:thumbup:Hi, everyone - I am a 53 year old wife, mother, grandmother from Savannah, MO. I had my surgery on October 1st. I have lost 5 pounds in one week - 20 total since my 2 week preop liquid diet started. I am nervous and a little apprehensive - I have lost weight before but have never been able to keep it off so this is my final ditch effort to get healthy and stay that way! Thanks for this site - I can already see that it is going to be a terrific source of support. Granny
