one week to go, already lost 14 pounds on pre op diet. hunger part not too bad, just lack of energy and this florida heat is zapping me.

Keep up the good work on the pre op diet. 7 days will be gone before you know it. The Florida heat can zap your energy. I'm surprised how much better I am coping with it this year being 40lbs lighter.

Full steam ahead! Your weight loss rate will slow down, I'm afraid - much of what you lost that first week was probably the water that hangs out with the starch and fat in the liver; supposedly, as that's broken down with dieting, the water is released. You'll continue to lose at a good rate, but from now on it'll all be fat...

Great job so far - keep it up. Make sure you are getting plenty of protein (for energy) and water !!
