YEE HAH!! I got the surgery date!! I was able to get the date I wanted (have to plan, plan, plan). My new birthday is January 24.

:whoo:I can hardly wait! This happens to be my daughters 17th birthday and she is not too happy that I won't be celebrating with her. You know...cake, dinner out and more cake. I told her no cake at the house but she can still go out to dinner with her friends and they can get cake at the resturant. But she is happy that I am getting it done.

I am starting the pre-op this week, just to see how it is. My pre-op diet is not too bad. High Protein (70-100 grams) and low carbs (30 gram). It is really interesting to see how many carbs are actually in ALL the foods we eat, the good stuff too!

Just had to share the great new!!!!!!!!!!:clap2:

congrats..........I hope to be banded in January as well.

Congratulations!!! I know what you mean, I've been on several low carb diets in my life and I was just amazed at how many I consumed on a daily basis. Good luck with your pre-op diet and with your surgery!

congrats on approval and surgery date.
