I woke up this morning with an internal knowing that my decision to be banded is THE BEST DECISION I have ever made regarding my weight issues. I have this new found feeling of calmness (nervous calmness mind you!) I found all of you lovely ladies who were laying everything out there. Warts and all! I could relate and I honestly thought that reading your journeys would be enough. I didn't think I'd be able to share like the rest of you but now I am thinking that I can!
I have an amazing support system at home in my husband, children, parents and the friends that I have shared with and based on the comments I have received, I know that I have an endless support system with all of you. My hope is that I will be able to encourage and inspire others like all of you have encouraged and inspired me!
Now, its off to school with the hubs. Oh, thats right, I haven't mentioned that! I was enrolled in a post-licensing class for my Realtors license, something you have to do every two years and my DH decided that he should come with me. He is also a realtor. Waking him up each morning has brought all the horrible (sorry my daughters) memories back of waking up the girls for school! He is not a morning person. I will leave it at that.

I got my band on 2/12 in Tijuana and it was a fantastic experience! Where are you going? Check out my blog: http://amandakiska.blogspot.com/2010/02/hunger.html
A few posts down you'll see my description of the experience. Also I've only told a few people too so I can relate to what you are going through. Thank you for blogging!
Hi Jacquie!
I just found your blog through "Work In Progress". I am always interested in reading others blogs as we all have similar, yet different experiences.
Also, we are such a great community of support for each other. I will be Following your journey and I hope that I can be of help and support. Just ask any questions and we will always try to answer.

I agree - getting the band will be one of the most life-changing things you will ever do for yourself. I love my band with a vengeance - though sometimes it can be a stroppy little cow!! lol Sounds like a human me thinks!
Hey good luck with the post-licensing class.
Cara, you kill me with all your little sayings! You certainly can relate with all the schooling you've been through recently, huh? Today is the TEST! I just want to do as good or BETTER than the hubster! He did 1 point better than me on the last test and is still talking about it! HA! Wait until I have him sharing my food portions with me....hon, would you like half of my 2 oz. piece of whatever?" No, forget that, my luck is he will lose more than me and he is too skinny to begin with.
