Here is the start of a journey for the rest of my life!

here's how it's gone so far....

Feb. 11- First meeting with Dr. Chung

Feb. 18- APPROVED and got a surgery date!~

Feb. 25- 2nd appointment. got all my info

to start liquid diet on 2-26.

Went eat at Johnny Carino's for my 'last supper'. really was a stressfull dinner with the kids and the food was cold. Didn't stop me. I had Spicy Shrimp and chicken.

February 26th.

Today, it seems very easy. Five days from now? i don't know if i'll still say the same thing! HA!

i went to Sam's and to Wally world to stock up and look for some of the things i will need before and after banding.

so far today i have had 1 cup of carnation instant breakfast (chocolate) and water.....and it's 3 p.m.! yikes...that's not good!

I took my BP meds 1 1/2 pills and 2 flintstone vite's!

I have worked on clothes today also. i want to have the house all straightened, and hopefully really clean so i can come home to a clean house and the 'boys' can keep things up until we get someone in here to help.

The babies will go to mom's Monday (3-2) and stay until Friday (3-6). Mom will bring them here and stay the night. I'm going to miss them so much, but i REALLY could use the break and this is a perfect time..... i can't do much, so i'll have to take care of ME while they are gone!

I don't want to be fat anymore. is this a drastic approach? maybe, but it will make me happy with myself, and i NEED that right now.

I need to feel good, look better, have more energy, be more healthy....and i need to teach my children that this is important!

hubby is going to grill burgers tonight so i don't have to cook. I think while they eat, i will go take a LONG bath and relax.

:cursing: this is gonna be me in 5 days! lol
