I am scheduled for surgery here in Memphis, Dec 15th this Saturday. Im not worried about the surgery part of it but I am nervous about the new life style. I want to lose the weight and need to lose it for Health reasons. So much of our social life revolves around food and drink. I am hoping I can cope with the new healthy choices I will need to make. 3 weeks of no solid food sounds like Hell to a 300 pound man.
