What am I hoping for?

I'm hoping that once I have the band, I can excercise for an hour and not feel like a hungry munster eating all in sight:) I'm hoping that I'll be able to sit down for a meal and be done with it after 15minutes, rather than turning it into a one hour ordeal (salty, sweet, needs more salty, needs to be followed by sweet again). I'm hoping that food will lose its lustre for me and just be a survival mechanism :) I'm hoping that I can go to a buffet and just get a little of everything and "show" everyone how much self control I have (hehehe)...:) Bottom line: I'm hoping to lose these damn forty pounds and be done with it!!! And be victorious in my skinnyhood - than conquer the world! Too much? :)
