    Red face Yippee!

    Well, I stepped on the scale this morning and I am at a weight I haven't seen since I first joined TOPS back in 2004! Holy cow! This pre-op diet has been a real boost to my confidence. I am wearing two sizes smaller and I haven't even been sleeved yet.

    I am getting ready for Monday, doing my final shopping for supplies, packing my bag and re-reading my program manual and Surgical Weight Loss Cookbook for Dummies.

    I don't know if I'll get to post later today or tomorrow, so if no, I'll see you all on the sleeved side!

    After you come out of surgery remember of what everyone else has gone through and remind yourself you are not alone in this. We are all rooting for you here on the losers bench. Be patient with yourself as you go through this transition. Follow the rules but listen to your body. Only you know what's best. Good Job on your continued success!!
