Well I've started my 5 day pre-op diet and I am really hungry:) My surgery is July 10th and I know that this is important so I will follow it to the T, I will not cheat. I have so much support with this. My husband, 3 sisters and a friend, wow, how much love I have. I appreciate all the support that they have given me. To be able to talk about this with them has been great and has helped me release some of the nervousness. This is only the first official day so we will see how the rest of this time goes.

    Awesome! You"ll probably lose 10-15 pounds in five days. hunger is just inyour mind. Pretty soon you will treat eating like getting gasoline. You can still love food but in a different way. I am thirty five days post Op and I have lost 55 pounds. You can do it!!! You have all the support and thats half the battle!

    You can do it! I had 2 weeks pre-op diet and lost 20.8 lbs. The first 2-3 days were very hard, but then it got way easier. Having a great support system is super helfpul too!
