8 days to go and the days seem like weeks...I have been using the " last time to party" theory as I am eating anything that is not bolted down over the last couple of weeks. Need to pull back and clean up my act a little bit...I am so uncomfortable in my clothes, getting dressed and so many of the little things that I used to take for granted...I hope to G-d that this works!! Probably had my last beer fling last night at the bar as many people tell me"no more beer after banding". I am not a big drinker so I don't think I will freak if I don't have beer...sure I will miss it on a hot sunny day but I guess I could probably switch to maybe a flavored vodka if I want a drink... getting used to my C pap machine which helps me with apnea. I am hoping to rid my self of this contraption within a few months as I shed the weight!! Holla Holla!!

I'm hoping that the week flies by as I go for my hospital clearance on Thursday and Physicians clearing on Friday..Going all liquid on Sunday to get ready for Monday's banding...

Good Luck and special prayers for those that are banding in the next couple of weeks...

Peace...
