Day 9, Down 18 pounds

[Its-time 49]

I had all my pre-surgery testing done yesterday. In just over a week, I somehow lost 18 pounds. Crazy, but lets face it eating 500 calories a day of Soup and shakes is quite different from what my body was normally used to.

The first 4-5 days was pretty bad. Honestly, I was dreaming of Wendy's, McDonalds, Burger King, Nathans, etc...

Day 9, feeling pretty good. Tomorrow I have my final sign off with my main doctor and surgery next Wednesday.

Get used to being surprised on losses (none quite like that, though). And keep up the good work!!
