YEEHAAAA!! IM GONNA MAKE IT
Hi Steve,
Congrats on loosing this weight preop! I have started to lose too, but luckily don't have a mandatory amount to lose for my BPD/DS on 3/7/05. When I started researching WLS, I was at 285 at only 5 foot 1 1/2" and was down to 265 recently, but now I don't want to step on the scale as I stopped drinking just Atkins as a lunch meal and am cramming in extra carbs and other things afraid some days that I won't be able to eat them again. As of Monday 2/21/05 I will be eating proteins only for two weeks and have completely stopped caffeine until after the surgery. My surgeon, Dr. Jossart in San Francisco, says staying away from the carbs will help my liver get in better shape for surgery- which I really want so I will abide their instructions.
Keep up the good work! See you on the loosing side, Strong Man!!!
Peace,
SuzyQ
