Feeling Nervous

This lapband has become an obsession of sorts. I'm starting to tweak my diet and introduce more liquids, in prep for my 2 week pre-op, which hasn't even been scheduled yet. I haven't even had my first official consultation. (I'm hoping about 2 weeks from now).

 

Until then I've been on various forums and going through other blogs. I keep reading about everyone's frustration, and I wonder, will that be me?

Will that be me doing a 20,000$ surgery to only lose 20lbs? Will that be me who is complaining of all the pain and how I can barely get liquids down or the opposite, how I don't have any restriction? Will that be me, going through all of this, only to be disappointed and scarred? (literally and figuratively):sneaky:

 

I'm going to give it my best. I'm going to follow Dr's orders, as well as keep working out and striving for a healthier me. I want nothing more than to be blogging about all my success---hardships, yes, but success--and not someone who is blogging about their frustrations, pain, confusion, and loss of hope. :w00t:
