I kind of had a last weekend. My friend got married in Chicago, so I had my last drinking binge. It was a two day bender which I ended up sleeping in the bathroom, don't know if I will ever drink gin again. I had pancakes twice that weekend and to top the whole weekend off I went straight from the airport ot my favorite eatery -- Montgomery Inn for ribs. This is my absolute favorite place in Cincinnati, so I had to have one last "stuffing" for old times sake. It was awesome. I am 6 days into my 2 week diet and down over 10 pounds already, so I am loving it.

I have 7 days & I'm nervious & excited also good luck

Hello everyone, I am new here also. I just got back from Chicago a few hours ago. I had gone for my pre-op with my doctor. May 5th is my wls also. I was real excited until I was talking to my doctor about what weight i should set as my goal weight. If I remember right i think he said, 180 to 160lbs if i work real hard at it. I'm 281.6 lbs todays weight. Does this this sound right to you all? I was not scared just impatient now i feel like my bubble has been popped. Not that that is not a great improvement. But i must admit i was hoping for more. I'm not near as pumped up as i was, but i am very tired from the trip maybe tomorrow will be better. I pray we all have great success.

Thanks lol :P its pretty hard I am on my second week now. I lost 6 pounds the first week, the goal I have to meet before surgery is 13 pounds.

If I could this is what I would have before surgery lol :P Curry Beef w/ Fried Rice and Hot and Sour Soup and I would get my mom to make Cube Steak and gravy with homemade fried potatoes. a schlotskys original Spicy tuna rolls and regular tuna rolls with shrimp sauce. I am on Optifast for 1 month for my surgery and I am craving stuff lol :P
