Glad to see you are pumped and having fun - Congratulations and it will be the best decision you made! Reach out and ask this place is loaded with success stories and knowledge - FYI don't forget water!

Thanks everyone. Day 1 was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I did not crave food. Day 2 may be another story as we get catered breakfast/lunch tues-th at work. Lucky for me, the food is downstairs and I am upstairs.

I also have a headache today (as expected) but in all I am still pumped.

Yep! I'm on day 7. I just keep crossing each day off and say "I'm one day closer". I have the same diet too! All I know is that after this is over, I never want to even SEE another Propel Water or zero Vitamin water!!! 😆

You are doing great! 14 days is a looooong preop fast...

[Chardonnay40 153]

Day 4. First day I craved food. Catered lunch today was a taco bar [emoji849] My focus is Nov 18 so I made it through. The broth today tasted like a roasted juicy chicken lol

I am tired but inside I'm pumped lol.
