In a couple of weeks! Leaving tomorrow on a mission trip. Will be back on the 17th. Then start my pre-op diet on the following Tuesday! I am almost looking forward to it!!:biggrin:

Thank you!! I wouldn't begin to know how to do that! thank you!!

You look great! It's made a big difference! Congrats!

It's my five kiddos! They are climbers, jumpers, etc....they so remind me of the 5 monkeys jumping on the bed!!:thumbup:

I just think that everyone should have a chance for some imput. Especially since we are starting to get more people to join the board. If it was sept. I'd say, of course I'll go with what the group has already choses. but since it is july, I think anyone who wants to suggest a name should. Can we set a date for suggestions and then set up a pole? It can end say, Aug. 1, and whatever has the most votes wins? What does everyone think??

Hi Moon! Hope it comes through quickly for you!!

Hi Amber! I am in the Southwestern part of Ohio. I hope it all goes quickly for you! Welcome to LBT

That is sooooo awesome! Good for you and Happy Birthday!!

How about August Hotties?? You know, because August is hot, and we all will be soon!:thumbup:

PJ That's great! I am the day after you on the 5th

I can see you sitting in a booth licking your garlic toast! Thanks for the giggle!!

That is wonderful!!!!:thumbup:

Eating everything in sight?? I am so determined to FOLLOW THE BOOK that I am eating all of the stuff I won't eat again for a loooooong time! Ice cream, candy, I'm on my way to make no bake cookies....all the favorites!! Did I mention french fries, breads, etc......:ohmy:

How awesome! Aren't you too excited? I know I am!!

I would have been unhappy, too. My dr. does surgerys 3 days a week and does consults the other to. I didn't wait at all. Hope you find someone soon.

my dr. office says liquids and below 800 calories. So it doesn't just have to be shakes (at least in my dr.office)

Congratulations on your banding!! I am in Cincinnati, also. Who did your band? I am scheduled for my band on Aug. 5. I am glad you are up and about!!

My band date is the 5th too!! I start the pre-op diet on the 22nd. Maybe we can grump through that together!!!! I am so excited!!

I am already seeing a counselor to deal with WHY I eat. Not just what I eat or how much. I know that my stress eating and habit eating is not going to go away b/c of the band. It is going to need to be a total lifestyle change. Not just a food issue....

What are you eating on your liquid diet?? I just can't imagine only slim fast for 14 days.....

I am using Dr. Mobely

My nurse has been banded and had a baby after banding!!

My surgery is Aug. 5! I am so excited! Anyone else scheduled around that time????

I am in the same spot and my consultation in on Monday. My BMI is about 36-37 but I do have comorbidities including high high cholesterol and depression. I am self pay so I am hoping that goes in my favor too!

Welcome! I am right with you in the amount of weight I need to lose. I hope to have my surgery in early Aug. I am sure it will go will for you on Monday! tonni:thumbup:
