I will have my surgery tomorrow morning at 9:30. I am so excited and tottally nervous. I've lost about 12 pounds on the pre-surgery diet. I have not had one morsel or crumb of food that was not on my program. I loved the powdered eggs. Go figure. I will be at Lacks Surgical Center is Grand Rapids, MI. My surgeon is Dr. Kemmeter. 2011 is the beginning of my new life, and I am determined to be successful at this. Wow, I can't believe I am actually doing this.

Yeah! Will say a prayer for you and your surgeon. 2011 is gonna be great year!

Wow. I can hear the anticipation in your post. Bless you heart. You have 235 lbs to lose, so that means your life is going to change so drastically. This is the first thing in my life that has given me any control over food. Over time food just becomes less and less of an issue for me bc I have the restriction. The weight loss at this point is slow but effortless on my part. In the beginning there is a lot of effort but eventually it just becomes part of your new life.

you are going to do great. Just continue to follow all the rules as you have been doing. I had a bit of a panic right afterwards, but then it subsided. I drank a LOT of homemade chicken broth from organic chickens bc I couldn't handle the sweet of the endless Protein Shakes and that helped, while also providing meat for my family to eat. So if you have nothing to do today go cook you a chicken and save the broth in cups.
