That's a good idea. It might actually make the transition a little easier when you have the surgery. When I was reading your post I thought of something that may be helpful for you. It's called fitday.com and it helps you track your food and weight loss. You may have heard of it but if not you should check it out. Good luck. Holly W

Holly, yes I have been there , plus tons of other weight loss sites, I even use to have a forum a couple years ago...would lose weight then gain more than I lost ..life long battle . Sherry

good idea, if you lose weight it will greatly lower the risks of surgery and make it easier for the surgeons to do their job. the healthier you are the lower the risks. the thinner you are the easier it is for them to perform the surgery. my first attempt at surgery my liver and gallbladder were in the way and they aborted the surgery. i got a new surgeon and he had me do a liquid diet for two weeks, i lost 20lbs, and more importantly my liver shrunk and he was then able to do the surgery laprascopically with no complications. congratulations on your decision to get healthy now and not wait. wise. very wise.
