Usually, my doctor recommends ten days, but because of when they scheduled my surgery, we're only doing 10. My surgery is 7 days away, and so far, I'm doing okay. I've been keeping my calories under 1000 (the doctor recommends between 800 and 1200, so I think I'm doing good). I have been having cheese, as I feel like I need something to chew on every so often, but it's Cabot's 75 percent less fat cheddar, so there's 60 calories and 2.5 grams of fat per serving. The diet is only suppose to consist of 3 to 4 cans of slim fast per day, no sugar added apple sauce, low fat and low sugar pudding and low sugar yogurt.

I've had a lot of trouble with the slim fast too. The consistency makes me gag with every sip. I figured out that, if I mix the can with nonfat milk, it's much better.

I felt bad, last night was Valentine's day. Of course, my boyfriend and I went out. But I didn't finish anything. I had a little of the appetizer and a little of my meal, and took the rest home for my dad. However, after that, I'm not eating ANYTHING else. And, mind you, I didn't eat ANYTHING that day, as I knew I'd be going out.

Here's to the yogurt I'm eating while I write this.
