I have 45 minutes to eat regular food. Tomorrow I start my all shakes liquid pre-op diet. Then I know after surgery I won't be eating regular foods for a while. I promised myself that midnight tonight would be the start of thus new me. So I have 45 minutes to eat something yummy and bad for me what would you have?

Nothing - your journey began a little earlier than you expected.

I am almost 11 months out and can eat almost anything I did before - minus the HUGE portions. Do not look at this as a death sentence but a learning opportunity on how you deal with food both emotionally and physically.
