I would like to lose another 13lbs by Christmas. Do you think that is a realistic goal? I had VSG on 8/28 and I am down 25lbs so far. Happy Halloween!

I'm having sleeve surgery next month. I seem to be more scared and intimidated of the pre-op diet than the actual surgery itself. Has anyone else felt like that prior to their surgery?
