Surgery Date Scheduled!!

Nov 10, 2011

I don't normally get on my computer.  I browse on the iPad but I can't make updates to my blog on it, only in the forums :(  So I'm on my iMac today to say that I received a call yesterday (11/9/11) that I was approved for surgery!  My surgeon's office called this morning to schedule my surgery date which is...NOVEMBER 23, 2011!!  That's right, I'll be in the hopsital on Thanksgiving.  But you know what, that's totally ok with my husband and I.  It's not about the food anymore.  I'll miss seeing my family but I'll see them next month at Christmas...all skinnier :D teeheeheehee OMG!  Plus, my husband already has days off for Thanksgiving so more days to take care of me and the kids!

Another thing...everyone at the hospital and the surgeon's office is just as excited as the patient (well, not exactly) but they say, "congratulations, I'm so happy for you", "your new life starts soon."  Anyway, they seem really excited to watch patients go through this process.  

Today is my "last meal" so to speak.  I'm having pizza, then it's 3 shakes a day, some fruit, veggies, and a sensible dinner from here on out.  I have been replacing breakfast and lunch with shakes but now it's serious time!  Time to really train for surgery and shrink my liver!  hooray!
