Wow.. First entry

I made this blog basically to vent... because I am going through an emotional time in my life. Emotions can be written through the keys on my keyboard and present themselves in a orderly fashion on this screen. ....Or so i hope. Emotions are not always orderly.

Well, first and foremost. I have decided to take the journey of being banded. Lap Band. This will help me live a healthier lifestyle as well as keep weight off.

5/10/10- Consultation with my doctor
5/10/10- Phych Eval
5/19/10 - Dietitian
5/20/10 - Started my 2 week liquid opti fast diet
6/1/10 - Pre-Op
6/3/10 - Surgery Date

Today makes day THREE of the liquid diet and I am doing much better. The first two days were EXTREMELY hard. I never endured hunger pains like those in all my life. I was so ready to throw the towel in and quit. Help from fellow banders on lapbandtalk.com and also family .... kept my head high. Today being day three... its a little easier. I am not feeling the extreme discomfort any more. This excites me. I am excited to know that maybe this 2 week liquid diet will be what i need to teach me a new lesson in life. I do not need food to live. I can live off of opti-fast, chicken broth, sugar free popcicles, and jello. o0o sounds so enticing huh?

Today i took dad to see Shrek 3 at IMAX in 3d. He loves IMAX. So do I. It was a great movie. I love all the shrek movies. I am super excited to know that Twilight - Eclipse will be in imax. It wont be 3d... but the huge 6 story screen with edward, bella, and jacob... whew! Cant ask for better. haha.

Thinking: A shower and a book sounds really good right now.

Goodnight.
