I just got my date for April 25th. OMG I'm really starting to freak!!!

I'm only worried about taking off the 10lbs because the surgeon has said she will send me home if I don't lose it. I just don't understand how I'm supposed to go from eating everything to eating nothing!!! The weight is supposed to be gone to help with the liver. Something about it's easier to remove the fat from it's surface!! YUCK! This is my first night on here and I'm so glad I've found it. I really think this is going to help me before and after the surgery. I'll keep you posted as to when my surgery date is.

I'm now waiting for my surgery date. I'm so nervous now I can't even stand it. My dr has told me I need to lose 10lbs before my surgery date or she'll send me home. How am I supposed to lose this weight? If It was easy, then I wouldn't need the surgery! Any help for me?
