Hi, My name is Mike or Big Mike to most people. I have been getting ready for the lap band procedure for the past six months. My banding date is on Aug. 26th I am very nervous. I have been on a 1200 calorie diet for the past month and I have lost 31 pounds so far I like it, but the thing that keeps popping through my mind is, if I can lose 31 pounds dieting is this the right thing for me? I have struggled with my weight my whole life. I have done all the diets... weight watchers, slim fast counting calories. you name it I've probably done it. I joined this forum to make sure I am doing the right thing, and also to talk to other people in the same situation. So if you have any advice or would like to talk don't hesistate to drop me a line or say hi. More than happy to talk to anybody. Mainly I hope I meet a lot of people that are in the same situation or have already gone through it, to get great advice. looking forward to talking with everybody. Take care. Mike:cool2:
