Upper G.I.

Mar 26, 2014

Well, I had my upper GI done on Tuesday 3/25. Doctor said band looked good. No erosion, no slip, no visible issues.  That makes me feel a bit better.  I weighed in at 259, exactly 50 pounds more than my lowest banded weight and 50 pounds less than my all time high weight.  I am now waiting for official approval and a surgery date. I cannot wait to get sleeved and be back to losing.  My real goal weight (set by me) is to be at 159.  I will compromise and be happy at 175.  That means I have between 84 to 100 pounds to loose.  I know I can get there.  I am ready to start this journey...again.  I just find that I am less excited this time around than I was when I got my band.  I wonder why?  Part of me thinks its because of my disappointment with the band failing.  Maybe I am afraid the sleeve will fail too?  I was so committed with the band. I followed every rule they gave me...exercise, only eat until you're full, chew thoroughly, don't drink with meals, no soda, etc.  But yet, the band ended up too full/ too loose and I started eating all the crap I shouldn't have been able to eat.  I hope and pray this journey takes me down the right path.
