I have had the same thoughts, should I go through with it, but then realize that what you said is so true! I’ve never been able to have a “normal” sized life, being overweight has been my life my whole life. I can’t tell you how thankful I am to restart and change my mindset and be a new me! Thanks for your videos!
That's really a big driving force for me. I have wanted a restart button for so long and this is an opportunity for me to be a new me. I'm glad to be able to go through it with you, too!
You are doing so great! You are already experiencing the mental part of the battle. I am thankful I went through with it. I had no quality of life before. I was merely existing. Now I am getting out and living. I can tell you that the mind is the hardest part of it all. I have been wanting to snack and eat more lately when I am absolutely not even hungry. It is just my head telling me I want something to eat or snack on. Old habits, a lifetime of them... that is the tough part. The hardest part of the whole surgery to me was the pre op liquid diet and then right after surgery, the nausea the first day. The gas pain that most people have right after surgery, I was fortunate enough not to have. The pain for me was minimal. I just felt very sore getting up and down each time to walk or go to the bathroom. You will have at first regrets, thinking what the heck have I done to myself? But, it goes away as you start feeling better. This is normal. You are already getting your mind set. That is the main advice I can give you. Stay focused on the positives and the end result. Focus on the life you are gaining rather than the food you are losing. I still have moments when things taste really good and I want more or to even finish whet I have but my body says NO. lol It is all worth it. No regrets. I have to remind myself that this feels better than that food taste!!
Thank you so much for your insight and experience! I have found so much help in the online communities and it really puts me at ease to see so many people going through the same things!
