Hi, Larissa!
I was so happy to read your posting. Dr. Miranda wants me to lose 16 lbs in 30 days. If I could do that I wouldn't be here, right? I told her that I have PCOS (which makes it harder to lose). So, I am so nervous about not losing enough before surgery. I weigh 320 now, but in November I was 305 lbs with a 38 bmi. Will they cancel the surgery?? My first weigh in is this Friday.

Just wondering if any of you post ops had the feeling of failing before you went. I am so excited to be having this surgery but so scared at the same time. I talked to Dr. Miranda yesterday and she wants me to lose 30 lbs by my surgery date of March 27th. My first reaction was to say are you nuts, but then I got to thinking she is a dr. and knows what she is thinking. After I hung up the phone I was thinking if I could do this then why do I need surgery? What if I don't make it do they turn me away? what about my non refundable airline ticket? I am not giving up and I will give this all I have to give, It is only for a month and I think I can stick to it, I just don't know if the body will shed the fat that fast! :-? Am I worrying for nothing???
CHeers and High hopes
