JUST TWO MORE WEEKS!!
Hey everyone,
Just an update and check in. I'm alive and well, and my time to join the losers bench is nearing!
I start optifast tomorrow, and then surgery is Feb 12, 2018! Oneatatime, I notice you commented on my last post, I'm so sorry I've just been so busy! I miss talking and hearing from you lovely people!
So I'm sitting at TWH right now, I just finished my pre-op appointment, and everything is finally setting in. This is happening! I'm doing it! I am taking the leap!
I'm pumped, I mean I won't be eating until March, but I'm still SO pumped!!

Opti Wt Nov 4/17 226 lbs BMI 45 Sx Wt 212 lbs RNY surgery Nov 23/17 M1 -18 M2-9 M3-10 M4-8 M5-6 M6-7 M7-6 M8-3 M9-1(so far) Down to within one pound of my goal and 99 lbs down from my highest weight. I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
Nope, you won't be eating much at all! LOL!
I am happy for you. Good luck with everything.

This is so exciting but I'm starting to be scared too. I start OPTI tomorrow and surgery on the 16. I feel like today is my last human day! I really want to get on with it but am afraid of OPTI! Strange I am not afraid of the surgery. Like you I am pumped!
