FIFTY pounds gone forever! I can't believe it! Three short months ago I was getting ready to start my pre-op diet! It was 3 months ago that I was wondering if I would let myself down like I had every other time I tried to lose weight. It was 3 months ago I wondered if the band would work for me the way it worked for so many. Three months ago I was wondering what if I spend all this money…$265/mo for 5 years, to weigh the same as I did on my surgery day. I am over a third of the way to my goal. I can’t wait to see how I get there and when. It is like a trip to Disney World. It’s coming…I know its going to be great and so much fun once I get there. The anticipation is just about killing me!

Whoot! 50 lbs.! That's awesome!!!!!

You go girl!!! I was just reading some depressing blogs. Yours is AWESOME! It is going to be my testimony, too. I've lost 16 pounds so far preop and have surgery on Jan. 9th.

Thanks! Great job on the pre-op diet. I lost 14 pre-op. Tondavi - check out the rest of my blog if you want to. I started it about the same place you are now.

Hey Groupie....thanks! I got compliments in every department today at the hosptial. I usually make rounds every morning and I couldn't believe the reaction. I am running out of clothes to wear though!
