Danish Journey with Two Balloons
I've started my first journey with gastric balloon in october 2017 and one year forward. In that year i've struggled with some issues, but the result in the end was worth it all. -58 kg in one year, and my life was changed for real!
Back then i was 28 years old, living with my boyfriend and everything was loverable! but ... As times passed by, i've started to thinking about my satisfaction when i looked in the mirror, but i coulden't recognize myself mentally. It's like i had to recreate my identity, because it's not only your body that's going through a major change, it's your mind too.
It all ended like a little bit of hell. Droped my boyfriend pass 4 years, moved home to my mom, just focused on my fitness and my job. At last i had to give up and give in. My mind was seriously fucked, and one morning i told my mom just 5 words, that changed my whole future. "I Can't do this anymore" .. My mom knows me better than anyone, and she saw how bad i was. This was the result of me not remember to allways take control over your mind at listning to the signals your mind and body is sendning out.
I got fired from my job, got sick leave for more than one year, and started on antidepressant and psychologist. Shortly said - I was restarted as human. It was insanely hard to not be able to do whatever i wanted, but necessary.
Let's jump to the 20th of March 2020! I'm back on track, got my shit together, got my prince charming, living in a house with him and out dog, got a great job, better that i've ever imagined, and my health and my mind have not been better in years! one thing went wrong i my progress. I gained toooooooo much weight and i was sick and tired of letting this happen. But many aspects was a part of this, and especially the medicine. So what to do? Do the thing you know you've succeeded with once before.
I called Nordic Gastric balloon, and my stepfather who also had a balloon for one year had my back, and said he would do this with me. Let's get one more - together! Deal ..
Know i've had Elipse balloon for one month and it was the right decision. everything is going so well! i've lost about 7 kg, a bit slow but safe! better safe than sorry! this time i'm prepared mentally and my focus is to eat as normal food as possible, just smaller portions because i want to live like this, healthy but with the space to take some time off, after my balloon time, so i'm trying to turn this in to a habit now, so my body will be prepared for for this when the balloon is gone. then i'm setting goals every week, diffrent goals. whis week is to walk more than 12000 step every day.
I'm so excited to reach my goals, which is - 20 kg and be happy about what i see in the once again! - I know i can do this, and so can you! despite the side effects with balloon it's all worth it if your 100% prepared physically and mentally!
