Well it is official. I got my surgery date today. I'm excited and a little worried. I hope I can do this. OK. I think I an do this. OK. I know I can do this. OK. I have to do this. Was that a pep talk or what. I get banded August 4th. I start liquid diet on July 30th. I think that will be the hardest part. Im not worried about the actual surgery. Im just ready to get this underway. I am ready for a change in my life.

I meet with the Dr next Wednesday and then it should be 5 days till surgery. I dont have a final date yet, but if my math is right it should be around the last week in July. I'm excited.

So , I am going to start the process this week. I have only one concern that I was hoping I could get some feedback and insite to. My concern is that I dont want to dread meals. I still want to be able to sit down with my family and enjoy dinner. I have heard some negative reactions to this . What can ya'll tell me?
