9 days and counting. Hubby and I went to a friends last night played cards and had a few totties. I have been trying to have a few things that I really like before surgery, but I don't want to over do it because I don't want to gain back any of my pre op weight that I have worked so hard to lose. 2 weeks ago I had brownies, Last week I had nachos with cheese and salsa, and last night I had my favorite wine. You can count on one hand how many times a year I have a few totties, but I know that after surgery it is a big big no, no, so I induldged. Today I will be extra vigilant with my eating, and I will skip the lawn tractor and use the push mower for our upper lawn, plus do my normal exercise. I have a weigh in on Monday so I hope I haven't jinxed myself. We have had a lot of rain and thunder storms the past few days, but today seems to be going to be beautiful, sunny and warm, look out pool here I come. My brother from Colorado called me he just turned 50 I called him on his b-day but he wasn't home so he was returning my call. I told him I was having the surgery, and he was supportive, there, now everyone in the family knows about my surgery. I weighed 290 in May, and I am down to 273. I am hoping to lose a couple more lbs before surgery. I would love to see 270. I have one more binge that I would like and that is to go to the Texas Road House and have a steak dinner, that won't be to bad if I don't over do it. I love their steak it is always sooooo good.
