I am so excited. I called the Centre today and I will be banded next Thursday the 23rd at 11 am. WOOHOO!!!!! I have to start the pre-op diet tomorrow morning and continue until the op. I was surprised at how much was on the diet. I am allowed tuna packed in water, skinless/boneless chicken breast, sole, veggies, yogurt, cottage cheese, omelettes. I can use shakes for a snack if I wish. I cannot believe that by next week this time I will have already been banded.

Congrats. I go to my pcp for more discussion on Tuesday. But, wow you have done remarkable and will be healthy and trim and a new you before you know it.

Best of luck,

Thanks. I think the reason why I have done so well thus far is because I know at the end there will be no more yo-yo'ing. That means more than words can say.
