I received my approval and am scheduled for surgery May 4th.

 

This past Friday morning, I started the two-week pre-op diet, consiting solely of Medifast.

 

By Saturday night, I was ready to rip someone's head off.

 

I'm doing better, however, because after MUCH research I decided that it was okay for me to eat two lettuce leaves in the evening, with a very thin piece of turkey (Buddig).

 

While my surgeon has said NOTHING but Medifast, I realize what my body is capable of, and I'm doing this so that I CAN make it through these two weeks and still have shrunk the liver enough to have the surgery.

 

Friday morning I weighed 293.8, and this morning I weighed 288.

 

I am scared about adjusting my life around the band, but I know that I can do it. I just don't want to be at work and PB or have something stuck and then not being able to function.
