Ten more days until my surgery in TJ! Woooooohoooo! I'm feeling a little overwhelmed and a lot excited! I have never been thin, and I am soooo tired of being considered thick ( P.C. for fat)! 2011, and so on, will be my time to shine. It's time to go from fat to fabulous. Let Operation Fine by Summertime commence! Special thanks to everyone who has ever posted on this site! You have been my comrades in this war to lose weight! I could not do it without every single one of you!

I so remember those last few days before surgery. I went through every emotion possible, but KNEW I was doing the right thing for me. At that time, I hoped to be a size 10 when I got to goal. I never thought size 4 would be my reality!!!!

Best of luck ... keep us posted on your progress.

Wow! Congrats on the excellent weight loss! I can't ever remember being a size 4! Perhaps when I was a toddler! At this point in my life, any weight loss, is good weight loss! I just can't weight to get back to being myself. It'll be nice to not be the fattest face in pictures. It was either surgery, or finding friends with bigger heads than my own. The latter is probably impossible! So, VSG surgery it is! My days of yo-yo dieting are hopefully coming to an end!

I really like the sound of Operation Fine by Summertime! Last summer I felt like I was dying any time it was over 80 degrees. I was so self-concious I wouldn't wear shorts or capris or tank tops. This year will be so much better! I'm looking forward to losing enough weight that I can wear my cute strappy sandals again!
