Losing question
You have come this far! Scuse me for buttin in here. Your surgery is in 2 days. Remember when I was trying to back out? Full steam ahead right? Cold feet? Just think, when you lose your weight, if you are too small you can pump some iron to be all hot and everything. And when you have big biceps people can actually see them! It's a big decision, one that nobody can make for you. I on the other hand have pissed away my chance now and I think my surgery will be cancelled on Wed because i gained too much weight back after my pre surgery physical. I'm going crazy here thinking what have I done! I know what you are going through right now! Do I ,or what the heck was I thinking?! I love food too and we will be able to eat again remember? We are doing this cause of the blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes right? The sooner we address those issues the better so keep that in mind. It's all about the health right?

He's right! Don't give up now. Did you go to liquids today? It's amazing how much you can lose in a couple of days if you are strict with yourself. Also, many surgeons are not as strict as mine about the surgery day weigh in. You realize how many people must do what you did just b/4 their surgery - the last supper syndrome and all. Yes surgeons DO hope their patients come to surgery with a softened liver and some room in their tummies for them to get around in there, BUT, can you imagine how many surgeries would have to be cancelled at the last minute if they rejected all the patients who slipped up? They'd go broke and the hospitals would kill them! Many surgeons go ahead with the surgery anyway and they manage just fine.
Why am I telling you this? Because you sound so distressed and defeated right now. Don't get too discouraged. Coming clean with your surgeon tomorrow could be a good thing. They might just tell you the same thing I did (liquid diet). Please try not to panic. Get some rest and see what they say in the morning. You WILL have your surgery. The worst case would be he tells you it would be better to wait another 2 weeks or so. You will be alright. You want it done under the best cir****tances for your surgeon to do his best work, right? So just try to breathe and remind yourself that you will do what he tells you and you'll be joining us on the loser's bench VERY SOON!
PLEASE report back tomorrow. I'll be wondering how it goes.
hugs.

5.5 POUNDS TO 100 LB LOSS!!!
thanks Kathy. Yes I am pretty distressed but I had a protein shake for breakfast today and I'll have another Tuesday morning. I hit the treadmill 2 times a day for 1.5 miles each yesterday, today and will tomorrow also. (maybe 3 tomorrow if I think I need to.) This sucks. It just snuck up on me. With so little weight to lose I've been up and down 10 lbs back and forth for 6 months. I'm sick of this. I can do it in 3-4 days no problem but 2 days? I have another 4-5 lbs to go till wed morning. I had to lose 6 all together so "no" I don't think he'll be happy with me at all. Especially since 2 weeks ago my weigh in weight was 8 lbs lighter than I am now. My own darn fault and I'm paying for it. Thanks for the support though
