I'm On The 6 Month Diet
I have to do 6 month too, today was my 4th month!! i see the light!! I'm super excited. Other than having to an additional consult for sleep apnea I am good to go. My sleep apnea is not bad at all but my surgeon just wants to make sure I won't have any problems. I'm okay with that. =) At first I thought to myself -"how am I ever going to make 6 months", The last 4 months went by super fast! You can do it. In one month I lost 5 pounds - food journaling helped so much! My Fitness Pal is what I use and I love it!

Surgery In 5 Days And Haven't Told Anyone.....
I'm the kind that feels friends/family (Certain ones) are on a need to know basis- and that is the don't need to know. Other than my husband and 2 friends no one will know. I'm not sure how it's going to be either because my husband works for the hospital where I will be having it.
