Sunshine

Well first of all a huge MrsK high five to my new 'followers'.  I want to thank you for joining me, it's very much a honour to have you with me.  Although I'm not much liking the 'followers' title so I've decided to label you all something different.  From now on you shall me named 'MrsK's support Crew' :-)

Today is a ripper day in the land of Melbourne and we are heading to the Dandenongs for a family wedding.  I even shaved my legs!!  First time since May ... DD is having her first sleep over and has been wanting to go for a week now.  DS is coming with us.  We were having both of them looked after but I thought in the end, I'm not drinking so I would rather have him with me.  Not drinking ... :(

I will have a champers for the toasts and one other, a sav blanc with soda.  I don't want to fuck up all the good work I've done so far, and that's 8.9kgs in almost 4 weeks!!  (MrsK gives MrsK her own high five)  Food on the other hand, I shall have my trusty bars with me.  It's going to be REALLY hard not to have a bit here and a bit there, but surgery is in 3 sleeps and I'm not jeopardizing that for anything.  I actually asked Geoffrey if I could have one last blow out before Tuesday and he said 'no'.  He has on 2 occasions, had to close a patient up because he was unable to perform the procedure.  And then talking to them afterwards discovered that they hadn't stuck to the pre-op diet and had also had a massive splurge the day before surgery.

The idea of doing Optifast 2, 4 or 6 weeks prior to surgery is so that the liver shrinks.  He is then able to lift it easier and get to the stomach.  It all sounds a bit gory but imagine waiting years for a surgery like this only to wake up after an anesthetic and be told it couldn't be done because you didn't follow the guidelines.  That would be devastating.  So for the sake of a party pie and a couple of dimmy's I'm not going there.  I will savour my champers.  My one and only.

For some odd reason I have woken up today feeling just that wee bit excited.  Maybe because the sun in shining.

Squeezes :-)
