Nearly 6 weeks out, about 32lbs down from surgery day. For me, the scale moves for several days, then it levels out for a few days. I'm just sticking to my plan as best I can and not worrying about it too much. Kinda bummed about raging post-op acne, but I'm guessing that will smooth out after the major weight loss is over and my hormone levels stabilize. I am super happy to have some actual food in my belly again though--yay for poached chicken!

I love the way you spelled "crappie" --it looks so damn perky

I'm also scheduled for Oct 18, and getting seriously nervous. With all the preparation, I know my decision is a good one, but still... I think it's normal to be a bit scared/apprehensive/nervous ahead of surgery though. Pre-op is tomorrow.

Got my date--Oct. 18th. Exciting!

Expecting a surgery date in October. So far, I'm cutting down on diet soda and alcohol, and drinking less with meals. For me, emotional eating is an issue, so I'm working on that. Trying to recognize the head hunger, and find other ways to satisfy my needs. I'm also getting exercise back into my life, mostly walking and dance videos. 10-15 minutes at a crack so far. Things are starting to get real...
