Working Hard

May 28, 2009

Well I'm plugging away... trying to get more of my weight off before my surgery on June 22. I'm living in constant fear now that my surgeon will not be able to do the surgery. I've begun making myself exercise in the evenings and BOY does it hurt. Now the chronic back pain that I've dealt with for over a year now is in FULL force and my knees are "unhappy" too. I'll deal with it. I can't allow any excuses. I need to get more weight off.

My surgeon never said anything to me about a liquid diet (although everyone keeps telling me that he typically does this for people with my BMI range)... so I'm a bit confused about this. Regardless, I'm going to put myself on a liquid diet as soon as the protein shakes and such come in the mail. I'm hoping they will arrive today. It's through a company called Smartforme. Ever heard of it? They sell products specifically made for bariatric patients (pre-opt and post-opt). I'll let ya know how it goes.

Any other suggestions of how to get fat out of your liver before surgery?? I'm open to anything I need to do.. no matter how much it hurts.
