Started the pre op diet on 12/5. Lost 23lbs. Banded on 12/21. Just lost another 17.5lbs for a grand total of 40.5 lbs. I don't know why the 40lb hurdle was so important to me...most people shoot for 50, but when I stepped on the scale this morning and I finally made it I was extremely excited. :-). Yipppeeee!!!

You're doing great! Congratulations!!

Rock on!! Doing great!

So happy for you! Congratulations. Keep up the good work.

God Bless!

Awesome! I know it must be a great feeling--- can't wait to get there myself! Keep on keeping on!

Thank you all! 68 more pounds to go so not too bad. You know, when my tracker said that I had 108.5 lbs to lose I thought wow, that's a lot! Now it says 68...eh, that's not so bad is it? I'll get there all in good time. :-)

Woot!!! Well done!!!

Yay!!!!

Congrats!!! That's incredible!! You should be proud!

Doing good jewel!!!
