Hi vain, hows the diet going? are you having to drink lots of milk and yogurt? I've managed to loose my 10lbs but as there are 11 days before the op I have to make sure I don't put that 10lb back on again....which could easily happen. I am 276.5lbs and really should be 120. I've always been overweight but it was over the last few years that things really got out of control. I am so overweight now it is really disabling me, the worst thing is walking into a room and scanning the furniture to see if its going to give me a problem, you know, I may not fit into it or it might or I might break it!! There's certain cafes in town I won't go to now because I am not confident of their furniture :sigh: So anyway, I really hope this surgery helps me get all of that back under control.
