I met with my surgeon for the final time before my surgery yesterday! I go to the hospital on Monday to get all of my preop testing done. Then if all goes as planned, I will be banded on January 15th! I start my 2 week liquid diet on New Year's Day. I plan to go shopping later tonight for all the things I need to begin the diet. My hubby has decided that he could lose a little weight also so he's gonna do the diet with me in the evenings so I won't be so tempted! I'm planning on cooking some things up and freezing them for my 14 year old so he can just heat things up for his supper.

I'm really excited and nervous all at the same time! Just ready to get on with this and hopefully be successful at getting healthy once and for all! I'm nervous about the 2 week diet! I go back to school(kindergarten teacher) the day after I begin the diet and worry about the possible headaches and irritability from not eating! I have a really big class this year--- 27 students( 18 boys and 9 girls!)! So, that in itself has made this year a bit challenging! Just don't want to add to the stress with hunger issues! I know I will get through it though--- just gotta stay focused on the end results! Looking forward to the New Year and all the exciting changes ahead!
