Hello Everyone,

I believe I may have experienced almost the best day in my life so far. I have been accepted for lap band surgery and I have a date which the surgery will take place. Since I decided I definately wanted to have the surgery a couple of months back, I must have subconsciously been holding my breath in because today I feel like i've started breathing again. The relief is indescribable. While I thought the probability of me not being accepted was small, I was still quite worried.

One thing I contemplated is that I will be completing the mushy food stage over Christmas. While this doesn't worry me, I do find it hilarious. It will be funny to see my family's reaction. They are all SUPER supportive, but it will still be funny. :laugh:

While the surgery date is still a little while off, I am happy because it gives me some more time to read up on other's stories and become mentally prepared. I'm hoping to bypass the stage of grieving food. We have our wedding in October, 2010 people, I DO NOT have time to grieve something that has helped cause me to be the person I am today!

Now i've updated, i'm off to finish preparing dinner. Curried chicken and rice. YUM :laugh:
