Hi Lesleyjean
I started on Sunday. I am finding it reasonable, but I have type 1 diabetes, so although I have reduced my insulin, my blood glucose is still dipping a bit, which is tricky. I'll just need to reduce it a bit more tomorrow!
As you say, I think the secret is to keep busy. I can't believe our ops are NEXT WEEK!
Keep going, we can do this.

I started mine today and have found it a bit of a struggle, seem to be thinking about food constantly but in actual fact I don't feel hungry, am sure it will get better but even if it doesn't it is only 10 more days x

I have now done 13 days of mine, last day tomorrow, surgery Thursday. I found the 1st 2 - 3 days worse, felt tired, a little cold and had a mild headache, but after that I was fine. You'll manage ok, all of you. And just think of the end results!! Keep your goal in sight at all times. xx
