DUCKS IN A ROW

OK, I JUST GOT MY PRE-OP APPOINTMENT APPROVAL SO I WILL GO TO MUSC/DR BYRNE THURS, 10/20. I'M TAKING ALL THE SUPPLEMENTS + BIOTIN FOR MY HAIR. I'M ON A MODIFIED PRE-OP DIET. MY HIGH WEIGHT WAS 279 & I JUST WEIGHED 269.8 (STARK NAKED STANDING ON MY TIPPY TOES ) THIS MORNING SO I AM OUT OF THE 270s FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK 16 DAYS & A WAKE UP!!!!!!

Lady D, Congrats to you. I'm so happy you got approval. Your new birthday is coming up soon. Keep up with the pre-op diet. I've been on mine since 10-7-05. Will keep you in my thoughts tomorrow at Temple. All my best, Lisa J

I'M DOING BETTER THAN I EXPECTED ... PROTEIN SHAKES, BARS, MINUTE MAID LIGHT CITRUS DRINKS, ANIMAL PROTEIN ... TONIGHT AT OUR WEEKLY MEETING, INSTEAD OF DIVING INTO ANYTHING & EVERYTHING, I HAD A CEASAR SALMON SALAD & WATER (YOU COULDN'T PRY A COKE OUT OF MY HANDS BEFORE). A WONDERFUL WLS FRIEND, MS CHERYL, BROUGHT ME SOME HIGH-PROTEIN WLS ITEMS TO TRY, WHICH I REALLY APPRECIATE. MS BRITTY & HER SWEET HUBBY, TED, BROUGHT EVERYONE BOXES OF STALLONE HIGH-PROTEIN PUDDING TO TRY. I'M SOOOOO READY, THAT I'M NOT REALLY TEMPTED TO GO CRAZY. MY FAMILY IS GOING TO A JAPANESE RESTAURANT WHERE THEY COOK AT YOUR TABLE AS A "LAST SUPPER" BUT EXCEPT FOR THE RICE, IT IS ALL PROTEIN ... IF I WANT A TREAT AT HOME, WE BOUGHT S-F POPCICLES & S-F JELLO. THANK YOU FOR RAISING ME UP IN THOUGHT AT TEMPLE ... I TRULY APPRECIATE IT, MS LISA! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK
