It's Official:My surgery date is set!
I got my official surgery date today—March 19! It’s really happening. I also start my pre-op class on March 4, and from there, things get real. The next step? A strict 14-day pre-op diet to shrink my liver. That means: Protein shakes twice a day – 28 shakes total, which means I need to stock up on two cases since they only come in packs of 12. One Healthy Choice meal for dinner – paired with ½ cup of vegetables . Three different vitamins for after surgery – a multivitamin, calcium citrate, and B-complex to keep me on track. I keep reminding myself: I’m doing this for my health. The sacrifices, the discipline, the cost—it’ll all be worth it in the end.
