Hi!

Sorry, sometimes I think I shouldn't do that, it sounds like I'm encouraging cheating.  I'm just confessing my weakness and in my own way (although this too may be just an excuse to lure you down the path of evil so I am not alone with my weak pathetic self) letting the strugglers know that we understand how hard it is.

on the flip side, I lost 15 lbs on the pre op diet (but I'm a gym rat, I would do an extra 15 mins elliptical for that pickle)

I Wish I had some solid advice for you, but since I went to Mexico for my surgery, I did not have a pre-op diet to follow other than 3 days of yogurt before surgery.  

I just want to wish you the best of luck on your surgery, and welcome you to the loser's bench
