I won't be banded until 8/24 and this month seems to be draaaaaaagging!!!! I just saw a video of myself....talk about a dose of reality! Normally I would've been devastated with seeing my body as it really is, and I still kind of am, but this time I know that a change is coming and that 6 months-1 year down the road will be very different for me. I just can't wait to start this journey!!

I totally know what you mean. The month I got banded seemed SO long. Hang in there. It will be here before you know it!

It flies by too once you've been through it. Congrats to you and yes next year will be awesome!

I am with you I will be banded August 31st ahhh everyday I read these posts and I can't wait to be the one saying todays the day. But every hour is even in slow motion.

I know what you mean about seeing your self and knowing this will be long gone soon. I am going to a wedding August 24 and seeing alot of friends i haven't seen in a while I just want to say "look I might be big now but next time you see me I won't"

MissE44, I will also be banded 8/31 in Dallas. Ready to be on the other side.
