Congratulations, Third Weekers

In spite of the emotional upheaval of "the week before surgery", you all behaved admirably this week and totally refrained from food fights! I applaude your restraint! Next week is the onset of an exciting adventure. It will not be an easy week, but the beginning of a wonderful new life. Be sure and weigh and measure yourselves before you go, and drink as much as you possibly can preop. God bless you! Joy

Thanks for the kind words and I will take your advice and drink, drink, drink, and drink somemore..... marcy 3/16/04

Thanks Joy! I'm a drinking fool this weekend....well water that is. I'm already thirsty just thinking about not having any until the 3rd day after surgery! Wendy

I'm making my last minute lists and getting it together...speaking of weight. Which weight is our official one...the one we weighed in at in the surgeon's office on the first visit, the last visit or the one at the Hospital day of surgery? I say it is the most recent before surgery, right? I know they weigh us in pre-op so I will have a recent number.

Sally, although my doc will go by my weight at his office, I go by my last weight. Hope this helps!! It helps me to think I lost more then what will be at the docs lol... atleast 6 lbs more. Bethany AKA Da Offishal Riddler and Bertha 11 Days into NewPouch and feeling great! -25 lbs!!!! Yayyyy A riddle a day will keep the Marchers pounds AWAY!

Food fights are the last thing you'll find me involved in--I'm eating everything in sight, and enjoying it guilt free. This is just lovely. I'm committed to a change in my life but that starts on Wed. when I go on my pre op liquid diet. In the meantime - get outta my way --I am a danger with my knife and fork in hand. Tonight I had a dinner party, am giving another tomorrow night and then have parties to go to on Sunday and Monday - I am partying my way to surgery. Louise
