I am due for surgery in 2 days!! In Mississauga ontario. I really am surprised how hard the pre op has been. I have to admit I did eat a bananna. It was so good. But besides that I have plugged on. Lots of water, crystal light. I have been having only 2 protein shakes and 250 cal worth of veggies. I haven't been able to drink 3 shakes. My hardest time is sitting around watching tv at night. That is when I want to eat, eat, eat. On the bright side so far I have lost 17 pounds.
