Well it's not easy but it is alot easier than last week. Now, I don't think twice about the shake. And the SF jello has became quite tasty. Most of the food that my family eats doesn't tempt me. I've got my eye on the prize. A thinner me. I did alot of rigorous excercise today. It including walking my neighborhood and working out in the wii fit. According to the Wii Fit, I've lost another 9lbs since Thursday. But I want to see the doctor's office scale before I count my victory. I can't wait. Four days left before I'm banded.

Congrats!!

You managed to change your mindset and it will be smooth sailing from here.

Cool beans for you. I will start my pre-op diet this week. This website has been very helpful for me.

Thanks! I am glad I found this site also because it really encourages me daily to stay focus. And like btrieger said, once I changed my mindset, it was smooth sailing.

Im just starting out. Trying to figure out, how to just stop munching on everything in sight. I want to be that person who changes my thought patterns before I have the surgery. Do you have any advise?
