Have my surgery date now too - mixed feelings!

I got my surgery date too now from Dr. Hagan's office, it's October 29th.  I can't wait!  However, although my initial feeling was excitement, I am also feeling anxious and nervous.  I know from reading the posts that it is normal to feel mixed emotions.  I've been eating regular healthy balanced meals for the past 5 weeks at the strong recommendation from the dietitian at the Finch site and have lost 8 lbs. and for a fleeting nanosecond I thought maybe I could continue to lose weight on my own - NOT!  Looking forward to the 29th!

They way I look at it, yes maybe we can lose some weight, but this is our best bet to keep most of it off and stay healthy, it is a tool to add to the tool box!!! U can do it!!! We all can.
