Phew! Good to know the cranky should stop soon!!! I'm on day 3 of a mostly liquid diet and have been told I'm a cranky beotch! I do get 3 oz of lean chicken and a plain green veggie at night though, but I gotta admit, I've been having a protein shake the past 2 nights as the thought of broccoli without even molly mcbutter makes me gag! 9 days to go! woohoo.

Yep, the first 3 days are pretty rough but now it's no big deal at all.

2 weeks and 3 days into pre op and I've lost 15 lbs :)

My 2nd 2 weeks is supposed to be liquid only but I'm still eating small salads and some baked fish (small portion) once a day.

Today is my 2nd day and I've got headaches. I still think this is easier than I expected. I'm excited about seeing the scale go down. Good luck on your surgery! My date is Aug. 27th!!
