Dear Bandster Friends;

I got the call!! I have been approved and my surgery date is 10/30. Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Although the end of October seems so far away, I had prayed and asked God that if I could get banded HE should pick the best time. So what's my first thought? To call back and ask if they would fit me in if there is a cancellation!!! (I came to my senses quickly and didn't make the call.) I have learned so much from all of you and now it's time to put it into practice. The following are my goals for the next month:

1. No bingeing

2. Only ONE last supper at Red Lobster

3. Learn to chew slowly

4. Get used to drinking all that Water ahead of time

5. Start visualizing myself as svelte

6. Prepare meals for my DH for a few weeks while I'm

on liquids

Any suggestions from you experienced ones on what to add? Can't believe I'm really at this point.

:mad:

Lulu!! That's so cool!! I know it seems like a long time, but it will fly by. My surgery was scheduled almost 8 weeks out, and now that time is just an eye-blink.

Congratulations!

I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know you are just about ready to jump out of your skin! the time will fly by, it did for me.

I am so happy for you!! This is an exciting time for you and should be happy!! Make sure to keep us posted on how you're doing. Congratulations!!!!!!:banana :banana :banana YIPEE!!!
