So, I'm on day eight of the pre-op diet. Overall I guess I'm ok. I'm just GRUMPY! Not being able to eat without restriction really sucks. Basically, I'm hungry. I mean, if I was able to do this I wouldn't be in this situation, but I know I have to stick to it. Then theres that little voice that says "see, you really could lose weight all along - you really are taking the easy way out". Of course, if I could drink a few champagne spritzers I could think up something really witty to say back.

It doesn't help that I have only told a handful of people and one of them actually gave me that all knowing penetrative look over my salad the other day. I could tell she was biting the inside of her cheek to keep from saying something when she asked me how much weight I had lost. She lives on WW and is very satisfied there. I'm happy for her and she does well. She doesn't understand that just because thats a wonderful fit for her it didn't work as well for me. I don't know why I feel like I have to justify myself to a skinny person. What was I expecting?

Just six more days. Hopefully I don't wake up from surgery hungry.
