Pre-Op Thankful post!

Hey guys! I've been on this site for over a year and am finally committed to taking the step toward a healthier me. I am losing 10% of my weight before they will give me  a surgery date, and I am about 8 pounds away from that goal. That means since Feb 21, I have lost 24 pounds. I just wanted to thank you all for posting your success stories, your tips, and your questions for help on here that have kept me motivated to get to where I need to be. I know I'm not quite there yet, but the excitement I feel about getting the surgery is so overwhelming, at times its hard to focus on anything else (My poor professors and boyfriend)!

Thank you again and I look forward to being on the losers bench with you guys! 

Amanda, Congratulations on making your decision! And congrats on that 24 pounds! Awesome job! Maybe we'll have our surgeries close in time together and can keep each other going.

I agree about this site.....it's one of the best thanks to all the sharing. My program I'm in actually had this site as one of the ones they suggested. So happy and thankful I came here!

I agree! Yea hopefully we will have the surgery around the same time =) Im looking around June though, so the semester will be over. When were you hoping to have it?

I'm hoping mid April, but there may be a few weeks wait they said. Depends on how many are on the waitlist. We shall see! Can't blame you for waiting for your semester to be over. Then you can just concentrate on YOU.

Definitely! Ah! I'm so excited!! Keep me posted on how you are doing =)
