Two more weeks.....

Tomorrow I begin two weeks of 5 protein shakes a day.

Total of 800 calories a day and 135 grams of Protein.

I have to tell you...I am so afraid of my ability to drink them 5 times a day for 2 weeks!

In the next two weeks, I will probably lose a few pounds. The purpose of the liquid diet is to shrink the liver, so the surgeon will have more room in the abdominal cavity.

October 26 is the big day! I am having a Roux en Y Gastric Bypass.

This weekend, Jason has lovingly allowed me to eat at my favorite restaurants.

Thursday night, Holden and I went to the State Fair, and we had Fried Butter, Fried Oreos, and a yummy corn dog. Last night I brought home Olive Garden. Fettucini Alfredo.

But that all ends today.

I will use my blog to journal my successes and struggles.

I will publicly list my weight and measurements.

I hope you will celebrate and cheer me on.

Today...

Weight 242 Pounds

Chest 48 inches

Waist 44 inches

Hips 56 inches (Jason lovingly pointed out that that is almost as tall as Holden)

Upper Thigh 31 inches
