[frananp03 110]

I did it!!!! I hit twoville!!! Wooohooo!! So excited that this stall is over!! ~~~happy dance~~~ Now to get my membership at the YMCA!! Do any of you work out at the YMCA in Des Moines?

Congrats Lucky!!! I chose to work out at home due to schedule conflicts. Sometimes i workout at 9 pm if thats what i have to do. I am concentrating on resistence bands more than anything. Then i walk as much as i can on the days that I can. Down 55 pounds in 3 months!!! Still staying below 50 carbs daily and getting 80 grams Protein in...with 100 oz of Water daily!!! I have so much energy its unbelievable.

Hope everyone else is doing great and having a wonderful weekend.

Welcome jess!! I have not heard of Dr. Eibes...where from??

He is with Iowa weight loss specialists, located on West Des Moines and Belmond. He does surgery only in Belmond though. Great place, great person, I'm scheduled for the 21st and they let you stay in the hospital the night before surgery just to ease your mind. I'm excited.

How long is your preop liquid diet? I did a 1,200 calorie diet and only had to do two days of liquid diet right before surgery. Try to stay focused on your goals. Liquid diets aren't fun but it's important so surgery goes well. You can do this!! Remember, that liquid diet is only temporary and it's a step closer to your goals.

Thank you all. I appreciate it so much. I'm thinking maybe if I do it every other day starting now...then maybe it won't be so hard.
