      I saw my dietician and weight loss center nurse today. One week until surgery and I'm starting to get nervous. I'm super excited though. I've lost 30 pounds since May and can't wait to lose more!!!! G

    Good luck to all the August Bandsters this time next month we'll all be on the other side! Wishing everyone a speedy recovery!

    Day 2 of my liquid diet and I just returned from a 7 day cruise on Sunday! Yesterday was not too bad and I was pleased to have lost 1 lb since yesterday probably all water since we went overboard with the cruise eating last week. Surgery is next Thursday, super excited!!

    Good luck and Best Wishes to all Banders coming up. It's been since Aug 6 I got banded. No issues, No problems with surgery and a mild post-op, and I still love the Costco Premier Protein Chocolate shakes, especially if you freeze them for 40-50 minutes prior to drinking. Its make a great smoothie and the texture changes to an ice cream condition.

    Be Positive and May the good Lord Bless all of YOU!
