I am down to 208lbs and still have 4 weeks before surgery. I set goals up for myself before surgery and have been sticking to them and its causing me to loose weight. Which at any other point in my life is a good thing. I called my Dr to see if this is going to be a problem and they said no but try to maintain until surgery.  I've been working out so that my body is strong for the surgery. I will have to focus on streightening vs cardio until surgery. 

Its strange that when I finally found out I was going to be approved, it was a weight was lifted and I was able to relax about my weight, I started to loose. Could the stress of being fat make me fat?? Anyway I have 27 days to go and it seems like an Freaken eternity. I can not wait until my pre-testing on May 9th, this should give me more info for the big day. Until next time....

We'll I've started setting small goals to prepare me for surgery. 
1. Excersise at least 3 times a week. Build muscle for the big day. So far so good.
2. Gave up Coffee and soda.. This was painful and I still go to the kitchen at work to grab a cup in the morning. I notice I sleep better but am more tired all day.. Hoping this will pass.
3. This week I am giving up sweets (choc, candy, etc..). We get donuts delivered on Fridays were I work so I will just have to bring my own snack to get me by. Wish me luck.......
4. 2 week goal is to cut out chips, frys, rice and bread. Prepare myself for the other side.. :)
5. 3 week goal is to cut out fast food completely. This takes food planning which I have not been disoplined so far.
6. The week before surgery I want to ensure I am living up to the following 5. This is a test of how much I want it.

May 21st seems like an eternity away. It is just so amazing on how people loose so quickly so I feel like everyday that I am waiting is a waiste. But don't have a choice in the matter so I wait.
