Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Saturday 9/23/17
We booked through the cruise line with a Friends and Family discount (friend works for the cruise line). Two days ago, the cruise line called asking us if we would give up our balcony cabin for an inside (so they can re-sell the balcony at retail price) in exchange for refunding our cruise fare (except for the port fees, which are required).
We'd already paid for everything ahead of time, so we basically will get a huge check back after the cruise! Free cruise!

Today is day 4 of my pre-op Optifast diet.
I had a really hard time getting the shakes fown until today, we're supposed to drink 4 packets a day (900 cal) but I couldn't get more than two in. I was lightheaded, exhausted, headachey, nauseous and very hungry.
Today I picked up some flavour extracts and it has been better - I'm happy to say I consumed all four shakes plus some broccoli boiled in chicken broth. I'm feeling so much better!
17 more days to go...
