Any time I hear people describe Bandster Hell I think of Rodney Atkins song as a motivator!
Yep! When I get to Bandster Hell, I am going to play this as my fight song! I like the chorus, and the message to keep on going and eventually I will get out. It is a country song by Rodney Atkins...It's going to be great motivation!

"If You're Going Through Hell"
Well you know those times
When you feel like there's a sign there on your back
Says I don't mind if ya kick me
Seems like everybody has
Things go from bad to worse
You'd think they can't get worse than that
And then they do
You step off the straight and narrow
And you don't know where you are
Use the needle of your compass
To sew up your broken heart
Ask directions from a genie
In a bottle of Jim Beam
And she lies to you
That's when you learn the truth
If you're going through hell
Keep on going, don't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there
Well I been deep down in that darkness
I been down to my last match
Felt a hundred different demons
Breathing fire down my back
And I knew that if I stumbled
I'd fall right into the trap that they were laying, yeah
But the good news
Is there's angels everywhere out on the street
Holding out a hand to pull you back up on your feet
The one's that you've been dragginig for so long
You're on your knees
You maight as well be praying
Guess what I'm saying
If your going through hell
Keep on going, don't slow down
If you're scared don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, If you're going through hell
Keep on moving, face that fire
Walk right through it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there
If you're going through hell
Keep on going, don't slow down
If you're scared don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, If you're going through hell
Keep on moving, face that fire
Walk right through it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, you might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there.

Down 15 pounds pre-op Me too! And you know the angels that he is referring to that hold their hands out to pull you up onto your feet? Those angels are the wonderful supportive people that are constantly replying to people's post and help questions and encouraging them and reminding them that they have done it and we can too. The wonderful people here on the Lap Band Board. It really is a catchy song.
Take care!
I love that song...and in 2 weeks I will have a reason to sing it...I will begin my pre-op diet!!!
Thanks for the reminder!
