I wanna thank you all for being here for me during this time in my life. I really dont know if i couldve gotten through these last 4 months without it, because this has been the hardest

thing ive ever had to accomplish. I had my pre-register appointment yesterday and saw my dr also. Ive been on my 14 day pre-op diet and ive lost another 22lbs. So on the morning of the 4th, i weigh again and get my final weight before surgery. I thought the 14 day with just Clear liquids would be harder than it was, but it wasnt. After the 3rd day, i was fine. I dont own a scale but i knew i had lost more than i thought because my knees didnt hurt while

running behind my granddaughter.

What i have learned over these past 6 months is that everything is really a mind thing. I really dont need to have the 2nd scoop of ice cream, but i want it, so ive learnt to live with just the 1 scoop and im satisfied.

I hope that my surgery goes as smoothly as these last 6 months. I was told yesterday that i have a hernia that he'll repair while im in surgery. And that he may remove my gallbladder. Can anyone that has had a hernia repaired and gallbladder removed tell me if that made the recovery harder or no. He said that i would have 6 places where he's going in, i usually see 4 on everyone else. Idk, im just ready to get it over and on to the next phase. Have a great day guys. Cant wait to join the losers bench

I am glad your surgery day is getting closer!

I did not have a hernia repair or gall bladder removal, so I can't help there. looking forward to seeing your progress!

Great luck to you! Sounds like you're already finding successes.
