I had all my pre-surgery testing done yesterday. In just over a week, I somehow lost 18 pounds. Crazy, but lets face it eating 500 calories a day of Soup and shakes is quite different from what my body was normally used to.

The first 4-5 days was pretty bad. Honestly, I was dreaming of Wendy's, McDonalds, Burger King, Nathans, etc...

Day 9, feeling pretty good. Tomorrow I have my final sign off with my main doctor and surgery next Wednesday.

Congrats!! So close....look forward to getting to know you through this journey! (I am on day 6 post op band)

Get used to being surprised on losses (none quite like that, though). And keep up the good work!!

Way to go! And congratulations on your upcoming surgery. I'm three months out and SO happy.
