On my 2 week pre op liquid diet
Wanting to have something "one last time" is how we got to gain weight and need surgery in the first place. I am not saying this to be harsh. We can justify anything when it comes to eating. I know I sure can. I am not at the liquid diet pre-op stage yet. I know it will be tough, but it will be worth it. Keep going!
