for work, so even when its my day off - I still wake early and plough into the day.
The only downside is by the afternoon I`m tired and usually end up having a nap for an hour to recharge my batteries.
Have a good day Tranquil. I hope your energy reinvigorates for you soon, I wonder how you cope sometimes, when you have so much on your plate!
Take care hun x

Just use that feeling to spur you on though, any negatives we can turn into an extra push to do something about it.
Look on uncomfortable feelings as a reminder that you do want to change and you can do something about it.
Wether you have had wls on not really, if we get too comfortable we do not feel the need to change things for the better.
We get complacent and we make do with "good enough" or what's familiar.
I think I definately want to leave that "putting up with things as they are" well behind me.
Change is hard, putting an effort in to eat right and move more daily feels like it might be hard...but it is so worth just stepping out of the comfort zone a little bit to feel & look the way we want in our hearts x
