21 days to Surgery...

I started my "fast" yesterday. Basically I am on shakes - at least 3 a day; 2 prepackaged entrees; and 5 fruits and vegetables. I need to lose 25 pounds before the surgery and am cutting it close but believe it is doable. My weight was 351 when I weighed this afternoon with the bariatric coordinator. It was 357 when I was at the surgeon's office so at least I am down some. I figure I will lose about 8-10 lbs this week.

In addition I need to up the exercise. I have been doing pretty minimal amounts so far and every bit at this point will help.

I am excited and the time feels all at once like it is too slow and too fast. It's crazy! I hope to be a much healthier happier slimmer me by this time next year :)
