Well, yesterday was 3 weeks out from surgery. I have lost a total (pre op diet included) of 40 pounds!!! Yay me!![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/party.gif)

I am also having a hard time with following a food schedule. I can't seem to eat on a schedule. I am drinking all day until I know I am getting hungry or should eat something then hold off so I don't wash the food/protein out. I am getting at least 60 grams protein a day.
When my stomach swelling goes down, I will be able to button those size 20s I keep trying on. 1/2 an inch away! Yippee!!

I am also so proud of my friends for all of their accomplishments with this too! It makes me happy to read everyone's blogs
