I am really hoping that I'll get a phone call or an email telling me I've been approved early for surgery, but probably won't happen.
I still have the two medically supervised weight loss visits with the nutrionists and I have been reducing how much I eat each day. Starting today, I'm getting the lowest calorie level lunch and getting protein only for dinner from Diet Gourmet. Starting Friday, no dinner, just lunch. I'm still having a bit of a problem with food in the evening, but I have been able to put a limit on how much I eat. Just wish it was a lower limit.
I start out with a Slim-Fast shake and try to alternate between shakes and bars. I figure I'll reduce the bars as I get closer too.
My next weight loss visit is a week from Thursday, and at that point I think I'll go with Optifast and go with a liquid diet as much as possible. The point is to lose as much weight as possible -- like I'm going to get my BMI under 40 any time soon -- and to get my stomach smaller, all of which will help the surgery.
