Went to see my doc today. They are super pleased and told me I need to be too. I have accomplished beyond their expectations and that feels pretty awesome. He gave me .5 ccs just as a little head reset. I hadn't had a fill since October and have lost 38 pounds since that one. I love my doctor's office. I would be lost without them....they are cheerleaders and they actually get it. I think bariatric patients, especially bandsters, spend a lot of time with people who don't get it so I see my time in their office as refreshing.
Went to see the addiction therapist I had to see before my surgery. Just thought I would check in with him and discuss some of the changes and the ways I am dealing with them. It is hard for me to be nice to myself. I guess this is very common for the obese who think they deserve to suffer....that we are somehow less human than other people. If I can't punish myself by eating garbage, what can I do? It was a great discussion about guilt, joy and fear of success.
So....here I am, on liquid again for the first time in months....staring these last 60 pounds right in the face. Let's go!
I'm sooo glad that you had such a terrific day! Just the boost you needed!
