Day 1...And Were Off!

So in the middle of the morning shortly after Midnight I drank my last Orange Crush and scarfed down a good helping of fried rice. I will enjoy once again but not anytime soon.

I began my 14 day liquid only diet. In stead of shoving in burgers and fries you will see protein shakes and sugar free jello. You will be more likely to find me at the GNC store than in the drive thru line for the next several weeks to months. My hope is someday to be seen in both locations.

Which is why I have chose the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. The surgery should allow me the ability to eat anything I want, just in moderation.

I will have another post to talk more in detail about what is the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy.

So here goes...The numbers tell the story. Many have suggested they didn't think I was "that" overweight to need surgery. I suspect that is their way of being nice and supportive. But hey don't worry I am not blind...

I AM FAT!

Weight 314
BMI 44.4 (Class 3 Morbid Obesity)
Neck 18"
Chest 51" (What cup size would I be?)
Waist 58.5" (DAMN!!)
Pant Size 46

So there it is.

What is the first step? I must get through 14 days with nothing but liquids. Judy will be here doing everything she can to keep me on track. It won't be easy on her and I only hope she forgives me once it is all over!

I plan to update near daily.

Below are the "Before" pictuers. I only hope there is an "After" coming soon! These were taken Day 1 of Pre Op Diet.
