Official update on my WLS journey

Went to WW today and visited with Chris, Somer, and Tina.  I am at 413 pounds from 448.5.  I need to lose just 8.5 more pounds and I can have surgery.  I am also scheduled to see the cardiologist on Friday for clearance.  I hope that goes well as there is a history of heart issues in my family.

Just 8.5 pounds!!  I am SOOO close!

That is so exciting! YEAH!!!!!!!!  Congratulations!

Jerri

That's GREAT..  Exciting news..  You will get the 8.5 off in no time and be prepping for surgery..

Congratulations, keep up the GREAT work..

Sheila

Your doing great!  Keep it up and you will be there in a couple weeks.

HiJack!!!  I like your new avatar Jeromy!!!

Oh, you ROCK. I'm so excited. You have worked so hard, the 8.5 will come off in no time. Good luck Friday.

Congrats!!!!!!!! and those few pounds will be off before you know it my prayers are with you

Shoot, Winne, you'll lose that much in a day or two of liquids.  No sweat!  Congratulations.  Maybe you can be surgery buddies with Jeremy on the 23rd?

I would LOVE nothing more than to be in such august company the day of surgery!  I doubt I can work off the 8.5 pounds by then while getting cleared by the cardiologist.  I will try hard but my average since Thanksgiving has been 5 pounds per week.  Ask Jerri S.  She knows how hard I have been working! 

This is such a strange journey.  I started my diet the day before Thanksgiving.  I sat through Thanksgiving and Christmas watching everyone eat while I sat and ate little and very slowly.  My food got cold!!  Yet here I am 35 pounds lighter and on the cusp of the next big change of my life.  Nothing has been this hard yet fulfilling.

Keep a spot warm for me on the bench!  I'm almost there!

Fluff!  Fluff!

Fluff!  Fluff!

Those are your pillows on the Loser's Bench!

You are showing amazing willpower!  You are going to be a fabulous success because you are so ready mentally.  Make sure and take a lot of pre-op pics!
