11 Days to go - But who's counting?
Jul 09, 2007
I am! I can't wait. I am not experiencing any anxiety yet, just excitement! There is alot going on in my life right now and it might be keeping me grounded~ If that is the case, I can't help but thank God for keeping me distracted!
Pre-op appointment is Thursday. That might get me to the nervous point, but I don't really think so. I see this as a positive situation. After all the research I have done and all the time I had to wait to get an all clear on the cancer, I can't help but think this time is going to be different. I will wake up banded!
The pre-op diet sucks! I will confess to a little cheating, but I have lost 15 pounds since June 30th. Usually, I put it back on ~ plus somehow, I seem to add a few pounds on for good measure. If I had a dime for every pound I had gained or lost, I would have enough money saved to do my reconstructive surgery after paying for the lap band!
I can't tell you how ready I am to get this done!

13 days to go!

Just 13 days until I am banded. During the last go round, I was nervous. Now I am really just very excited! I started the low carb diet on June 30th and have already lost 13 pounds. If it were that easy to lose the weight and keep it off, I would be okay. But, let's face it, if it were that easy everyone would be thin. Losing weight is only half the battle. If I can't win the entire battle and change the way I look at food, it isn't worth the effort. The band is going to give me a tool that I can use to lose the weight.
I have had some doubts. I have actually had several people question my reasons for having it done. I realize that I must do this now. This isn't about being super thin. It is about being able to keep up with an active 3 year child that I love with all of my heart. Even more importantly, it is about making certain I change how I look at food so that she gets positive examples and never has to face the challenges I have faced.
