I started my Pre- opt diet today and it’s been SOOOOOOOOOOO HARD! I am currently doing the 2 meal replacements a day and one small meal plan. Today was my departments Holiday party and they had tons of great amazing foods/ cocktails that I really wanted to eat/drink! I opted for some fresh greens with 2 tbs of feta, veggies, two slice of lean turkey and I had a cookie. I feel ok but this is going to be extremely challenging especially during the holidays. I have 3 major events to attend and they all involve food. I really need to keep positive !

Hey all I am also very new to this site and I’m learning how to maneuver my way around it. Today I met with the surgeon for the first time and my surgery was set for Dec 28th 2011. I have so many mixed emotions, I feel that my life is about to change and I don’t know what the outcome maybe, I have been over weight all my life and being thin seems like the solution to all of my troubles but sometime I wonder if this surgery is really going to make me totally happy. Part of me feels guilty that i have to undergo a surgical procedure to conquer my biggest obstcale wieght loss.
