So I am 9 days out from surgery and have been on the preop (3 meal replace Optifast, one piece of fruit, 2 cups vegies) for 8 days now. I am doing well, haven't gone off it and have lost about 5kgs (11pound) so far on it! It is getting easier though my tummy does growl a bit from time to time. I just tell it to shut up and deal with it. I seems to be working.:thumbup: A work colleague decided to heat up their lunch and eat it RIGHT near me today and it was some Thai dish that smelled AWESOME :smile2: and my tummy started up. I went and made my shake....not so tasty but I stayed strong. Appt with the surgeon tomorrow and preop nurse Friday! It's happening! :tongue2:
