Day 3 of pre-op diet.

Things are going much better than I expected on the pre-op diet. Today is day 3 and I'm surviving just fine. My pre-op diet consists of 3 protein shakes a day and up to 250 calories a day from low glycemic vegies, nothing else but water. 2 days done and 19 to go! When I think of doing this for 3 weeks it can get overwhelming so I'm focusing on hour by hour.

I'm generally 80% excited about my future, 10% nervous for the surgery and 10% nervous about my success. But overall I think I had given up hope of ever getting slim and healthy. Now I have hope and excitement for the first time in as long as I can remember. I'm so happy to be rid of the daily mental struggle to loose weight battling the daily dissapointment and discouragement from myself. Emotionally I'm 100lbs lighter already with the decision to get the band.
