I can't be exactly sure, but I believe I've lost 17 pounds in the last 8 days.  I didn't weigh myself on my scales when I started my pre op no food diet, but the Doc's scale said I was at 285.7.  Today, MY scale tells me I'm at 268.  Now, that may not be exactly right - but it's a heck of an imporovement whatever the actual weight really is.  I'm not hungry - really - but I am almost always aware of my current state... I HAVEN'T EATEN ANYTHING FOR 8 DAYS!  I'm sore - and I get tired pretty easily.  I went to the grocery store today - probably shouldn't  have...  but I really ran out of gas about half way into the journey.
My stomach is really really bruised. It would probably make a beautiful modern art painting.. so many reds, purpals and dark blues... holy smoke it looks ominous.  I posted a question about it on the forum - got some good feedback. 
The holidays are here - and I wish sometime I could snack like I always used to this time of year.   But, I am very glad to have do this thing.  I am wondering what I"ll look like 100 pounds lighter.  I hope that it doesn't age me lots.  I hope my skin dissolves.  I"m happy that I haven't taken a dibetes pill in 4 days - and my blood sugar is within normal range.
