Ok, it’s 12:32 am and I haven’t been able to fall asleep yet. I have to be up at 5:30. I’m not really nervous or at least I don’t feel nervous. I just want to get it over and get the first 6 weeks over and then I’ll be fine. I hate waiting for surgery, don’t you? Just get it going. That long wait in the morning won’t make me happy but I won’t tell you about that til I get home.

I read over all the food guidelines from the dietician I saw a couple of weeks ago. Then I went to the store and got apple juice, cranberry juice, tea, broth and nothing else. When I get home the cupboard won’t be bare of things I can consume. Oh.. and at the rate of 2 tablespoons at a time to ensure that I don’t throw up.

Throwing up before the band is fully seated is not a good thing, I’ve been told. I haven’t eaten since 6:30 and I stopped drinking at 11 so I should be fine in the nausea department.

I just re-read this and I’m thinking — why would anyone go through this if they weren’t sick?

Well, I am sick. Sick with Type II diabetes and high blood pressure. And I’m sick of being fat, if you really want to know the truth.

**Before photos will be taken in the morning but they won’t get posted til I get back I don’t think.
