I have mine scheduled for 9/24 - a long time coming, but I am so anxious! I hope I'm not putting all my health eggs into one basket, but I'm trusting this new lifestyle will get me healthy with a few more years to enjoy life!

Congratulations! I'm 56 & being banded Oct 15. Your name has been my motto through this process like Time for me.

I guess now it's time for us, yeah!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! this will be the beginning of a whole new life for you. it's a lot of work but, well worth it. I am close to your age and it has changed everything for me. I haven't been this active for so many years, I cannot even remember!

keep us informed on your progress and be patient with yourself. do not compare your weight loss with others, we all lose differently.

Started pre op diet today. It is going to be hard to stick to this for 2 weeks! I am not really craving food though. I just cant stomach the smell of the shakes.

I put some peppermint extract in my last shake today (chocolate flavored) and it seemed to help a bit. Tasted ok, just had to hold my breath to drink...lol

You can do it! Best wishes for a great operation an speedy recovery.
