started second mo. monitored diet!

I dread the doctor because of the wicked scale, so starting the monitored diet was a HUGE step for me, at my first appointment I weighed 378, BMI 57. I felt awful. I was so ashamed, and could have crawled in hole to die. Today I went back for my second visit and I got on the cursed scale and to my Amazement I lost 18lbs I HAVE A NEW BMI 54! What a way to start off 06, I hope it stays this good! I just had to tell someone, oh heck EVERYONE! Good luck to all!

Way to go!!! A giant congratulations coming your way. Every pound you lose now will feel even better when you are post-op and you can add it to the weight you lose then. I am very proud of you. Loris

THANKS SO MUCH!

Hi Jessica I think we all have been in that hole. I know when I stepped on the scale and it said 327........I thought I was dreaming. And not a good cotton-candy-fluffy-cloud-kind of dream this was the kind where a monster is chasing you and you cant run and cant scream You have done so well on your pre-op diet so far Personally, I think its the hardest part of the whole GBS process. Your nerves are shot because of the upcoming surgery........and they want you to give up the only tranquilizer you have(food) oh well........just wanted to say Keep up the good work! take care willby

Congratulations Jessica! That is fantastic. Lori 384/258/168
