Hi Cathy, great news for you! And us! :cursing: Now we get to hear your story first and it can prepare us...soooooo we simply won't let you go anywhere else!!!! I am doing well on my pre surgery diet...lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks but it is VERY hard at times and I have to say: "thank you" to this forum and my September buddies. Many, many times when I wanted to reach for a handful of carbs I started to go to the computer and read the entries and was able to "let go".... support is soooooooooooooooooooooo important! Thank you to everyone who posts! Have a great day! :frown:

Good Question, I was curious myself! Will be banded on 9-9-.... thanks for all the sharing!

What a wonderful gift for us! Thank you LovelyMiss!!! I will try to get mine NOW!

Sorry Daninde to hear about your insurance; I totally agree with you on the BMI thing... I am also glad you have means to pay it yourself. Let's loooooooooooooooose those pounds....

Great info about your meeting and what the next few weeks will be all about; it was wonderful to obtain this info again since my information session has been a while back. You refrehed my memory and gave a super clear picture... Keep us posted! I am just 2 days "behind" you; we have to do an Atkins like diet 2 weeks prior ( I already started "some")... and many patients can go home the same day, but many similarities. Again, thanks for sharing!

Good Luck and keep us posted!!!

Getting more excited since I have less then a month to go... started to replace my breakfast with a protein shake and actually like the shake... And stateofzen, you nailed the goals! So true!!!! While at the store today I thought how wonderful it will feel to be able to buy clothing at ANYYYYYYYYYY store... and to be able to play with my little grandson with ease ... so much to look forward toooooooooo...!!! This is a great forum to stay " out of trouble"...instead I come on here and read and write... glad we got each other!

Freshstart, sorry to hear about your problems with the insurance company; glad you are able to still go ahead! What flavor of protein shake did you find tasteful? I am planning on ordering me some but would like ideas before I buy one of the big containers.... thanks!

Thanks Danide! Yes no more food highs..... looking forward to THE change! Just hope all goes well ...
