Ok, all. I've totally turned into the biggest cheater. I do my two shakes a day, then I go home, exercise and eat a salad with tuna and low far/low carb dressing. Last night I decided, screw it, I'm having sushi because I won't be able to eat it for a long while. So now, I've officially gained six pounds since last saturday. I'm getting real concerned they aren't going to let me have the surgery on Tuesday. I guess having my last course of hot wings before the surgery wouldn't be a good idea, would it????

Kellymovingon - I am glad that you have a September date and ready to hear all you have to post! Talk to us girl!!!!

Darr5380 - I tried to do the liquid diet pre-op but haven't been able to. But, my dr doesn't require it either. So, I have choosen, just to behave and not do any bingeing!

Katmeg, have you talked to your dr office if you happen to gain weight? Some drs won't do the surgery. Just please be extra cautious! I hope that it gets easier for you. But, I totally know how you feel. Good luck with your diet!!!

We'll see. It's just real clear to me that the 11 pounds I lost in 8 days was all Water. I'm scheduled to go in Monday for my blood work and a final weigh in. We'll see. On another note, I just wanted to say how wonderful it is how you keep up with everyone. It is really uplifting.

You're the day after me, right? Just a few sleeps away!

Katmeg99 - I hope everything goes well for you on Monday with your weigh in. I think it is hard enough trying to deal with the surgery itself, but to have the stress like you have of losing a lot of weight in a short amount of time is very difficult.

I am being banded on the 18th and I hope you enter bandland with me girl!

THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS!!

gurlygirl: let's keep in touch after the 18th and see how things go. Oddly enough, going off the shake diet I lost 2 pounds. Go figure. Can't figure it out. Are you getting nervous?

Katmeg - I enjoy chatting with all of you and truly care about all the outcomes! Let me know how your appt goes! I am one day after you! Hopefully you will be able to get on and let me know how it went, before I jump on the bandwagon too! Good luck with the labs and weigh in! Are you nervous yet? I am trying to do everything to keep busy, did I mention we decided to paint our house this weekend? Talk about keeing busy huh? What are you doing to kill time?

Katmeg99 - I would love to keep in touch. I am leaving late tonight to fly to Denver for my preop appointment tomorrow. Then Tuesday is "THE DAY". :omg:

Starting to really feel like this is for real. :nervous There is no turning back. I have spent the money, bought flights for DH and myself, hotel, car rental. So, I am commited to my new healthier lifestyle.

Congrats on the two pounds. :clap2:

I will be logging in from the hotel tomorrow night. Please either post a message or send me a private message to let me know how you made out at your appointment.

:gluck:
