This time next week I will have a brand new way of life. I want to thank all of you for your continued support and for sharing your stories and experiences. I for sure, will pay it forward! My surgery is set for next Monday,(7/7/14) I only have to do a two day liquid diet, which in the most awesome way it could have turned out begins the day AFTER the 4th. So my husband and daughters and step-son will enjoy a meal out together on friday and then meet up with some friends for fireworks and deserts (my gift for deserts will be FRUIT lol). I won't overdo it but I will make sure to enjoy it.

I have decided to go with RNY. Although I can change my mind right up unitl Monday morning! But I really don't plan on it. As you know I have given this A LOT of thought and I feel for me this will be the best fit. I hope and pray for dumping :laugh: but if I don't get blessed with it it is ok I will still work this awesome tool and finally get at a healthy weight!

I am only 4'10 so my ideal weight is only around 110 lbs but I see myself more comfortable at 120-125. So GOODBYE 80+ lbs!! It's been real but I'm leaving you. No we will not be getting back together, I'm going to lose you and have no plans for finding you ever again. :wink:

Good luck to everyone in thier upcoming surgeries and continued weight loss!
