Me too. Yesterday was my 1 week mark and I too am looking forward to those types of victories.

I LOVE that!!! Nothing lame about that at all. Thanks for sharing and congratulations!!!

I too am on an Atkins type of pre-op diet (40 carbs or less). I experimented last night with some mini pumpkin cheesecakes so that I could have something like that on Thanksgiving. I joked and said, well, I can have turkey, with a side of turkey and turkey for desert. I will be banded Dec. 8th and I am quite excited. My husband gets tickled at my enthusiasm. Oh, and he liked my mini cheesecakes. I will have to post the recipe in the low carb section.

I am excited too. People ask me if I am nervous, but not yet....I am sure I will be. I am just so ready to get this going. Just ordered my vitamins, so they will be coming in the next few days. Then my appt for blood work on Monday. I think that will make it all real for me. I don't think I have fully wrapped my brain around the fact that I am less then a month away.

Fantastic idea. I bet I could break a recipe down and make a small amount. Thank you!!!

I am on a 40 carb pre-op diet now and am seeking a low carb pumpkin cheese cake or pie. I hear so much about baking with splenda leaving an aftertaste, that I wanted to see what others find better. Thank you for all your help.
