grad here!!

I thought I would stop in and tell you all good luck, and strap your seat belts in. You are in for a fantastic ride. I am 43 yrs old 5"7 I started out this journey 3/27/2006 and 278lbs. I am now around 130lbs. I actually would like to gain a little back. I was a size 24 pant when I started out and now I'm a size 2. I just thought I would let you know the journey has just begun and you will get out of this what you put into it it. Just follow the rules..Good luck

Thanks for the encouragement. I am 8 days pre-op and struggling today w/ the liquid diet... I just keep telling myself hold on a few more days... the nights are the hardest...any suggestions?
