I can't believe it's finally happening. TOMORROW is the day! I get rid of this damn band and get my sleeve. I'm having my last few sips of water as midnight approaches. I'm starting to get very nervous about the IV, the pain after surgery, hoping I'll be successful. It's been such a long struggle with this lapband. Ugh! I am confident though and feeling positive and ready to start my new life! Ahhhh!!!!

Thanks you guys for thinking of me. Well, it was hell for a few days, I won't lie. But wow can't get over how much better I feel with every passing day. Getting out of that hospital was really important. I had general anxiety just being there. Every time someone came in for SOMETHING.. I was just like ugh.. please, enough. Recovering though. Enjoying my chicken broth and jello, trying to find new variety of things to have, and there isn't much. My husband found crystal light popsicles at walmart. I ordered some unjury chicken soup broth, which I've had before.. not amazing tasting, but gets chicken soup in you along with 20g protein. I think keeping protein up is important. Anyway, I have to continue on with what I'm doing and see my surgeon on Wednesday. He will snip the stitch and take this drain out. (can't wait for that) and hopefully after that I will really start to feel back to normal. I am working on my grocery list for stage two, which doesn't start until October 3rd, yikes! I'd better chill out and be paitent. HOw's everyone doing? My doc gave my husband pictures from the surgery, saw the band, the stomach part removed, really fascinating. I just looked at them today. Can't believe that band is gone!
