My two week pre-op diet starts now, 1,000 calories a day for the next two weeks. I hope having done a 99 hour water only fast and a five day juice fast in the past will remind me that this is possible. Surgery is scheduled for August 12th and I so look forward to having the life back that I once enjoyed. I've been reading your stories for a few months and I find you all inspirational, in your successes and your struggles. Blessings to all of you.
