2 DAYS TO BANDING

Is anyone out there reading this? I've worked out how to add pictures and things to my blog. How good is that? I feel very clever. Haven't quite worked out this blogging business yet. But, I have been reading all the ones I can find on the net. (nothing like having a bad case of stage fright and obsessive tendencies)
The blogs I have found most useful and informative are those that talk about the issues with a sense of humour. Simple really, all I need is a sense of humour and I'm "in like Flynn".

NEW TOPIC - I am very sick of failing at being a "good" diabetic. (that's why I need this surgery)
Any other diabetics feel the same way. Over the past 10 years I have found it almost impossible to keep my doctors happy and approving of my progress. OUCH!!!! I'm a teacher for gods sake. I'm supposed to be able to handle just about anything and this makes me feel like such a failure. (on the positive side maybe it has made me a more sympathetic teacher?)

2 DAYS TO GO - Well I just walked out to the kitchen to check on dinner and what did I hear from the TV? "The French wage war on childhood obesity" you can't escape the fat police, LOL (see I'm learning blogspeak)
Strange but I don't feel very nervous. Perhaps it's because I have thought about this for so long, done my research and know that it's not about losing kilo's so much as keeping them off after.
Even the horrible optifast hasn't been so bad these past few days and for the most part I have been following three shakes a day. On the odd day, I have had real food BUT, I kept calories to the 800 suggested in the optifast booklet and matched the grams for protein, carbs and fat. It seems to be working because I've lost 4kg.
