Pre-op, how much did you lose?

How much below your highest weight do you want to be before surgery and why?

I have lost 30 lbs from my highest weight, and I want to lose another 15 more before surgery. Besides health reasons, I'm not really sure why. I guess I think I'll be more successful if I start at the lowest weight possible on the morning of surgery. I have a LOT of weight to lose, even more so since I am a shorty. I'm on a liquid diet (FOREVER, it seems like) and I'm a revision patient, so I really want to lose more weight before my surgery date on March 10. It is taking forever to get here and I'm tired of liquids already and it's only been two weeks!
