Today is the first day of my pre-op diet. Needless to say I am starving!! To top it all off I have a wedding to go to at 3. I'm praying that The Lord gives me the strength to stay on my plan.

im on day 8 of my liquid diet. I'm loving it. I noticed this morning that im not bloated anymore. Im also averaging about 1 pound per day.

I have edema(retain water) and since my pre op I lost a lot of bloating as well

I'm also really loving it, kbush - for sure sometimes i'm a little grumpy and i really can't stand to have aromatic food around me (my husband has taken to eating most of his meals out of the house) but i feel so much more in control right now, and a lot of my old cravings are gone. i just feel on-fire with this all being the right decision for me.

My husband told me not to cook anymore because the food i cook is nasty...LOL! i'm WAS so used to tasting everything i cooked but now im not. So, Im guessing it does taste a little different.

That is too funny ! I'm recovering at my moms and she made this taco salad and I just went to the back of the house. My mother in law is in town so she's filling the fridge up with food for my husband . Thanks mom!

DAY 10 OF MY PRE-OP DIET! This protein drink tastes better and better everyday. I'm fortunate enough to work alone in the summer and im not influenced to eat and snack. I think i may continue to substitute a protein drink for a meal. BTW is it Thursday yet??? LOL

great news. they changed my op time to 6:30.

I would start tomorrow, rather than today. One day will not make a difference, I cheated on my preop and did fine.

I am 6:30am in thurs too!

Meanwhile my husband just committed the ultimate atrocity. He brought McDonalds home and then fell asleep so there was a quarter pounder in my living room. There was 4 seconds when I thought "I'm just gonna have it" but insist give in. And I didn't want it sitting somewhere teasing me, and since I'm so mad he brought it home I gave it to the dog. Serves him right.
