Today the surgeon's office called and gave me the big date. April 23rd. I am both excited and a little scared. But I have been preparing for two months, doing lots of journaling, even writing some poems about my feelings. Not that I am a poet, but the ones I have seem to express things I have been trying to say. Hubby is very supportive, but I know he is tired of my talking about the band. I am glad I have you and my journal. I am espcailly looking for things that will replace stuffing my face while reading book. What do you all do to replace eatng in your life?

April 23 will be here before you know it. I'm happy for you. I know how hard it is to wait. I'm constantly having a hard time not eating (but I don't have good restriction) I try to keep drinking water and I walk now that the weather is getting better.
