Prayers and Crossed Fingers

Thanks Rita, And just for everyone else to know, I'm down another 4 pounds in 9 days. I have 8 more left to lose, and hopefully I get to schedule my surgery next Thursday before the support group...I'm so close, yet so far away lol.

Hi Michelle.  I grew up in Ada and all my family still lives there.  I was in the same boat as you prior to my lap band surgery and I went completely on liquids until my next appointment and ended up 8 pounds less than where Dr. B told me to be or he would cancel my surgery if I wasn't there.  I wasn't going to take a chance on that.  The Bariatric drinks they have there at Weight Wise are pretty good for the most part.  My favorites are  the Pro to Go Chocolate drink, the Wild Passion Berry drink, and the Hot Chocolate drink and lots of water, SF popsicles and flavored water.   You will be surprised at how fast the weight comes off. I wish you the best in getting to your surgery date.

yeah, they have put me on the complete fast diet. which is basically 3 55 shakes, a very high protein shake, a bar, and a soup. Thats it lol.

That sounds like the one I was on to get rid of the last few pounds.  Keep lots of water type drinks going with those also so you won't be to hungry.  Get in as much exercising as you possibly can during this time it will make you reach your goal and it will make it much easier to get up and walk after your surgery and during your recovery.  Hang in there and I know you will make it and be on the loser's bench with me.  I will save  my "home girl" a seat next to me.  We Ada people have to stick together..
