Had my last pre-op appointment today & everything is all set for surgery on Monday afternoon. They did a body analysis that showed my weight to be 266.5 (my scale this morning said 266.4), which is down 7 lbs since starting my pre-op diet & 13 lbs from 4/29.

It showed my BMI to be 39.9 - I'm 5'8.5" tall - and my fat percent to be 49.8%!! Yikes!! It said I have 132.5 lbs of fat!

Needless to say, I am SO ready for Monday to get here to have my surgery and start my way toward a healthier life!! On a really happy note, I've been stuck between 274-280 lbs since January even with diet & exercise, so seeing the scale drop to 266.5 with the pre-op diet is amazing to me right now!!

My husband is going to take my pictures & measurements on Sunday to use as my starting point & then he wants to do pictures & measurements every Sunday to keep track of my progress! I think he's just as excited as I am about the surgery, not because he cares how much I weigh but because he knows I care!

Have a great weekend everyone! See y'all on the other side of surgery. If all goes well I'll be discharged on Tuesday evening.

Thanks everyone!! I appreciate it! The hospital just called to confirm time of surgery - I have to be there at 1:30 PM & surgery is at 3:30 PM. I should be out of recovery & in a room around 7 PM they think.

God speed. Sending hugs to you for a good sleeve surgery. You will do great. Attitude is 1/2 of it.

Congrats and good luck. Sending you speedy recovery wishes
