I told myself I would start blogging "right after" my procedure....I am now 8 days out...and I have had a gammet of emotions!!...I've felt excited, hesitant, sore, punished, deprived and sad....I really don't think we get a FULL grasp of what this journey is going to be like until we're "banded"...you read blogs and posts and think "oh, it can't be too bad"....then when you are banded...it IS that bad!!....up until now I can "start over again tomorrow"....but this time......this time.....I created an intervention for myself with the Lap Band....yet 8 days into this I wonder if there is anyway to "cheat" it....realizing this makes me feel like a junkie....which in essense I am.....I'm a foodie.......I pray through I am a foodie this time I will be able to get it all together and be the ME I want to Be!!!.....I need to find ways to talk myself into success this time.....tell myself failure is NOT an option....not anymore....not to this chic.....I got this device FOR ME....this journey is ABOUT ME....and for once...I will NOT let myself down.....or intentionally sabotage myself.....I deserve this.....don't we all??? *sighs*...just some random "to myself thoughts"

I am exactly one month away....but you guys will do GREAT!!!!....Kellee you are gorgeous already....just turnin up the heat!!....Good luck to all of you!!!
