I can't really believe this happened....

I received a phone call today from Dr. Aart's office asking me if I want to move my surgery up to January 6th instead of January 19th. Of course I do!!!! Good bye turkey dinner but very happy to have my surgery moved forward.

I'll be on the loser's bench soon.

good for you!!!

congratulations on having your surgery date bumped up sooner :) not much longer now 

Set some turkey aside in your freezer - come the end of January, throw it in a blender!Hahaha! Good for you!

You may want to ask her (unless already nixed) if you can have a little dinner.  When I was on Optifast diet years ago - I was allowed to have a small piece of turkey, broccoli, carrots. After all, it's about shrinking your liver. Maybe you could start Opti a couple of days early. Normally I wouldn't recommend bargaining w/ the medical team, but they could surprise you!

I say turkey dinner - shmerky dinner.  How many have you had in your lifetime?  It's only food it will always be there when you are ready.  Optifast the holidays away - no worries about playing that age old game of trying to shed extra holiday pounds.

Good call to go for the early date...Santa says you've been good this year 

Congrats on the great news. 

As for turkey there will be another time for that in the future 

take your turkey and freeze it so that protein you can enjoy once you can eat solids.  

Good luck

January 6th is a very good day!! That will be my 2 year surgivesary! All the best in your journey! Make every moment count! !

How are you doing Crystal?  I miss seeing you on the forum.  Hard to believe it will be 2 years for you.  I will be 3 years February 27th!  Hope all is well.  Take care
