So since the first of March, the food thing is NOT happening. I have been doing liquids only for the past 9 days..mostly water and we all know that water does not contain any good nutrients....I have since driven to Saskatchewan to see my mother in law who is dying in the hospital and now I have driven down to the bottom of Alberta to my surgeon. He is doing a scope tomorrow morning and the assumption is that I have a stricture. Lets hope thats what it is and a quick fix. We are currently sitting in a hotel room looking out the window at a massive snow and wind storm. Maybe after my scope in the morning we will be staying in the hotel for another day to wait our the storm. I can probably use the rest. I can't explain to you what its like to not eat anything for almost 10 days and to rely on water only - expecially while you are travelling and have to sit with your family in restaurants. A few crying spells later, and I am still doing ok, with NO REGRETS. I will update how the procedure goes tomorrow. I have probably lost more weight...but this certainly isn't the way I wanted to do it!
