Don't know why I'm nervous

I think because everything was so up in the air before I got approved that now it is sinking in that I could be banded soon. Tonight I have my first seminar and there I get the numbers of the people I have to meet with before I get my surgery date. I know nothing is set in stone until you get your surgery date but I still can't help but have butterflies in my stomach. I know this is something I want to do but I guess it still doesn't feel like it's going to happen until it is actually happening. Damn military living. LOL If you are a military spouse you would understand the concept of not being sure of anything until it's actually happening. Even then it still can be changed. I'm excited to see what information I get from this class. I'm sure I'll learn more than what I have gathered myself. Also I can't wait to meet other people that have had it done also. At least this way I can get an overview of how this doctor is and how their hospital stay was. I can't wait until this day will be over. I know driving to the seminar I'll be smiling the whole way. LOL :thumbdown:

Better than I thought

I just told my hubby that I'm going through the steps to have the lap band done. He was surprisingly receptive to the idea. He just said that I thought that is what I needed to do then he was all for it. For some reason I thought he would try to talk me out of it by saying all I needed was a good diet and exercise but he already knew about the lap band and what I had to do once I had it done. Apparently he did his own research, I can only assume because he was thinking of bringing it up to me attention. Who knows? The only thing I'm happy about is how he reacted and he even said to let him know how everything goes with my appointments. I was stressing for nothing.

5 lbs down, Umpteen more to go!

I finally lost 5 lbs. It's only been a month trying to work it off. It felt like I was working against myself since during this time I was also on my cycle and I am notorious for gaining weight during that time. Now I have to work to keep it off and lose more. I'm not sure how much the doctor will want me to lose before he will do the surgery but I figure it will be good to lose some before hand and be in the habit that way when he says I need to lose 3 or 5 lbs or whatever it will be a cake walk.

1 appointment down umpteen more to go...

Today I just had my fitness eval and everything went great. He just spoke to me about how exercise is great for me and how I should exercise as much as possible. Since I'm already doing that I should have no trouble. I'm excited that I'm one step closer to receiving my surgery date! Tomorrow I have my nutritionist appointment and the bariatric coordinator told me that she will help me with a diet to get my weight down some before I actually have surgery. I'm looking forward to what she has in store for me. Also tomorrow I get to schedule my psych eval since my nutritionist is first thing in the morning I can schedule that right afterwards. I'm still so psyched about this everyday I know I've made the right decision. I'm finally putting myself first. :cursing:
