Last Day

This is my last day of what I will refer to as "real food". I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and now that I weighed myself, I'm wondering if I might be starting way too early? I need to lose a total of 13.5lbs by October 1st and when I weighed myself tonight, I'm down 9lbs since my original weigh in. The plan is to start no less than 2 weeks prior to surgery and I was so worried that I wouldn't lose the weight that I was planning to start 18 days early. Then like usual, I freaked myself out and decided to start 25 days early. I guess I'll just look at this as practice for my new eating style and when I lose more than the 13.5lbs, It will just be proof to myself I can keep it going after surgery.
