Feb 23 Surgery Date (So excited)

[trish151 33]

I have less than a week to go now. I am so excited. I started doing everything I can to prepare myself for success. I tell myself daily affirmations of how well this IS going to work this time. I have been working out and trying to loose as much as I can pre-op. I figure it has to come off some time. It may as well start now. I walked 30,000 steps today, drank my Protein Shakes, had a couple of bites of home made beef Jerky with no sugar and I feel so excited. Hope everyone else is as excited as me. I have been overweight since I was 16 (40) now and my wonderful (skinny butt) husband has promised me a whole new wardrobe when I reach a place where I am comfortable. Shopping trip, here I come.

Best of luck to you!! I too am getting my band on February 23rd. All the hard work will pay off. Sounds like you have a great support system in place.

A whole new wardrobe would motivate me

Congrats and keep us up to date on your journey!!

My surgery is the day after yours - on the 24th. I too am excited (and scared) as I have been overweight since I was a child. I remember being told by my mother that I had to wear a size 16 jeans in the 6th grade. At this point, I'd be perfectly happy to get back to that size again. Good luck to you!

Woo Hoo HStanley, we are twinkies! Where are you having your's done at? I will be in Dallas, TX but I live about 2 hours away. Are you getting more excited as it gets closer? Just a few more days.
