Today I stepped on the scale and it read 285.8. Never again will it be that high. Today I start my pre preop diet. 40-45 grams of carbs. No refined sugars, no pop. Then in a few weeks I will begin the liquid diet for 2 weeks before surgery. I'm really hoping that I can go into surgery weighing 265 or less. Regardless of the number, today is the day I begin to take charge. From now on my pants will never be tighter than the last time I put them on. Today I begin winning the battle! Who's with me?

With you all the way!! I love your attitude!

Absolutely! Totally agree!

You go girl! Having a positive attitude as you begin the journey is absolutely essential to success!

Great attitude to have as you start your journey. Good luck!

Keep it up as you detox... the first few days are the hardest. Have a plan, stick with the plan, record all food and liquid, and drink Water.

It will get better...

Wonderful! I plan on going to Mexico this year, or beginning of next. Have to renew my passport. I love all the positivity (is that a word) on this board!

You go girl!!!!

Perfect mindset going into your pre-op. I was where you are a little over a year ago. Best decision I ever made for myself.

Best of luck!!

Best of luck.
