Well I haven't lost anything for about 4 weeks now. But the good thing is I haven't gained either. I'm told this is normal and I will start losing again, eventually. I also have to remember that what the scale says doesn't necessarily mean what I weigh. How you ask? Because my measurements are alot less than that. You can lose inches before you lose pounds. And I know that my clothes are starting to get lose again. Which is a great thing because then I can move down to a size 12. I also know that from my progress that I have lost 84% of my body weight. The doctor said that they would like you to lose at least 50% of your body weight in the first year. Well I have passed that by awhile ago. So I am ahead of schedule. I have 19lbs to go until the doctors goal.
Here's my point. I am not here to brag about my weight. I am here to hopefully inspire others that are having a hard time or who are thinking about getting the lapband. Having been a slave to food for most of my adult life. I KNOW what it's like. And I also know that you can't do it alone. No matter how hard you try, you need the support of others to keep you going. I also know that everyone hits bumps in the road. After all we aren't perfect (yes that's correct you aren't perfect). The object is to pick yourself back up and try again. I hate to use the phrase if you fall off your bike get back up and brush yourself off, and then get back on the bike. That phrase is used way to much. Instead I will say, everyone falls off the path into the thorn bushes. Your friends are the ones that will pick those thorns out of your ass and lead you back to the path. Those that don't care, will leave the thorns and drive them further and further into your skin until you give up. Don't let the thorns ruin your life.
