Soooo close to meeting my pre-surgery goal!

My RNY is Monday, and my goal for my 6-7 month pre-op phase (once I was sure I wouldn't disqualify myself) was to lose 80 lbs before surgery. That's as much as I've ever been able to lose on my own, so it made sense to me to aim to do all I could before getting a new tool to help me get the rest of the way. This morning, I came within 1.6 lbs of that goal! I have 2 days left (including one on all liquids) to get there, but even if I don't, I'm sure I'll be so distracted by trying to get my fluids and protein in that it won't even bother me, hahaha.

My husband's VSG is on 5/11. He had a high weight of 475 in 2008 and has kept off 50. His goal was to get under 400 by surgery, and this morning he was at 400.6! Here's hoping we're on the right track!

Thank you all for the support and wisdom you've given me over the past few months...it's been absolutely invaluable!

How awesome!  Best wishes to you BOTH and with you two doing this journey TOGETHER I can't imagine anything but success for you both!  Congrats!

If I were to walk in your door right now I'd give you an ENORMOUS hug! Great beginnings for both of you - wishing you ALL the best as the journey gets underway!

Both you and your husband are doing a fantastic job. Sounds like you both have your head set in the right mindset!!! Keep up the good work. It has to be wonderful that you both are on the journey together!!

Oh my goodness, congratulations! I lost only 10 measly pounds in my 3 month pre-op, so I think you're a star!  And tomorrow you'll be on the losers bench and with your awesome attitude, you will be in great shape.

I start my new job and travel tomorrow, and remember that you have a conference coming in at the start of June.  I will let you know how all my planning went and share any experience I can.  But right now, just focus on your health and wellness.  You're off to a great start if you ask me! 

Good luck at the new job! Definitely let me know how the traveling goes!
