Debbie: I know I'm thinking that these next four weeks are gonna take forever...but I bet time will fly... I've got something going on every weekend too.... I've got paperwork to look over and make sure I'm good to go...... I'm a big time "planner" so the house is gonna be in perfect order etc before I go in that morning! :) How are YOU doing?

Connect with your local support group, read everything you can get your hands on from people who have been successfully banded to learn their tips, stock up on your post-op foods and get your heavy housework done so that you won't have to worry about doing any lifting after your surgery, This is going to be an exciting time!

Molly: Great advise... I've been a reading fool.... NWWLS has a great Support Group system set up right there in the confrence room at the surgery center.... I was so happy to find that out. The 2nd Mon of each month at 7pm :) I'm SO lucky to have a lady that comes in and does the major house cleaning every 3 weeks so I don't really have to worry about that.... hubby washes and I fold... so that will give me something easy and slow to do :) I went for a semi leisurely walk (average heart rate 120, which is the bottom of MY range) on Alki tonight...which is the beach right in front of my house.... just to see how many calories I might burn in an hour.... about 420..... and 60% of that was FAT :) So, this is where I will be getting my exercise the first couple of weeks until I can get back to the gym....
