Pre- Op Liquid Diet - Week One

I started my liquid diet a day early to get a jump on it.  Plus, I didn't want to start on a Monday, I felt that would be too overwhelming.  The first four days were the most difficult.  Thursday was definitely easier and it's progressively becoming less torturous to be around food.  I know that I am more grumpy towards the end of the day (2pm on).  I have little to no energy right now, my doctor says that will change after the surgery.  I went out last night with friends for dinner.  I had water and they ate actual food.  It wasn't nearly as miserable as I thought it might be.  Looking forward to Thanksgiving - that's when I should be able to start eating real food again.
