Hey - glad I found this site - I am scheduled for my surgery on Monday 10/15 - scared to death. I have been fighting "something" all week - low grade temp and aches but doc thinks it's viral and said no reason to reschedule so surgery is still a go. I think my anxiety may be getting the best of me. I am a mom of 4. I have not been fat my whole life but definately since 2000 (birth of my 3rd) after that I was able to get down to a 16 but I am definately an uncomfortable 24 now! I have been on medifast since Monday and I think I lost about 5 or 6 pounds this week. I couldn't keep it up forever. Well, that's my story - my surgery is with Dr Geiss, if anyone knows him.....thanks for listening. Amy

Wow I just noticed that you JUST had your surgery...you already lost over 30lbs!!!! That's amazing. Wow! I hope I can do as good a job. I am such a slow loser - I usually quit diets at about the third or fourth week when I start losing .25 of a pound - at least this is something I can't quit! How long until you were up and around like your old self? I anticipate returning to work the following Saturday - will I be able to? Amy

I can't wait - I am so excited - I keep trying to visualize myself thin again....I can't wait! I really hope it works - part of me has this feeling like I will fail at this because I have failed at so many different weight loss attempts - I didn't tell too many people. I work with 200 women and I only told 3 of them. In my family, it's just my oldest daughter, my mom and my sisters that know. I am so happy that I am working until Sunday afternoon - I hope the time flies - I just got my time...1:00!!!! UGH! I don't have to be at the hospital until 11:30...I will go stir crazy..... ok - bye bye - say an extra prayer for me - thanks Amy
