OK so now let the journey begin!! My packet has been sent to insurance as of 1/30/2014 - which means it should be approved within the next two weeks and I could be set for surgery within the next 14 days!! I'm so excited.
The 1st step to the actual weight loss is the per-operative liver reduction diet. The intentions of this diet is to begin your weight loss, reduce the size of your liver for easier maneuvering while in the abdominal cavity and to prepare you for the life to come.
So I'm ready!! I got up I've made my 1st protein shake and its in the freezer getting as cold as possible.
Diet plan for this week:
shake for breakfast
Adkins bar for snack
hard boiled egg & 1 piece of dry toast for lunch
sugar free jell-o for snack
and then dinner....
I may switch it up every other day and do the shake for lunch - we'll see!!
Current weight 241.1 pounds
I'm a mom on the weight loss journey of a life time. I've decided at the age of 40 to undergo bariatric surgery to lose the weight I've fought with since my early teen years.
