MY LAST TIME TO SEE MY DOCTOR

I saw my doctor for the last time today before my surgery on Aug 30th. I have been on the south beach diet for about 3 weeks and I lost 10.5 pounds. He wants me to lose more before the surgery if I can. He also said if I gain any weight he WON'T do the surgery. Talk about some stress. I guess from the time you think about WLS until you have it and are well, it's nothing but stress.....stress.......stress. I have read some of the stressful things others go through and I envy them for being so strong. Patty

You can do it. My son is on the South Beach Diet and he is doing wonderfully. Just stick to it and you'll do fine. I pray that you will feel peace instead of stress. You will be strong to, just take one day at a time and remember that August 30 is only 17 days away!
