Hi
I have just joined this site and its fantastic! The buddy system is such a great idea, I know I would really benefit from some support.
I am due to get my band on Monday and I'm torn between really looking forward to it and excited, to being very nervous and scared!
I have been following a 1000 cal diet for the last week and have lost 8lbs so far, so I am feeling quite positive. My first target is to get to 168lbs, if, or really I should say when :thumbup:, I get there I will decide if I need to loose some more.
My life is about to become very hectic over the next few weeks as in just over 4 weeks I am emigrating from the UK to Maine USA. I realised that if I didnt get this op now I never would. I have psos and have fibromyalgia so after the last few years of being unable to be active the weight has just crept up and up.
I am married with 3 kids and I am doing this for them as much as myself, I want to me the kind of person who takes part in life instead of watching from the sidelines.
Best wishes to all of you on this journey.
