Banding tomorrow

[carolsuebee 0]

I am being banded tomorrow. Well, I have made it this far; the 10-day pre-op liquid diet and the process before surgery has taught me several things: 1) What real hunger feels like, 2) that I am an emotional eater, and 3) food should not be used for emotional support. Emotional issues are not hunger issues. I will not die from feeling hunger. I guess I am a little nervous about what it will be like when I am banded. I wonder how my life will change as a result of the weight loss. This is a major change and I do feel the seriousness of my decision. I have never known what it's like to be of a normal weight. I will have fun rediscovering myself and it all begins tomorrow.
