Well - tomorrow (Dec 18th 2014) is the day - I'm being banded!

Waaaaaah!!!!!!!

This last two weeks I have been on nothing but three Protein shakes a day and a bit of salad (no dressing). It's been hard but completely do-able. Only two weepy moments when I was feeling sorry for myself. First world problems, hey?

I've been sleeping beautifully for the first time in ages, so my body is telling me she's happy being a wee bit lighter. I am SO READY to be a helluva lot lighter.

I've lost 15 pounds these past two weeks. I can hardly believe it. Almost lost my jeans walking up Richmond Street today which sent my husband and I into a fit of giggles.

He's so happy for me. I'm lucky to have a great support system.

Tomorrow, 1:20 pm, the next part of the journey begins.

Here we goooooo!

The day before my surgery I was so excited. Just pure bouncy! Everyone said that they had never seen anyone so excited about surgery lol. Congrats hun! Keep us all updated!

Hi there and comgratulatons! I was so excited and you know what? It hasn't gone away! Joy, joy, joy. Good luck with all today. I had never been an overnight patient in a hospital before (and I am 53) so I was a little nervous. It was all so much easier then I thought it would be. Sense of humor helpful for the whole thing -- yet another weigh-in, the signing of documents, gown, being wheeled in, etc. You have an excellent sense of humor, obviously -- that is great! And nice spouse. I walked a lot -- started in right when I woke up, a little further down the hall each time. By morning I was doing some impressive laps - pretty sure that kicked my body right into healing mode, releases trapped gas, etc. Have fun and spoil yourself -- I sure loved my frozen lemonade Popsicles and warm tea those first few days.

Keep us posted ! Good luck!
