Losing Pre-op weight

Hi All, It has been A LONG WHILE since I've posted on this board. HOW IS EVERYONE???? I am doing GREAT! I just saw Elina (my nutritionist) and I am down 12 pounds - that is with jeans on. At home, I am down 14 pounds with jeans OFF! I am so excited! I will be having surgery with Dr. Aranow in January (if all goes well) and only have 8 lbs left to lose. This has been a long road for me already. It has taken me since July to lose this 12 lbs. I think I've finally figured out how to do it, when to weigh, when NOT to weigh, how much water to drink, how long to exercise, etc. It's amazing to me that I forgot how to do all this! I've been dieting my whole life - how is it that I've just figured out how to lose 20 lbs? Anyway, just wanted to share my news. I'm very happy. Now, off with the last 8! Have a great day! Michelle

Hey Girlfriend! I'm glad to see your post! I'm glad that you finally to Elina and I hope that she helped me! Only 8 pounds left! That's a few 3 mile walks briskly and a few gallons of water and they'll be gone...Before you know it, I'll be ringing you up in the hospital and hearing how groggy you are!!! Keep it up so we can start to swap stories and recipes soon! Paula

Congratulations Michelle Keep up the good work, your on your way in your steps then you will be on your journey to the losing side with all of us. Take care and good luck Hugs KimC
