I finally have a date

August 25 is the date. Had my EGD today (and I was worried about nothing that was the easiest thing I have ever done) and everything done. Now just pre dieting continues. Difficult to lose pounds and take antidiabetics and eat those carbs etc, but already seeing differences at the tape measure by increasing proteins and only eating complex carbs. Down 2 inches in waist with about 5 pounds gone. Good luck to the rest of the August buddies!!! Linda
