The Cheat - I swore I would only weigh myself once/week so I wouldn't get obsessed with the numbers. But when getting dressed this morning, I had to tighten my belt an extra notch. Made me curious, So I gave in to the scale....down 11 pounds in 10 days on my preop diet! I'm still a week away from surgery and I was told to lose 12 pounds so I guess I'm good to go!

The Regret - I started my preop diet 2 days early "just in case"

I started mine a few days early as well and that should NOT be a regret. That in my mind is a victory! THAT means your ready and you get IT.

I started mine a day early because I was sick and tired of thinking about it and having food funerals. But, like indecision says above, it was a victory in my book - I lived thru the pre-op diet and got an extra day. I won!

You will win this, too - congrats on your loss so far, don't derail it because you're close to your pre-op goal. Stick with your plan and you'll do great!

Good luck!

Kindle , that is awesome. Keep up the good work. At least that weight will be gone and you won't have to address it after the surgery.

The fact that you started early means you're ready to own this. Now you have a greater opportunity to surpass expectations and exceed the goal set. Be proud of yourself!
