Have you lost any more weight? Two pounds in nine days seems so little. Sent from my SM-T817V using the BariatricPal App

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting on a forum of any kind. I want to make sure I am doing things right, and looking for help and support. I have done a lot of things on my own, without success; now I want to give myself the best chance of success by reaching out to others. My two-week pre-op diet ends on Sunday. It has been a real struggle, mostly smelling the foods others are preparing and eating. I also had to help prep for a birthday party, I even had to bake the cupcakes! It was torture the entire time. I really had a tough time taming my urge to eat. The first week of my pre-op I was allowed to eat 4 Oz of lean meat. I tried to teach myself to chew my food more thoroughly than is my tendency. Anyone have any good advice on how to make sure you do this? I know I have a while before I will even be able to consume solids, but this will be one of my bigger issues since I have always been more of a "mash, mash, swallow" type. Another big issue of mine is that I am not very good at prepping. I have a tendency to go for convenience. Any convenient food items you can purchase and stick in your car or purse? That's it for now, wish me luck on Monday! Sent from my SM-T817V using the BariatricPal App
