Ok.. so.. I'm on my liquid diet now.. not to bad so far... I started on this journey at 249lbs.. i'm down 16lbs to 233 today... thats great for me.. i'm getting more and more excited i only have 11 days till my surgery... I am proud of my will power so far.. and I just know i can do this.. i'm very thankful for all of you who have given me support and advice... Ive got my grocery list ready.. my list of things to purchase before surgery like my vitamins and gas x strips lol.. and i've got my "what i need to take to the hospital list" ready too.. I'm ready for this.. this is going to be a new chapter of my life.. Im hoping its a much better one.. a healthier one.. and i'm so thankful for the opportunity to "start again"... its going to be a learning process.. guess its a good thing that I like to learn new things..

My surgery is on the 14th and I am ready too! I think a positive outlook on this is what we all need. I like that you said you feel like you get to start again, that explains it perfectly. Good luck to you!

Great attitude ladies! I'm still jumping through insurance hoops hoping for a Nov/Dec date. Show me how it's done!

You guys are going to do great!!! :-)
