HERE WE GO!

SO Last night I went to one of last few appointments before my surgery in 2 weeks. And I have to start taking Optifast to help not only lose some weight but also to shrink my liver so that the procedure goes smoothly. I can't eat or drink anything but the Optifast shakes, bars, water, sugar free jello and broth. OH yeah and I also cannot DRINK FOR ALMOST A MONTH. This will be my biggest feat. I enjoy drinking wine at home and going out with my friends. It will not be impossible just difficult. I have a handful of events coming up in the next week or so that will prove to be big challenges. No eating or drinking. Dr. Vohra said that I can enjoy my thanksgiving meal but only that one night and NO alcohol! My friends are going to be like wtf?? Stefanie is not eating or drinking.. ?? OKay.. Basically this is it. I have to follow this strict plan for the next few weeks and then December 3rd, Surgery here I come. Its funny I am not at all nervous about it. maybe because I have not yet rationalized what is actually happening or maybe because I have never had surgery before so I don't even know what to feel. I am very excited though, to finally be taking such a BIG committed step to getting a grip on my addiction. I am very hopeful, very happy and I cannot wait. Trust me not being able to drink sucks, not being able to enjoy delicious food for the next 2 weeks sucks. But nothing will match how amazing I will feel in the next couple of months when I lose like 30lbs. I am stoked!! Anyway wish me luck and lets see how it goes...
