4/15/06 Had my pre-op Thursday. I had a goal to lose 8 pounds in the 3 weeks before surgery, with a protein diet. Thursday was only day 13 and I had already lost 9 pounds! The doctor was very pleased, but not as pleased as I was! Of course, one of my issues is emotional eating, and I was very happy, so I 'celebrated' by buying a Wendy's double cheeseburger and fries. By the next day I had gained a pound, and gained another pound today, even though I've been good since then. Cheating really shows up on the scale. I wish that this was all over with and it was 6 months from now!
