Hi everyone. I will be banded on Sep 25th. This is the last of three weeks of Optifast...I can barely choke any more down! Will be nice to eventually eat more normal food again (though much less of it)!

Mama Mac from Michigan

GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR OP ! CONGRATULATIONS XX

Thanks Sugarplum! I am excited! How does your weight loss transfer to pounds...I am not sure about stones! Mama Mac

Hi MamaMac! Welcome to the board. I am scheduled for surgery Oct. 18th. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!

Hi MamaMac and welcome to LBT! I so know what you are talking about with those dadburn shakes. I got to the point where I would rather starve than drink one more. I remember the first "mushy" food I had was scrambled eggs that my dh made me. You would have thought I was eating the finest steak in the finest restaurant by all the moans and sounds of delight I made while eating them!

By the way, just wondering where abouts in Michigan you are from. I was born in Grand Rapids, lived in Sparta and Wyoming (Michigan) and moved to Florida when I was 14. I still have tons of relatives up there though.

Welcome to LBT! Good Luck!

Harley Girl...You have done great! Could you tell me how I get to my replies when I first come onto the site? I can't figure it out...there is nothing in private messages, but I don't know what else to click on.

Thanks, Mama Mac
