Five days into the pre-op liquid (-6lbs) and feeling a little better, headaches are easing up. Some of the comments are making me a little nervous. I am allowed a very small meal, once a day for the first seven days; which I do look forward to. I am dreading the last seven days of complete liquids, however; I think I'm in the zone now. Ten more days and I will be on the losers bench. Best wishes to all my fellow sleepers.
