Almost clear, date in the future for banding

Sheesh, this time around is the hardest. They called me and told me that they saw an abnormality when I did the stress test. I told them I am fine, they were just seeing things. The doc then said there are at times false positives, and he wants me to do an angiogram. Friday (this past), I did the angiogram..THEY FOUND NOTHING!!! unbelievable waste of time..it is frustrating, i understand they want to make sure im ok but still, nothing changed from 2 years ago to now...anyway..so now i am cleard, I wait for the date...

4 days til pre-op diet

TRYIN TO GET IN ONE LAST TIME ALL THE BAD STUFF...BUT I FEEL GUILTY..IN MY PREVIOUS BLOGS I WROTE THAT FOOD IS COMFORT..SO NOW WHAT WILL I HAVE? THERES A REASON WHY WHEN WE CRY WE REACH FOR A BURGER OR WHEN WE'RE MAD WE GRAB A CIG (I QUIT SMOKING 3 YEARS AGO).   I BOUGHT EVERY FLAVOR OF CRYSTAL LIGHT AND PUT IT IN MY DRAW AT WORK. I GOT RID OF ALL THE COFFEE CUPS ( CUZ I DRINK COFFEE XTRA SWEET XTRA CREAM). NOTHIN BUT THE GOOD STUFF   I CAN DO THIS...IM PRETTY SURE

2nd thoughts

my b/f doesnt want me to go through with this. the price for the fee is so much (more than i can afford). i keep thinking i can do so much for $300.00 (its an enrollment fee they charge). im on the fence again. i dont know what to do..im on day 2 of liquids and so damn depressed its killing me. my daughter is crying because in 2 weeks she's turning 13 and she really doenst want me doing this and no matter how i explain it, she s sad....im 240 5'3..not HUGE..but enough to make me sick when i look in the mirror...i have no health issues..other than im fat....this decision is killing me. i dont know if im doing the right thing...
