Aimstergal - I didn't exercise last week so this week I've started Pilates with the Malibu Pro Pilates chair that Susan Lucci hawks on HSN. I'm gonna see if I can meet your 9.8 lbs & raise you another several .8s!!!

That's amazing! I havn't stepped on a scale since my pre-op test on 9/25. Can't wait to hop on that same scale Thursday and see exactly what I've accomplished.

Good luck! I'm right behind you!! 11 days here:)

Mine is on Tuesday and have a hellish day at the office tomorrow, which I originally scheduled off. Maybe it is good to be distracted because I am starting to get a little freaked out!!

This a been a wonderful ride thus far...it has been amazing to read ask the post from preop to postop. I have been approved and knowing my surgery date since July 30, and I never thought Oct would come fast enough...

I have 3 more days and a wake up before I lose 75% of my tummy (good bye and good riddens)..Good luck to all of my sista's before and after me! My prayers are with us all in the past, present and future...

My surgery is tomorrow. I leave for the hospital at 6:30am. I have all kinds of different thoughts and emotions swirling through my head right now. Mostly I am excited and looking forward to change... Even if it means losing 75-80% of my stomach in order to make it happen. I am really fighting the urge to have one last food funeral before my 8 hour pre surgical fast begins. I am not going to give in because it just wouldn't be pretty...I know I have an emotional connection to food. Food is where I go when I am sad, bored, or feel I deserve a reward. Anyways, I am really ready for this and am actually looking forward to the hard work that will follow my surgery tomorrow. I am going to have to find some sort of healthy habit, a positive addiction, to replace food.

Good luck to the other Monday sleevers out there...I'll make sure to check in on the flip side!
