Hello Jodi Congratulations to you! I'm sure you will do fine with your diet. My surgeon is requiring that I lose about 10 lbs prior to surgery as well. We can do it!! Best wishes & Good luck to you! -Nikki Surgery 8/17/04

Thank you!!! I am starting a diet on Wednesday. Protien drink in the AM and in the afternoon with a green salad and a healthy choice meal for dinner-snacks will be veggies and fruit only!! This was a recomendation by the Phy. Assistant at my surgeons office. I hope it works for the next 6 weeks! 5 pounds a week!! Here we go! Thanks Again- Jodi
