Hi Tony,

I just started my pre-op diet today, surgery is on August 26th. You are almost there!! Congratulations.

THANK YOU for the Crystal Light Slurpee suggestion... I think I will take a walk up to 7-11 for one!! I forgot about that...

Thanks and good luck!!

I'm getting banded on August 18th. I didn't have any kind of pre-op diet. Just a liquid diet the day before the surgery.

Good for you!!! That is a great weight loss.

I am also getting banded on the 19th. I have decided on the Realize brand of band.

You will have to let me know how you are doing. Good luck and keep up the good work.

Deb.......

Good luck! You've already gotten a great start.

I'm on the 21st, can't wait!
