Well before my ww journey this time I had booked a gastric band consultation.
This is as Im 40(41 in october) and have yoyoed since I was 18 .......22 years of losing large chuncks of weight and gaining,mentally it gets much harder every try.
I do feel I am doing well this time,I remember when I was 22 I lost 3 stone for my wedding and after I lost it I just went back to how I ate before,not for comfort just got complaciant,now I just am in the mindset that I want to keep this off,I have yoyoed for many reasons,voilent father,alcholic ex husband 8 years infertility treatment,family issues,personal painful things,cheating partner,loneliness,depression but now I see food for comfort makes me more depressed in the low mood sort of way notthe clinically depressed way I was.
I am in week 21 of ww I count the weeks as its habit form cambridge and lighterlife,but I still have 5 stone to go,I know this will take prob 18 more months and god some days are tough,I will clip go off plan and I hope I can get back on it but I have researched meet people know people who have has gastric surgery,I researched it for 2 years beofre booking an appointment,know the risks ,know we have to do plan as we are now and know bands dont always work.
I just feel I need something to stop me regaining? I am below BMI 40 now so they may say no or they will probably say yes as my weight history.
Does anyone feel the same as me?
Thanks x
