Ive had a few people ask me how Im going with my most recent lap band adjustment. Well the truth is its been a little hard mentally - I still love my food albeit healthier food these days. But just eating in general - amazing restaurants with friends, trying new things, its something that my husband and I love, and having the adjustment takes that element out of my life. Having said that, there is a reason I had gastric banding and thats because I love food a little too much and I need a tool to control myself as that particular part of my brain functions in the same way as that of any addict. My husband is so genuinely wonderful about it. He is someone who prefers me with a few more kilos on my frame (he did meet me when I was a size 16-18). However he is so beautifully complimentary no matter how I look. And so tolerant of the many day to day hurdles being married to a banded woman has. The poor man eats far more soup than any grown man should have to, he has to deal with limitations on restaurants we dine at, my lack of appetite, me struggling to find something appropriate to eat and having to move from menu to menu on our nights out. And sometimes he has to deal with my emotional and physical responses to not being able to eat whatever I want. Never a word of complaint. Never a this isnt worth it. I prefer you chubbier anyway. Just patience and understanding. So here are a few hello summer pics, taken this morning. When my marriage is perfect, Im happy, healthy and my body looks like this, how can I possibly say I made the wrong decision?
