Well I went to my pre-op diet class yesterday and I made it! I am down 23 lbs and only needed 18 to qualify. As long as I don't gain any back between now and my pre-op appt on thursday I will be having surgery on Monday, January 19th. Any others out there scheduled for the 19th?

I'm post-op but I wanted to say congratulations on a surgery date! That is such a great feeling. Hopefully someone will chime in and say they are your surgery buddy!

I think you should take measurements all over your body so you'll have a way to compare on down the road. And write down all the things you hate about being obese so you can remember everything you are grateful for once you are skinny! You are going to be amazed at how fast you lose.

Congrats and keep us posted!

Jeremy,

I am so happy for you.. Congratulations and you will do GREAT.. You are going to be so active this summer and those twin boys are going to keep you busy... Way to go on getting the required weight off, and you will probably lose more before Jan 19th too...

If you have any questions just let me know and I will be happy to answer them..

Congratulations on your date.. We are so proud of you..

It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday and a wish you continued success in your weight loss. God willing we will both be thin and trim by next Christmas.

God bless,

Jeremy

Congratulations Jeremy! I know you are so excited and you've done amazingly well loosing 23 pounds and getting through the holidays to boot! You're really done the hardest part...for me it was anyway. The rest is just following the instructions. You'll have head hunger but shouldn't experience real hunger...amazing isn't it. 2009 is going to be the year for freedome for you from obesity!!! Hope to see you Thursday and support group. That was another thing that has added to my success is continuing to go to support group meetings and relying on these wonderful folks for my help and accountability!!! We're getting your place on the Looser's Bench all ready for you.
