orionburn 1,024 Posted January 19, 2017 Figured another new guy would join in. I'm on Day #9. First few days were rough. I think days 3 & 4 were the hardest, but once I got over that hump it hasn't been near as bad as I thought it would be. For the past couple of weeks (when I was eating regular food) I would substitute some meals with chicken bullion and a couple of saltine crackers. Personally that helped me mentally prepare a bit more for it. I'm down almost 10 pounds since I started last week so it's paying off. Less than a week to go until my surgery.

orionburn 1,024 Posted January 19, 2017 @orionburn Welcome! Reading your post just gave me hope. I'm on day 3 and feeling a bit out of sorts...I just have to keep trying to push through! What day is your surgery? Thanks for the welcome I go in on the 25th. I know it's an entirely different journey on the other side, but will be glad when this part is finally over with. There will be ups & downs, but hang in there. I honestly am used to it now and while I miss the act of eating I'm not "mourning" like I was this past weekend. There were some nights where it was like screw it I'm going to bed because I didn't want to think about it anymore...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zizi_tops 60 Posted January 19, 2017 @bill1130 I am on my second shake for the day and I did have half a yogurt (as per my plan) but I am not allowed to take any pills pre-op so I haven't had any Vitamins in 3 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
