Wow! Reading this was like I wrote it myself. I too am also new to this board with a surgery date of March 31st, with a start date in August as well! I actually started my pre-op liquid diet on Sunday. I too am having the gastric bypass. This liquid diet is one of the hardest things I have had to do. Keep your eye on the prize is what I have to keep telling myself every day. Glad to know I am not the only one feeling this way and slipping up on the first day or two. Finding this board has greatly helped me make it these first few days. When I have that urge to want to eat or I get stressed, I come here and read. (This is my first post on here though.) I also started journaling too when I think I am hungry or if I get stressed and all of sudden I feel better and don't have that sudden urge to EAT! I'm so looking forward to this new chapter in my life and my chance to be a better mother to my son. Best of luck to you on your journey as well! We can get through this Just take it one day at a time!
