Best Wishes to our 1st Band Buddies

A super congrats to Lellow who is is Australia and will actually be banded before all of us in the States have even gotten home from work on the 31st! Lead the way Rubber Duckie!

On lellow's heels we have edel and keisha 85, followed by Moe128 and Claudine1975. Next up we have southerngirl24, Andrea20405, and Cathrine Ray. We don't know where fee and Tracyde730 are, but our wishes will be with them all day too.

We look forward to seeing you again on the other side. Come back soon :biggrin:

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone. My dr. has moved up the surgery to 8:15 and I am very calm right now. I will post as soon as I can.

Lana - we can meet up next week - I will be home all next week.

OMG, so I have to tell you a funny story! After creating the roster for this board I noticed that Claudine was in the same town, Raleigh, NC. Turns out, she lives less than 2 miles away. We haven't met yet...but sure will soon. Anyhow, I have ordered just gobs of Protein samples. I had some duplicates and some that I am not willing to try at all (I have a thing about orange-flavored stuff.) I bagged up a few of these and put it on the porch for Claudine to swing by to pick up sometime. Some of these were sealed in little heat seal baggie-type things.

Here's the fun part!

So, this morning I actually opened my front door. We go in and out a side door usually. Strewn ALL over the porch is Protein powder! There was chocolate, banana, vanilla. Probably about 4 different kinds from the mix of colors that were there. Seems the squirrels decided to give the stuff a try :biggrin:

I don't think they liked it because they only bit the corners off of the packages instead of tearing them to shreds to get every last morsel. Oh well...I guess they figured that since they didn't have any Crystal Light the stuff just wasn't worth it. :biggrin: Let's see if they can get the pull tape off of the Low Carb Slim Fast!!!

OMG. Reading these posts it just clicked to me that it is finally August. Then my heart jumped. That makes this surgery even more real to me. Before it was 6 weeks away, now its 3!!! My liquid diet starts in 2 weeks.
