hi... August 6 for me... planned to go to parties for 08-08-08 but who cares!! summer holidays interferred so it is Aug 8 self pay.... here in Canada... do not really know how to add to thread... I just click and reply.. got some support here in Chiliwack B.C. am 60 years old and very excited....

My date is Aug 7th too. At McGee in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Hey Ladies,

I happened to see your posts and I just wanted to wish you good luck.

I cannot believe that August 7 is coming up so quickly!!! I was banded on August 7 of last year -- on the day of surgery I had a BMI of 45.3 and here I am just 11 months later, at goal and with a normal BMI.

In order to lose the weight you'll need to work hard and watch what you eat pretty carefully, but the Band is an AMAZING tool that will make this all possible and very manageable.

This is a very exciting journey, and I wish you all the best!!!!

:smile:

Congratulations! I am still hoping to get a date early in the month, but I'll be an August if I have to kick and scream on the lobby floor of the Drs. office. Will you guys bail me out if they cart me away?

Wow Frangipani, you now weight 119 lbs. that is amazing. I used to weight that. Hope someday by next August to be close to that weight. I have a goal weight here of 130 which would be great for my age of 62.

I am doing the Protein Drink two times a day and one small meal. I had a nice salad with some chicken and no calorie dressing. One piece of no fat/no cholesterol pita bread made with whole wheat and flax seed. (small pita bread) I am so full now. I send for the shakes that I saw advertised here the unjury ones. Some folks say they are good. Sent for 2 chocolate, 1 strawberry, 1 vanilla and 1 Chicken flavor.

I have stocked up on low sodium broths in cans and some tuna in Water in 3 oz. cans and sugar free pudding. Have to get the Jello, which I despise but will most probably taste good LOL when I am out of surgery.

I hope to lose more than my 12 lbs pre-op so that my liver isn't too fat LOL.

Thanks for the encouragement.
