Anyway.. I can say after yesterday's pre-op meeting/appointment I feel a little more ready. Perhaps because it is becoming "REAL" March 12 is 12 days away... HOLY SHIT!! lol.... So I am on day 4 of my liver shrinking diet and what can I say.. I am HUNGRY but am pushing thru it. They told us yesterday that is it not a test of will or to lose weight before surgery, they are doing this to actually shrink my liver. Test shown that they can actually shrink your liver by up to 2cm in 2 weeks. The surgeon needs to get under my liver to reach the stomach and if they shrink my liver it will give the surgeon more room to do his "MAGIC". They told a story of a woman who confessed on the day of surgery that the night before she had a "last meal" of steak and potatoes and they had to reschedule her surgery. I am learning a lot and they said by having this surgery I am adding 20 years back to my life.. 20 YEARS!!!
