I am scheduled as a self pay for November 30th, 2011. I am 225 pounds - give or take... I am so excited to start my banded journey. I have started listening to my tummy to tell me when I am satisfied. I am breaking a sweat 2-3 times a week. I am eating my protien first. These are the things I am going to do over the next 2 months in preperation for my post-op success.. I need to work on my glass or two of wine at the end of a long day... but that will come with time I guess.

I am preping my husband to help him understand how much I will be able to eat once I hit my "sweet spot". He is 185#, 5'11'' and in great shape. He is so sexy... IMO... I am discusting, IMO, but he thinks I am the sexiest woman alive... WTF!?!?!? Has he looked at me lately?? The picture of me on this website is of me two years ago at 170#, yeah I can lose the weight but then I just gain it back + more... Frig! I need this tool to help me keep it off!! Once I work up the courage I will post pre-op pictures of me at 225. Then my goal is to post pictures once a month to keep me on track..

Cheers bandsters!! I cannot wait to be one!!
