I'm banded  and 2 days out from surgery, feeling pretty good.

I'm documenting this whole journey (and a whole bunch of other really big journeys!) on my blog, dragprincess.diaryland.com. Stop by and read (and warning, it's rated PG-13).

5 days before surgery - and I cheated! I had 2 croissants, a bagel with lox spread and a bag of Doritos. Why? Because I was in a terrible mood and only had 1 slimfast and some veggies the whole day. DUMB.

I'm afraid that after surgery I'll ALWAYS be hungry, that I won't know how to eat and count protein or anything like that. I'm freaking out.

OMG. I am HUGE.

Upper Arm = 16"
Chest = 56"
Waist = 62"
Upper Leg = 28"

Starting weight = 290

Had my esophogram today. Felt like I was on a Disneyland ride, as they tilted me on a table that I was leaning against vertically - then VOOM! I was laying down horizontally, clutching a glass of barium. Gag.

I'm going thru people's sites and profiles, desperate to see how much they've lost and in how much time. I want the weight gone ASAP and that makes me think - have I chosen wrong? Should I have done the RNY?
