It worked! Crashed off over 26lbs!

Thanks, everybody, for your good luck wishes and prayers (not to mention swinging chickens!). I weighed at the surgeon's office today and was down EXACTLY how much I needed to be: 26.5 lbs!! That is thanks to 11 days on a major crash diet. So surgery is on for July 6 --- Friday!!! I can't believe it's finally here. I'll go ahead and ask for more of those prayers and wishes to get me through a safe surgery. Thanks, Frances

Yeahhhhh  you  have those prayers. Good luck and the best on your journey... I am proud of you. You can do this.....

WOW, Congrats, they sure scheduled you fast.. Good Luck and get ready for the greatest ride of your life. Lynn

I am so very happy for you (and a little envious too)  WOW Friday... enjoy the fireworks... and know that next year you can sit in any ol flimsy lawn chair you want to!

Wowzers - what was your crash diet?  I need to lose as much as possible before next Thurs. Congratulations!  I am so excited for you!

My crash diet was 3 Slimfast Optima shakes a day, plus a ton of sugarfree popsicles, Diet Dr. Pepper, and water. I also allowed myself about 4 ounces of protein food a day (like a grilled chicken breast, sliced deli turkey, etc.). Good luck on your crash diet!

Thanks for the info!  I've been doing something similar since Saturday, 3 atkins shakes and small bit of protein if I need it.  Gotta get into exercise gear more though.  Best of luck Friday, you'll do great!

 Yipee yipee yipee YeahCongradulations. Said a prayer for you to have a safe surgery and will try to find some more chickens Yeah for Frances

Thanks, everybody! Now I hope I don't gain it all back with my "last supper" tomorrow! :)

WOW,    I'm impressed! Good for you and good luck on Friday! You'll do great!
