I have started the pre-op liquid diet. 3-5 shakes a day of two flavors (vanilla and orange cream). Don’t know how much weight, if any, this particular part of the journey will remove, but the shakes will help me prepare my liver to move out of the way for surgery (by shrinking).
Am I hungry? After the last few months eating to prove a point, of course I am. I am not above chewing cardboard at this point…but I won’t because I’m determined to make the adjustment. One day, I will be able to eat solid food again – anything I want – and I plan on being quite the food snob by then.
I can’t believe I’m having surgery in 12 days. 12 days to change my life for the better forever!

Only 12 days, yay! I look forward to watching your journey unfold!! You’re going to do awesome.
SO exciting! I’m starting my pre-op next week!
