    I made it through surgery well yesterday. I'm back at the hotel relaxing today. So far I don't really think I've had much of the gas pain just a little pain in my tummy area but not bad.

    Since I had my surgery in Mexico, I just met with my nutritionist for the first time yesterday. I'm 5'8 and was at 442 pre pre-op diet, 222 on surgery date and her goal for me is 153! I don't think I've weighed that since junior high! I can't imagine what I will look like at that weight but I'm excited to find out!!

    I hope everyone else is doing well!! I truly felt at ease through this surgery process thanks to everyone on here for sharing their experiences!

    I had my pre op yesterday. Passed all tests and all cleared for Monday's surgery. I am down 16 pounds so far in a week and a half. It is getting closer for sure! I am past the nerves and second guessing...it is time to make a change and take control!

    And 1gorgeousgodzilla, it could be worse...we could be Bama or Florida fans...lol GEAUX TIGERS!!
