I handled it well. The smell was yummy but I sat with my salad and ate that.
I know there's an end to this torture of starvation. I hate dieting!
That's what put me in this position.
I have a daily talk to myself in the mirror. Sounds corny but I'm listening.

Well, now I feel I'm on the wagon. I received my supply of VLCD shakes
yesterday. Had all my pre op doctor, dietitian, nurse intern and anaesthetist.

I've had my first shake this morning. Wasn't bad, I got banana flavour and I can add berries etc. I bought salad veggies and soft fruits.
