The great band journey

It never goes away unfortunately... we just have to find new coping strategies ....... but often the first reaction to binge is so instant we don't stand a chance lol I certainly don't have time to think 'oh lets find something to occupy my brain' its normally shovel it in and worry about it later....well done for coping..........so pleased he came back safe n sound.....life was certainly sent to try us eh:) x x
 
Whoa! That sure is a stressful day. Thank god it's all ok. You must have been so worried. I don't think our heads will ever truely get over the urge to binge, comfort eat etc but today you have proved to yourself that you can say NO & there is another way. If you can do it today, you can do it again & again & again & you will be the winner. Well done
 
Wowee massive stress you must have been beside yourself. I'm working on food no longer being my coping mechanism. It's a slow process but start to swap it with something else and your mind set will catch up eventually x
 
Another 2lb gone! Yippee, that's me at 5stone now!
Just 1lb away from the 'normal' BMI bracket!! This time next week I will be there.
13lb to goal 12 weeks until my deadline! Just a smudge over 1lb a week will see me there! OMG I could actually do this!
 
Hi I have just read all you diary and just wanted to congratulate you on your achievment so far. I have my band booked for next month and am a little apprehensive that it wont work but reading diarys like this really helps me believe this could be possible and i can get to my ideal weight.
 
Thanks guys,
Lalole, good luck with it Hun, don't get me wrong it hasn't been easy, I have dieted the whole way and live on just 800 calories a day, but I very rarely feel real hunger anymore, which is great, it's just the head hunger that gets to you!! But I would do it again!
Kirsty, thank you for always being here, I often feel like on outsider on these boards, like I'm not in the 'inner circle' but you've always been so lovely. I know this is my problem, no one else's!
Was so pleased when I saw my nurse for my fill on Friday, she was so excited at how well I looked like I'd done she didn't even let me sit down, she wanted me straight on the scales! It was over 18lb since my last fill two months before.
 
Ok, so another week, another weigh in. 2lb down for me! This makes me 9st 9lb! And most importantly I am now within a healthy BMI!!
 
Im prepared for a battle/struggle whatever i just need to do this for me, so im looking to you ladies for inspiration and tips, been reading loads of diaries and its nice to see other people struggle and have the same issues with food as i do x
 
Thanks Niccie, I'm not that small, a 10-12 really, I'm short at just 5'2 so only just normal BMI, I aim to get into the 8 stone barrier...
 
Moo. Being in the inner circle is way too exhausting - better watch from the side lines. I feel excluded from the inner circle of most things I am involved in. I have posted on my diary about the hurt I can feel about this. But I realise I'm just not invested enough and often retreat when I'm in a bad place - keep posting and feel the love on here - I think we all care deeply for one another and the highs and lows WLS involves xxxxx
 
See Kirsty, always there xx my confidence is slowly increasing and as such my anxiety is lowering, which is great, still a long way to go! But things are changing, I start college in a few weeks, have been offered a voluntary job on a maternity ward, have set the ball in motion to become a befriender for the Stillbirth and neonatal death society (SANDS) all with a view to getting a place at uni by 2017 in midwifery!! It's incredibly competitive and the uni I need to go to gets 1000 applicants for 35 spaces!! I've always pushed it to one side thinking I couldn't do it! But now I want to try, scary, but it would be amazing!!!
 
Wow! What a great goal long term and mini challenges in between. My sister in law was a midwife in the uk. She moved to Phoenix and can't practice there. She had to retrain and is doing a degree and now works as a specialised obstetrics nurse. And still gets to deliver when the obstetric surgeon gets there after its all happened. Midwifes are rare and they need to study to a doctorate level

Glad your on the up and up xxxx
