1st day of the rest of my life!

Ok so yesterday I went to Manchester to meet the WLS surgery group I met with Steve and Wendy who were both lovely, anyway after a weigh in and discussion I am going to go private I have paid my money and my op date should be around the 16th I was told this morning as my Surgeon has agreed to operate but at the Alex and not Highfield as previously planned. 
He wants me to spend a night in HDU which is understandable and safer for me to have a close eye kept on me for the night.  Oh I am so looking forward to losing all this weight, Wendy reckons I could have lost 10 stone by Christmas, that in itself will be a major achievement as I cant remember the last time I weighed that weight I must have been around 17 I think.

So this morning I started my No Carb, Fat free diet to shrink my liver, I kicked off with a slim fast chocolate shake, thanks to my new found friend Vicky who had this operation at the same hospital 5 weeks ago, she sent me the diet sheet until I get my own which will probably be tomorrow in the post.  

So now I am off to make myself a chicken oxo for my dinner, it will all be worth it in the end and I cant wait!  Today is the 1st day of the rest of my life!  

I have only told very close family that I am having this operation so its going to be wonderful seeing peoples faces as I lose more and more weight lol.. Below is a copy of my diet sheet.
