On July 11th, 2011, I will undergo radical surgery to change my life. I am having a sleeve gastrectomy performed. During this laparoscopic surgery, around 75% of my stomach will be removed, creating a “sleeve” or banana shape organ in place of my current stomach. Effectively, this will limit the amount of food that I will be able to eat to an entrée size meal. Permanently. This blog is my journey as I literally shrink.

One last thought for today...
This pre-operative diet is like saying to an athlete...
In 2 weeks we are going to have to amputate both your legs. You will never walk, run, skip or prance again. So if you wouldn't mind taking a seat now, that would be great.
