Exactly Michelle - Don't get me wrong, but I have been struggling with this for the past year. I have not had the surgery yet.... am still looking into it.... I don't want to fall off the bandwagon after I get it done, go through all the pain and find out that there is something stopping me from getting my stupid weight off. I do love food, I love to eat when I am happy, when I am sad, when I feel good, when it's there, but a lot of times, I don't know when I am full, there is no feeling of fullness that other people experience. I don't want to get depressed like Jenn and I know myself, definitely feel like a failure after I have talked my whole family into supporting me into getting this surgery done. I don't really know what kind of rigorous effort I will have to go through to get this nasty, undesireable, ugly weight off. I guess I should say, if I wanted two pieces of chicken, my husband would gladly get me two, etc. There was never, "honey, don't you think 1 piece is enough?" Same way when I was a child. I was the kid that would eat, my sister would sit and eat like a bird. They would threaten her with the kids in China are starving, but they never had to threaten me with that because I cleaned my plate. Food was and is and has been always great tasting..... I'm afraid the band might not work for me. What do any of you think that have had it? Should I live with my fat or try another diet or try this? I have asked God, but so far he hasn't answered me yet. My Pastor says I need to be quiet and listen for him to speak to me, but I multi task too much, and patience isn't one of my best qualities just yet. ha ha.
