I feel like the July Bandsters are such comrades! Lol!!
How are you all doing with weight lost so far?
I was banded 7/13/11 and so far I'm down 16 lbs! Amazing! I can start on mushies 7/27/11
SN: I had no pre-op requirements so I ate what I wanted up until the day before surgery so all of my weight loss has been POST-op

You guys (and gals) WE CAN DO THIS!!!! My surgery is 3 days away and for some reason I decided to get on Youtube tonight to look at before and after pictures. There were people that were 6-10 months post op that have lost 100 lbs!!! Say Whhhattt??!!! (think Minion voice..lol) I don't know about you all, but if you are nervous, afraid, skeptical, about to have a panic attack..hell whatever....STOP IT! Think about what you had to do to get to this point. If you have a surgery date, HORRAY! If not...keep kicking it sister or brother, YOU....WILL...GET...THERE!
With that being said, In preparation for my surgery, I'm writing my body a farewell letter. Farewell to the things I despise, and Hello to the NEW and IMPROVED, heathier, more vivacious, "Divafied", Cant-tell-me-nothing-because-I-have-it-going on, downright SEXY CurlyDiva!

Don't you worry, you'll be back soon and in full force sooooooooooo HUBBY GET READY!

Your turn! Who's your letter to?

So as my surgery approaches, I find myself more intrigued by the actual procedure! So of course I went to YouTube am found a video! After seeing how the procedure is actually done, it helps ease the fear. Hope it helps someone else.
