This is it. This is the last day! So close!! YAY!

In my mind the process is broken down into steps:

• Waiting period - done.
  
• Pre op diet - almost done!
  
• Surgery
  
• Healing
  
• Weightloss
  
  • 10% of weight lost (28.5 lbs)
    
  • 50 pounds lost
    
  • 75 pounds lost
    
  • Hit 200 (85 pounds lost)
    
  • 100 pounds lost
    
  • Nutritionist goal (120 pounds lost)
    
  • Surgeon goal (135 pounds lost)
    
  • Adjusted goal TBD

I have no idea how long this all will take, but I do better when I have smaller obtainable goals. Getting through surgery is a biggie for me and that itself will be be done (probably) by this time tomorrow. Whoa. Ahem...anyway...

The only thing on my mind is to get through the surgery safely then start on healing. I consider the healing process to be from tomorrow afternoon through my first fill which is scheduled for 2/19.

I will give you all an update as soon as I can!

Congrats! Good luck with surgery tomorrow!

you will do great! You have been very faithful and I love your planning! I am 7 lbs from my 1st 50...I was banded on 11/23. I laid out my plan very similar.

Good Luck tomorrow!

Good luck...you'll be so glad you did it!!!!!!40 down since pre-op Thanksgiving 2009

Thinking of you...keep us posted! -BG
