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.

I couldn't agree with you more Royalrags ~ It was hell going through those two weeks, but now that I am 3 weeks post op I see why the surgeon requires it. My mental attachment to food is gone, I look at it in an all different way. This week I started on soft phase of food and boy am I enjoying it, but it doesn't take much to fill me up and give that feeling of satisfaction. How are you doing so far post-op?

Kim I hit my two week post OP today This surgery has been super easy I almost have to check if I got it done but my port is definitely there so I know I did!!! LOL... Today starts the Mushy/Pureed foods I love refried Beans and mashed Potatoes so I think I should be able to survive for the next two weeks adding yogurt etc.. to the mix! I am extremely excited about all the new changes to come! I get my first fill on the 17th what about you?

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.

That is hilarious!!! Bad Dad Dog treats!!! You know I feel your pain I had to go to Miami three days before my surgery for business! There was so much activity at the hotel because of the Championship Win, food and drinks were in abundance and I wanted to CRY!!! So instead I retreated to the room and mixed my Protein drink with water!! I was very bummed!!! LOL

Day 2 here with my pre-op diet! I'm really hoping I will be where you guys are at soon because it is a little stressful! I'm not so much hungry, but more used to eating, its all in my brain!! My surgery is the 22nd. SUPER excited!

Hang in there the first few days were the hardest, it gets easier.
