Figured another new guy would join in. I'm on Day #9. First few days were rough. I think days 3 & 4 were the hardest, but once I got over that hump it hasn't been near as bad as I thought it would be. For the past couple of weeks (when I was eating regular food) I would substitute some meals with chicken bullion and a couple of saltine crackers. Personally that helped me mentally prepare a bit more for it. I'm down almost 10 pounds since I started last week so it's paying off. Less than a week to go until my surgery.

I'm on day 3 now I hope the next 2 day go by fast well I hope the next 2 weeks go by fast

Thanks for the welcome I go in on the 25th. I know it's an entirely different journey on the other side, but will be glad when this part is finally over with.

There will be ups & downs, but hang in there. I honestly am used to it now and while I miss the act of eating I'm not "mourning" like I was this past weekend. There were some nights where it was like screw it I'm going to bed because I didn't want to think about it anymore...lol

@bill1130 I am on my second shake for the day and I did have half a yogurt (as per my plan) but I am not allowed to take any pills pre-op so I haven't had any Vitamins in 3 days.

@orionburn Wow you're almost there! I'm just a few days after you, mine is scheduled for the 31st.

I know, my kids are spending the weekend at grandmas, so I plan on sleeping the whole time! LOL

Oh that's different I was told to make sure I keep getting my vitamins in
