Pre-op

Well, the pre-op diet pretty much sucks! I'm a starvin marvin... and it's only day two! Eight more days to go. I can do this!

 

I'm still trying to figure out which band to get. It seems Dr. Pitt is correct that it doesn't really matter which one he uses. I like the way that realize band attaches to the port and I like the low profile port as well. Silvia explained that the lap band port could be changed but I'm seeing $$$'s there. So, I am leaning pretty heavy to the realize band at the moment. I really like the band design of the lap band and the band is actually the thing that's going to be doing the work....decisions decisions.

 

I'm ready for a STEAK!!! If I close my eyes and imagine this protein shake is a steak do you think it would taste like one?

 

Oh well...life goes on ...you can not have what you've never had unless you're willing to do what you've never done. So, I'm doin it!

I did the realize! I also liked how it hooked in. Guess we will wait and see. You can do this! WE are in this together. Arb was banded today by Pitt. Everything went well.

My problem is I'm freaking starving!!!! Go figure huh? Get the band to stop hunger and I'm the hungriest I've ever been! lol oh well!
