Day before surgery

Last day of "old" habits and new beginnings!! My sister in Ohio is flying in to help me over the weekend and my neice comes in tonight! These events have been great distractions for me!! I have focused on their visits vs. going under the knife. Like most women, I want my house in order and I have managed to accomplish this! Just need a few groceries and we are all set. I call the surgery center after 11 today to get my surgery time tomorrow! Praying it is before lunch tomorrow so I don't have to be totured by not eating longer than necesary!! I will be taking a pic in the am so we can track the progress! Thanks for everyones prayers and support for Kenny and I!!

2 weeks before the beginning of my new life

As some of you know I am scheduled for Lap Band Surgery on 9/28. I am feeling a whole range of emotions to say the least, but hopeful most of all that I will be successful at this and more healthy on the other side. This weekend starts the pre-op diet which consist of a low-carb, no caffeine, no soda, etc. My sister recommended that I blog about the process. I plan to commit to doing this for a year and post pics along the way. It should be interesting to look back at the progress!
