OK... so surgery is less than 3 weeks away! Have my final doctor's appointment this afternoon to get my Pulmonary clearance. All my paperwork has been sent in and I will be all set.
My problem is I can't get over this feeling that I need to eat everything and anything I see now! I've done really well in weaning off my diet cokes and caffeine (one a day now - and several days of no diet cokes at all). But everytime I eat I think... well, better enjoy this - won't be able to have it again! I'm going to blow up like a balloon in the next two weeks if I'm not careful!
I made a conscious decision not to tell a lot of people that I was having the surgery - just didn't want everyone knowing all my business... and I know a lot of people think that this is taking the easy way out. But really, I don't see it as being any different than doing weight watchers or Nutrisystem, etc. - it's a tool and if I don't use the tool in the way it was intended, I'm not going to lose weight. The biggest difference I see is that this tool makes it a little harder to "cheat". But I know from going through this with my hubby that it is possible (and quite easy I might add) to gain weight with a lapband!
The other day my BFF told me that I was her motivation - I've never been anyone's motivation for anything before! Maybe that's an extra added benefit that I didn't count on - but if we can motivate each other and be a support to each other throughout this journey, I'm all for it!
Stay tuned...
