Band day= Rebirth

On Wednesday December 1, 2009 I was given a second opportunity in life. My secret weapon and relationship hold daily struggles and triumphs. I am mentally prepared and focused and understand one day at a time and keeping it simple- count calories and exercise to burn is my personal key to sucess.

What is yours?

Hey Kassandra,

I was banded same day as you. I like your attitude and feel the same way. I am so excited about this entire journey. I am ready to take it on and push it to the limits. I have been on a liquid diet since 11/15 and will be until doctor visit to remove stitches on 12/16. I am following doctors orders to the tee and excercising as much as I can. I was walking two miles a day prior to surgery and have started again yesterday walking 1 mile and today 1.3 miles and building back up daily. I am determined to make this work. I know this whole thing boils down to mind and will power and the band is a guiding tool. You have to use it wisely and correctly and it is a tool like no other, but you hold the key to the whole thing and without your focus it won't work, with it and the sky is the limit. Best of luck to you and keep us posted.
