I'm doing my 6m diet before I finally get approved to have my surgery and trying to do all the reading and researching before I have the surgery of the best foods and exercising before I go thru this journy. I would love to really try and loose weight on my own before I have the surgery just to proove to myself that I can do it, but I only have this mo and next mo when my 6mo are up and I'm scared next week when I get weighed in that I've not lost. Not that I haven't tried, but my exercising is the hardest thing to change and add to my day. My biggest worry is that I can't proove to myself that I can't even loose 10pounds on my own. I want the surgery and focus is to know what to eat before so what I do eat after my surgery is good intake not bad but also the habit of exercising which is best in the morning. If anyone knows what I'm going thru....I would love to hear from you...

I am looking at Premier Bariatric (Dr. Teele) to do my surgery in Dayton Ohio. I know a lot of people of talked about the pre op diet...can anyone give me an idea of what type of diet they are doing before hand. I know its liquid but are you eating protein bars too or what? Thank you!
