Pre-op diet started

Well today starts a interesting new two months.  I'm not required to loose a certain amount of weight prior to surgery but my doctor would like me to get off anything extra that i can.  So today i start a meal replacement diet using a protein shake once a day for the first week and then i will be switching to 2 shakes / day during week 2.  This is going to really suck, but i figure when it comes to week 2 ill just substitute my breakfast and lunch because i would like to have a good dinner at the end of the day.  I will blog later during the week to discuss progress, not looking forward to lunch..hopefully these shakes taste good
