I am truly excited about starting today. I already have been stocking my pantry shelf with my "supplies". I generally don't eat first thing in the morning but my mind is playing tricks on me and of course I woke up feeling like I could really put a buffet out if business right now,lol. Time to go and drink my breakfast. Can't wait till April 25th:)

21 days? Yikes!!

I'm at the halfway point of my 3 week preop. Unfortunately I can't weigh myself because my scale won't work because I weigh to much right now. I can tell in my clothes that I am definitely loosing something. I have 10 more days until my surgery and I am anxious for that day to arrive. I am extremely moody at this point. I can't wait until I start counseling on May 5 th.

Well Mrs. Ski I wish you the best...talk with you on the otherside of bandland!!!

Thanks Mikee57:)

Hang in there…each day that passes is one day closer to your surgery day. You are doing great…moody or not…lol.

I had a 14 day all liquid pre-op AND a 16 day all liquid post-op…so I understand but I felt so good when I made it through.

And thats great that you can't use the number on the scale to see your loss so far because it is already showing you that there are so many other ways to see if your are losing weight (clothes fitting, energy levels etc). I tend to be a slave to the scale and am learning to let other avenues guide me on my weight loss journey as well….

Wishing you much success! Keep us posted!

Thank you so much for the encouraging words. Today I got very excited I actually had egg flower soup while on a business lunch. But now I'm feeling very guilty because I did not strain it.

guilt promotes further mistakes,so just forgive urself and move on

I quickly did forgive myself. I have lost 26 pounds so far on my preop so I am not guilty at all. I am only feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. Tomorrow is the start of my new future and I can't wait

Gof bless u adn i pray u will have a safe adn successful surgery!

Thank you Martha
