Congrats on your surgery tomorrow! Im not banded yet, but it seems normal to feel nervous and excited all at once.. You will do fine!!! and Let us how things go. Take Care and Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOHOO!!!! JAMIE!!! Banded with big words all at once!!! Love ya girl!!!!!!!!!!! ((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))

Oh yeah i have tried the canned chicken then same way I have eaten the tuna.. I hope it will be ok to eat too.. Maybe the make the Air tight package chicken like they did with the tuna. "Chicken of the sea? is that Chicken or Fish?"~Jessica S. LOL

doesnt Tuna come in those air tight packages now, you dont have to buy it in a can anymore... Anyway I HATE tuna... I was on a pure tuna diet for 3months.. then I went on the 6 week body make over diet and ate tuna all the time.. ugh im so sick of it. Which is sad because I use to love tuna, tuna salad.. anything.... now the smell or just seeing the package makes me sick...

HAHAHA Thats cute Penni... Jenna will like that one! Where do you get all your funny things... sign me up for your funny mailing list LOL

It seems as though my family was opposite. They were much more scared of losing me being over weight then losing me over surgery. And I dont even really have many pre-op medical problems. I agree with the others, and yeah maybe your family should read whats here and see the good the bad... its all mostly good.. If this is something you REALLY want they will have to understand.. and support you! Good Luck with everything and keep us posted
