Hi guys,

I've not said much around here but have lurked for a while. I have set my surgery date of August 18th and I'm feeling pretty good about it so far. I was a little nervous at first but now feeling better. My big question though is did anyone else feel like they wanted to eat everything in sight and mind when they found out they were having surgery? The nutrition classes have just made me "hungry" and crave things that I shouldn't. I start the pre-op diet next Monday and I've started trying different shakes and easy crock-pot style meals. Any tips???:scared2:

I have been eating every thing in sight lately because come tomorrow i will be starting my pre-op diet... Good Luck to you

I actually Gain weight looking at food and i finally dropped the 3 lbs i gained going out to cheesecake factory a few weeks back....so no im sticking to it ....lol

I ate a lot of stuff right before starting my diet but once it came time to start my diet I was at peace with it. It doesn't bother me that I can't eat and it doesn't bother me that I may have to give up some of my favorite foods. I just want to be healthy again.

As for shakes Syntrax nectar makes a chocolate Truffle and Cappucino Latte that I could live off of! In fact I'm sulking today b/c I ordered a container of each and it won't be here until Wednesday. Now I'm stuck with yucky shakes until then:(

I will probably not be having my surgery until around December because I have to do the 6 month nutrition appointments. But i can imagine I would be pigging out right before i started the liquid diet! It sort feels like your "last meal".. haha
