:) 3 weeks and counting.. So excited..

[New&Improved 1,780]

I cannot believe I'm so close after over 12 months of research and waiting for my insurance to mature I'm finally at the last leg of this race.

3 weeks today (Monday in Australia)

I've been through so much mentally recently and I'm proud of how far I've come.

I decided to start my own diet 6 weeks ago and I'm down now 46lbs.

I'm so excited to start the next leg of my journey and begin the next chapter of my life.

I'm looking at 80-90lbs to get below the 200lbs goal and hopefully end up around 185-195!!

Thank you all for your support and kind words.

(I've already had to buy some new clothes and feeling a little more confident every week)

Absolutely it's been a year waiting

My surgery is the same day! I'm having the sleeve gastrectomy. I'm nervous and excited as well! Apprehensive about starting the pre-op diet on Monday. 4 Optifast shakes a day with unlimited sugar free Jello, popsicles, broth, no-calorie sports drinks, Water. In moderation right now, I've indulged myself to have some things I know I won't be able to eat much of in the future. Had a few Stella Artois beers the other day, had my last Diet Pepsi, and some fast food-but just half of what I'd normally would order. I weigh myself every other day to be sure I'm still on track. I have lost 16lbs since I began the program in May. I know on the pre-op diet I'll drop even more.

Best of luck to us, Mikeyy! We can do this!!
