Down another pound :)

I am very pleased to have accumulated a couple followers on my blog! Thank you all who joined me! I am just blown away that I am getting banded Wednesday!!!!! Freaking out! Everyone keeps asking me if I am nervous and I don't really know what to say about it. I don't really feel nervous so much as I feel fearful. I have never been in a hospital before and or under anesthesia. But I am more fearful that something will go wrong with the band, like slippage or something. I have been reading people's stories on the internet and alot of them have had issues with slippage and erosion and had to be unfilled for a while and on liquids and then possibly even have the band removed. That scares me a bit, that and I know it seems shallow based on all that I am doing this for but I am really worried about SCARS!!!! I do heal well, fortunately, but I am sooooo very afraid that these scars will be very noticeable. I would love to be back in a bikini some day. I can't find much on the net as far as before and after pictures go for scars so it worries me. But I just push that thought behind me because the band will be worth it!
I have been doing farely well on my pre op diet. I basically follow it like 95% of the time. I have had a few small cheats like last night I ate a couple ounces of cheddar cheese (I am a cheese-aholic!) hehe But I limit myself. But I have yet to cheat with carbs, which from what I have read, that is a plus. I just get so bored with the same old chicken and broccoli so last night I went the grocery store and got some mixed veggies to steam and some sugar-free popcicles and Jello to snack on (it's allowed). I bought a rotisserie style chicken breast for dinner last night and since the hubby is on nights I only cook for myself right now. I think I ate too much chicken!!! I am only allowed 4oz but I ate for like 7oz!!!! I was sooooo hungry.

I stepped on the scale this morning and I am down 1 more pound! 3 more to go to make my ten for pre op! yay. Thought I would put up some pics too! I want to have plenty BEFORE pics of me to compare to! So here's a few.
