Hi I have my surgey date and I'm so excited!!!! :thumbup: I have been diabetic for 10 years with each new year meds increased and so has my weight. I hope to lose 60 pds. and get off medication. I am so glad I found this site I feel we have problems others do not. I started my pre op diet today,

2 slim fast shakes & a lean cusine for dinner. Today was pretty hard I tried to keep busy to keep my mind off of food. It worked until 4:00, I had to eat so I had a sliced tomato & a handful of fiber one cereal. My Dr. ordered me to start my pre op diet thisThursday. I started early. So I guess my small cheat is ok. Better luck tomorrow. Back to work and I have a support meeting tomorrow night. Anyone out there from Roanoke Va??

I finally have my band date, Oct 13 and I can hardly wait. I have also been a diabetic for 10 yrs, while I was working I was in more control of my weight and my diabetes. When I stopped working in 2004, I was so depressed I was eating all wrong and my weight and diabetes went out of control. This has led me to banding.

Good luck with your lap band.

I hope all went well with surgery today. I am still having some sugar issues but seeing some resuts. I am down about 12 lbs. since Sept 18th. Down at least 1 pants size, slow but steady. Good luck in your journey and recovery.

Lea:

congratulations on your weight loss. Keep up the good work. As for me they had to postpone my surgery date because of bronchitis. My blood sugar has been very good while I have been on the pre-op diet and hope it will continue.
