Today I start my weight loss countdown. I have to chose a point in time from which to base my goals. Today seemed logical. It is the first day of my 6 week pre-op liquid diet. I will weigh myself every Tuesday morning and report it in this blog. I hope to see this number counting down in the coming weeks.

Speaking of the Optifast diet, it wasn’t too bad. I found most of the food tasty. The soup is probably the least tasty of all. I especially like the chocolate powdered drink mix blended with ice cubes and water to a milkshake consistency.
