At Last!

I finally have a surgery date. August 10th. I start my liquid diet today. 4 low carb protein drinks & 2 cups of fruit juice per day plus unlimited sugar free clear liquids. I expect the first few days to be hard but after that it shouldn't be too bad. I weighed 295 this morning on our scale.

I just realized I haven't told about my new doctor. The weight loss clinic in Herrin IL made arrangements with My New Self in Des Peres Hospital in St Louis. I chose Dr Norbert Richardson as my surgeon and went for an appointment about a month ago.

Yesterday I got the letter okaying the surgery and set up the date. Things will move quickly now. I go for pre-op testing on August 3rd, and will learn then what time I have to be at the hospital
