I gave up soda about a month ago!! That was hard.. But now.. not so much... I am on Day 11 Pre-op Diet... My food list consists of: Water, Protein Shakes, Jello, Applesauce and Broth... I sucks!!! Really bad when you are with a bunch of people and you can't eat!!.. Just keep reminding myself just a few days left to go!... But on the bright side... Down 13lbs!!
