I am sitting at my desk eating my lunch. Everyday I have been evaluating how it will be different after I get my band. I don't think I am being overly positive, when I say, "I will be fine!" Yes, my food choices will change, but in my mind I have thought about various options. I purchased a bariatric cookbook and the recipes look great. When I was just dieting, I would say, "I think I can, I think I can." With the added tool of the gastric band, I am now saying, "I know I can, I know I can!"
The support from family and closest friends has been awesome! It will be interesting to have this surgery right before Thanksgiving and the holiday season. I am not the least bit disappointed that I won't be able to have my "usual" holiday foods. For me, the holidays are about family, and in that area, I am blessed.
44 days and counting!
