Hello Everyone my name is Lisa and I get my band on the 27th Im so nervous but excited at the same time. I have not told my family i am doing this other than my husband. I don't want to hear negitive feed back. I am ready for the new me! I do keep thinking about all the things I wont be able to eat and it makes me want to go eat at all the places i love This is going to be great journey I can't wait to see myself by summer this is going to be the greatest thing I have ever done for ME! I can't wait to get a closet full of new clothes. I want to lose about 100lbs maybe 120 how cool it will be and to go to my high school reunion that i have avoided and see the people that I havent seen in years. I look forward to the energy that i am going to have and get out and play with my kids. My husband is afraid that I will leave him after this I think that is why when I brought this up a year ago he was so against it. What doesnt help is his best friend of 25 years wife left him after 27 years of marriage after she had her surgery. I told him i wasn't going anywhere and that im not starting over (training lol) with anyone else. I am taking care of me... Good luck to everyone next week. Protein shake glasses up everyone here's to the new us ! Bring on the new thinner us 2011!
