So I am scheduled for surgery on 4-16-2013 and started my preop diet a week sooner than required. Even though I was told that I can start my diet 4/1/2013 I decided that I already have accomplished a week on the diet that I might as well keep it up. Instead of having Easter dinner and candy I chose my protein shake and some air popped white corn plain instead. Feeling very proud today. Just wanted to share.

Good for you!

good for you.. now is the time to make those changes and you will be prepared for what lies ahead of you after surgery.. great things are in store for you.. best of luck to you on your new journey.. keep us posted.

So I started this at 409 lbs. I went for Pre-op testing today and am down to 381.0....WooHoo

Good for you! You're showing the kind of commitment that will make you successful through the remainder of the journey!
