Hi QueenBeeBee please excuse me you were my first message sent as I just joined now. I literally decided on Tuesday to have surgery. I phoned Dr room and they told me to start optifast liquid diet straight away. Tuesday I had all good intentions, had my shake for breakfast, by lunch, I was like "I can't do this" and gave into temptation. Likewise today I dropped off the bandwagon at lunch but picked it up for dinner. I can see I'm going to seriously struggle.
