Me Too!!, Me Too!!

Dec 5, 2008 seems to be a popular day for surgery. Good luck to all of us, what ever day it is. I can't wait to see the Christmas card we send out NEXT year. I may get one of those borderline tacky ones with a picture of everybody in shorts and Santa hats pretending to be cold.

ok, hopefully I did not just offend everyone. Point being, can't wait to look more like a Holliday Hottie, less like my kid's snow man (lumpy, bulgy and way to fat on the bottom!)

Congratulations to all of you December 5th people I have been counting down the days cant wait.. I keep hearing a lot of people talk about a liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery. I am so lucky I don't have to do that. My Dr. requires liquid 24 hrs before surgery and that is it. I wonder why requirments are different?

Well there is a wide variety of reasons for the differences. First off is the surgeons themselves and how they feel about it or not. Secondly is each persons BMI. For example my sugeon is requiring me to do 3 weeks of the Liver Shrinking Diet because my BMI is over 50. Others of course would get less time and some may not even at all.

On a side note I actually started the shakes in the morning a week ago. This week I started shakes for both morning and lunch. I want to make sure my liver is shrunk for my surgery. I have heard a few to many people talk about having to have their surgery delayed and rescheduled because they had not shrunk their liver enough. Not to mention I wanted to start getting used to eating differently. I mean really why should I wait to start working on living a better life? The more I can do to help myself now the easier the surgery will go, the faster the recovery process will be, and the sooner I can continue down this path to a better and thinner life.

Oh and I am not officially on the diet until Nov. 14th.
