**i Need Your Support**

[LeahMae 34]

Hi All!!!! I officially start my pre-op diet tomorrow! I have come so long to get to this point... I know most of you have already gone over this hump so I need some advice for a person that loves food. I am able to have 2 shakes during the day and have a piece of Protein ( chicken, fish or steak) and some veggies for dinner. Can someone share some ideas w/ me on what to have for dinner...? Some reipes and also what helped you through this process.

I'm looking ahead and can see myself running in the Spring and positive life changes, but I just wanted to reach out to you all. I read everyday on this forum as if it's my 'New Facebook" LOL!!!! The feedback and thinks that I have learned and the before and after pictures are things that I love about it. Thank you so much in advance!! OH!!! My bday is on Monday too- The big 3-2!

First of all, CONGRATS!!! We will all be here with you on your journey towards a happier, healthier life. Personally, I am almost 3 mos out. I would suggest eating as healthy as you can....such as Van de Kamp's parchment baked tilapia, halibut, or salmon, along with a healthy vegetable. The fish is easy to cook & tasted great! Anyway, best of luck and I know you'll do GREAT!

Yes, I am all cleared. I am out 9 1/2 weeks and down 33 pounds. 10 Was preop. It is not as fast as I thought it would be but I am still happy. I do not eat as well as I should and I do not exerccise. I am working on that though.
