Only four more days of this liquid diet. hasnt been too hard until today. for some reason it feels much more difficult. fortunately it is the end of the day and If i can get to sleep I should be ok until tomorrow evening. I am not even worried about sunday for the anticipation should hold me so i really only have three days, tomorow being the hardest apart from fri and sat of course.

it did help to see that I dropped two pounds in two days. I will weight myself either friday or sat morning. I expect to be at goal for surgery if I can hold on.

The coffee is raising my calories each day and i had two potfulls today, that is 100 calories. but it kept me from eating.

I have had my last normal meal ever--five days ago. On Holly's wedding day, actually much before that becasue i was watching my food so carefully. I dont miss it much yet.

My knee already feels better and i am only down 35 pounds. I cant imagine what it will feel like to lose another 70.

I anticipate surgery being easy. after all i have been through, i will be surprised if it isnt. the pain will be interesting, some people have almost none some stay awake to press the morphine drip. Odd.
