    it is all nerves, and to top it all off I woke up this morning(3 days before surg) and both my kids have colds. So now my focus is to try and stay healthy for the next 3 days... im totally freaking out, i really am... im sanitizing like a crazy woman, but i guess if i get sick it'll be postponed and boy i will be really depressed. say alittle prayer for me that i stay healthy!!! a fill will totally do the trick to get u back on track, you'll do great, the weight will fall of you!!

    Hi all amy here again, Im going to be banded in 4 days and i thought to keep myself and others focused on why we are going through this journey, id write some of the things i hate most about being fat. Please feel free to add things!! I HATE BEING FAT BECAUSE.... 1. my underware constantly rolls under my belly (unless of course im wearing grannie panties) 2. tying my shoe is a pain in the ass 3. going up the stairs should NOT be that much work. 4. Fat people clothes are UGLY... why do they think because we're fat we must be blind or have terrible taste and insist on being without style. 5.can't run and play with my kids for more than 5 minutes. 6. back to the clothes...not all fat women are tall with big boobs...im 5' tall and only have a b cup... finding clothes are a chore! 7. THE BEACH/BATHING SUITS need i say more about that??!! 8. my shorts always rise up in the thighs... oh so pretty. 9. CHAFFING!!!!! 10.ignorant people asking when your due... oh that one really hurt! 11. the dreaded muffin top (mine is more like an entire cake lol) 12. fitting into a tight booth ( not the most enjoyable dineing experience) those are just a few.... I'd love to hear your hates!!! amy

    hi i was sticking to the diet for about a week. I was thinking the same way u are, and then I slipped and ate stuff that i probably shouln't have, and then it all became clear why i need the band... its easy to stay on track for a week, but its the long term that we are all striving for. without the band there has not been and never will be a long term. amy
