As of today I am down 25 lbs and only 150 to go!!! YAHOO!!!
I joined a gym last week and went the first time yesterday. I had a great time and looking forward to going a lot. Excercise is very important regardless if I had surgery or not, however surgery is making me want to go.
Went to my first support group last night. Very informative and insightful. There was a mom there who lost 267 lbs and looks AMAZING!! She's my height, bone size and a mom to 2 boys. She's my idol. I can identify with everything she said and felt. I do not believe in coincidence, so she was meant to be there that night.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I'm not really in the mood. I don't think it's about my new relationship with food or maybe it is. Who knows... All I know is I wish I had 1 more week to prepare.

Almost 2 week update
Nov 09, 2008
So, I will post some truths about this surgery:
1. The first 4 days were horrible!! I couldn't eat much and the discomfort was hell!!!
2. Day 5 I turned over a new leaf and felt happy about getting the surgery.
3. Day 12 I became daring and had something I wasn't allowed and paid for it dearly. DO NOT STRAY FROM THE PROGRAM is my lesson so far.
4. People haven't noticed the loss yet and that's ok. My clothes feel much looser and showering has become sooooo much easier. I can actually wash my own butt!!!!
5. Starting to work on my head and listening to my body when it's full. I still want to pig out, but I cannot ever again and that's why this surgery will be my saving grace.

PF Changs and Egg Drop soup
Nov 09, 2008
Went out last night with hubby and another couple. Ordered the egg drop soup and it was yummy!! Then, I felt daring and had 4 bites of tofu - BIG MISTAKE!!! Minutes later my friend asked if I was ok and I wasn't so off to the bathroom I go. Can you say it wasn't pleasant!!! EVERYTHING I ate wound up in the sink. Luckily I made it to the movies and with no popcorn. That was a first and you know what...it wasn't bad. I think I can actually live without popcorn at the movies!

Surgery is 4 days away and I'm trying to stay positive and focused. Pre-op diet has been fine and easy to do. I've strayed every now and then and I'm not beating myself up about it.
10/14/08 starts the journey...

I start my pre-op diet on Tuesday. ugh!
First visit with Dr. Perez

My husband and I meet Dr. Perez and his staff yesterday and all I can say is fantastic! I feel I'm in the best hands for my surgery and eager to get the pre-op process completed.
