Got a surgery date!

  • Popular Post

I finally have a date for surgery! January 4th, 2017 is the date! I am a bit nervous as I have never had surgery or been under anesthesia before but I'm looking forward to dropping this weight for good! The surgeon wants me to do a liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery as he would like the liver to shrink to make it easier to get to the bits he needs to work with.

    Thanks everyone. 12 days to go! Doing liquid diet for 2 weeks to shrink liver so I got a tub of Phood Meal Replacement powder, and some Soup, yogurt, v8, juice, and oatmeal. I'm starving.....lol. It's all worth it though. :-)

    My BMI is 52. It was 54 when I started the program so I did lose a little weight before. My surgeon wanted me to get down to 50 before surgery which I think I might just pull it off. :-)
