Good evening all. Day 3 pre op diet. I really thought I was going to pass out this afternoon! Of course I didn't but just ate a couple of dried prunes. Delicious Went out to eat tonight and had vegetables and rice instead of what I really wanted but it was so nice to eat it, it didnt matter. Distracted myself at home by cleaning the kitchen. This may force me into doing more housework! Drank more liquid today as my face had broken out in a rash and bumps, it's a little better. Visited the mother in law tonight. Not a peep of acknowledgement despite the fact I've lost 19lbs in a month! So funny but sad Don't know what her reaction will be when I start shrinking after the 8th!!! Not doing it for her of course, or even telling her, but people sure do show their true selves at times like this......

Congrats on your progress. Some people need to hit up side the head with a 2x4! LOL

Ha! So true! Thanks

I found it got better after the first 3 days. I've been chewing sugar free gum and loading up on water, and even taking tums or Roland's when the acid in my stomach gets too intense.

The people who see you the most will be the last to notice changes.

Some people don't compliment because they ate jealous that thy don't have the will power to do what you are doing an loosing the weight, keep your head up high an even though it does bother you try an brunch it off. I have a wonderful mother law but she has been trying since day one too convince me NOT to do this that if I can loose on preop then this is all stupid but fact is like I told her I can loose its keeping it off so this is a tool that will help me do this. Lets see what she says after the pounds start dropping an I can keep it off.

Indeed
