Approval!

I finally got approved for the Lap Band surgery. Surgery date is Dec 4 and I am ready. This weight loss journey has been long and emotional. I am allowing myself the last few weeks to binge and then November 1, 2008 I start the cutbacks. The liquid diet starts Nov 20 which is two weeks before surgery...no turkey day food for me! Trying to bribe my mom into cooking a small dinner for me ahead of time so I can try to enjoy the dressing and homemade dumplings. She said no at first but I am her baby girl so hopefully she will have some soft feelings for me. Anyway, this is a change and I am going to go to counseling soon plus I have to have all the blood tests run etc.

The exercise starts next week because I am afraid of the loose skin so hopefully with cardio and strength training, it will be minimal.

Otherwise things are okay. Not sure why I have the blah's but I am hoping they pass soon.

Til next time...Be Blessed.
