Sorry to hear of your loss...stay strong and know a smaller you is a healthier you!

Thanks for the recipe....that sounds so good!

Congratulations!

Well said Carolina girl! Great blog yellow rose....!

I find when the scale is stubborn...the inches reduce. So look at your clothes are they getting looser? Don't let the scale be such a focus...this is something I had to learn I am a slow looser and it is frustrating but I am hanging in there seeking all my successes which are non-scale related as well. I am feeling great also........how about you? So keep up the great work don't give up!

You are a master cake slayer!

Congratulations keep up the great work!

Congratulations on your news! Well done......you deserve to celebrate!

My Dr. Was all for it to improve my health issues!

Relax and enjoy your time with your husband. Freeze some food or shakes and take them with you to avoid making bad choices. Good luck and enjoy!

Hi Ali

I think the key to success is having your mind set on being successful at all costs. For me it is my health..I have to become healthy to maintain my health

Which has made making good choices a breeze for me. I am so determined and you can be too! Stick to your plan...you will be great!

Thank for your input....I do try hard to get it in but it is very challenging. Someone told me it is flushing my fat? It that even possible?

Follow the instructions...stay committed and you will be successful!

I am so very grateful I did this...failure is not an option for me...I have experienced enough diet failures...this will be my greatest success story second to my amazing family!

Best of luck to you!

Great tips, as usual everyone is so helpful. So glad I am able to seek such amazing assistance!

I began making small changes at first. I stopped late night snacking and I began to exercise. I made sure I was eating nuts protein vegetables and made one meal a protein shake. Do follow all instructions from your Dr. Prior to surgery. It is for a short period of time change your habits read instead of watching TV lift weights when you get bored instead of going for food. You can do it!

Make several shakes freeze them and take them in a thermal lunch box!

Enjoy your family and avoid the food tables.

Best of luck!

Jim, I know a lot is going on right now with your Dad's health, I am sure he wants you to be strong and successful as well. Don't give up stay strong for the both of you! Be safe!

You have unleashed the key to your success.....determination!

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the information, it is good to know what to expect on Friday...... hang in there!

Hi Ashley....I will be right behind you with my surgery scheduled on the 20th. I have not shared my journey with many people just my core peeps and I have sworn them to maintaining my secret. My fear is yet another failure in my weight loss..although I am determined to make this successful, with so many failures in my past I am very conflicted and scared of failure I wish you the best of luck and I too have have similar numbers.

After reading all of the issues with the pre-op diet I am hoping I will be able to function properly during my work days. I am starting my diet on the 22nd with surgery on the 29th. I believe I am more stressed about my emotional being that week than I am about the pending surgery! I am brand new to this blog, however I believe there is great support here!
