After a several week detour into breast cancer land (I don’t have cancer, but spent several weeks in limbo before they excised and examined the suspicious tissue), I have a date: June 28!
I start my pre-op diet next Monday. It’s pretty generous. The main constraint is eating <20g of carbs a day. No calorie or fat limit, but a high protein goal. I’ll miss the carbs a lot, but I’ve been eating modestly low carb for a few months now ( aside from my alcohol intake) and my weight has been creeping downward. Once I give up the last carbs and the drinks, my weight should be ready to plummet post-op! I am so excited—this feels like the opportunity of a lifetime!
I don’t post much but read religiously. It’s been a beacon of hope while my journey was delayed. Thank you all for being wonderful.
