I no longer fear death as I have seen hell and survived it. :nervous I started a 10-day pre-op diet on Tuesday and it was hard! You see I am a chef and the accessibility to food and the pretty much unconscious habit of grazing was almost too much to bear. :faint: Also at work there was, on both days now (yesterday and today) the cruellest of menu items that are some of my favourite munchie food in the world.
