    My doctor did not require a goal weight. But, he is making me do a liquid diet for 7 days before surgery. Bet of luck to you.

    Right! Thank you all so much! I've already had my blood drawn, X-rays, and EKG! All good there! Now I meet with my surgeon on Thursday. I think I'll be fine. I am making every effort to follow the PRE surgery liquid diet. "IT'S KILLING ME!!!" Lol. I'll handle it though! I have an amazing support system here at home and friends that won't let me quit!! (Thank The Lord!)

    I'll keep you all updated on Thursday!! I'm so ready for this!!
