Got a date . . . but got to lose 26 lbs!

I'm lurking also -- I just like to read about what's going on with everyone.  I'm praying for your success.  It's not easy, but it can be done.  Just follow the good advice that you have already been given and drink plenty of water. Congratulations on your upcoming band surgery. Karen

I got my fingers crossed for you. I will probably have to do that as well and will need the inspiration. Good luck with this. Jo
