Surgery in 4 days

Jan 18, 2009

Well I'm on day 7 of my pre-op liquid diet and have already lost at least 15 pounds.  I haven't weighed myself in a couple of days but the last time I did I was down 12 pounds since my PAT's one week prior.  I know I've lost more weight since then.  The whole liquid diet thing isn't so bad.  The anticipation of it is much worse than actually doing it.  The protein shakes really help. 
The worst part of this is that my family, even though they have been trying to be supportive, have been bringing some of my favorite foods into the house.  Chinese, pizza and apple pie.  I finally had to beg them to stop it.  I can't believe I'm gone 7 days without a piece of food passing my lips.  Just liquids. 
The scale has made it easier to handle, that's for sure.
