So I met with Dayna the nutritionist at EMMC today for the second time and I told her all the changes I have made since I saw her six weeks ago.  She said she thinks I would be a good candidate for surgery and is going to recommend me for it.  Now I'm REALLY nervous. But happy at the same time.  I told her didn't care if it was Toder or Huang, they both have great reputations and I am fine with either.  Phew!  Now I got to keep up the exercise and watching what I put in my mouth,  They are now requiring a steady weight loss until surgery....

Now the fun begins, your scale will be in the middle of the bathroom on a daily basis, you will walk and talk "Diet", exercise, read lables. and become addicted to OH.  Welcome to the club.  Boy life is fun!  we're here for you girl.

Yippee!!! You are on your way! As others have said, be ready for the rollercoaster of emotions including and not limitited to serious doubts about doinf it at all...we have all been there and this board gently and sometimes not so gently reminds us what we want, and how we will get there, and then support us along the way.  Get ready girl, you are on your way.  I have never, ever regreted this decision!!!!

It was magic when she realized who she had become...

Thank you for your inspiration, support, and humor!  You are all a great bunch of people and I'm glad if nothing else to have "met" all of you. You are right, as soon as I walked out of the "EMMC Mall" I felt nausious and wondered what the heck I am doing. But I'm not backing out now.
