A lot has happened in the last 3 months... Unfortunately I don't have time to give a complete update right now, but I will soon.

Progress - I'm just shy of 50lbs lost since mid-September! Down 72 lbs since this time last year!!! All my clothes are hanging off me!!!

Have had computer issues starting right before surgery, I was being lazy so instead of working on the desktop pulled out my laptop and used that for a while to just keep up with email and FB.  Fast forward 2 months, was away for the weekend and my house was broken into and the laptop (along with money, prescriptions, and our Wii) was stolen. So I've been working on the desktop for the last 3 weeks and can finally go for about an hour or two without having to reboot the computer. Decided that it was time to log back on here and see how things are going!

Hope everyone is well!

So I've started the pre-op diet (actually on day 2). OMG it's sooooo hard.

The morning didn't go too badly. I started with my protein shake and I was fine for quite a while. Then I had a protein bar. Still doing good. About an hour and a half later (around 1 o'clock)I found myself hunting the kitchen for SOMETHING! Well a very small piece of B-day cake (leftover from before I started the pre-op diet since my b-day falls in the middle of it)  and 3 servings of chex mix later I was able to stop myself (but not before chomping down a few fiber tablets out of guilt).

Feels like I need to box up all the food in the house, throw out all the food in the fridge, send the hubby out for dinner and tell him not to bring home ANY leftovers, and lock up the pantry. Upside is I figured out my problem, basically I know I let myself go far too long without anything to drink, because I HAD to eat something and getting a drink of water was not cutting it.

So it's 12 days til the surgery, and 2 til the protein shake pre-op diet. Is it bad that I'm thinking of some of what I am eating these last few days as my "last meals"?  Happy, excited, nervous and scared all at the same time. Well that and running around like a headless chicken trying to get everything that I need for the next month or so.

Had the last pre-op visit with the surgeon. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that I am down to 337! Last November I was 361. Not too bad on my own! Unfortunately, I know I could have done better had I tried harder.
