DIET IS #1200 DAILY CALORIES..I MESSED UP AND ATE 1638 CALORIES ...ADVISE ON HOW TO STAY FOCUSED...MY DIET REALLY ISNT SUPPOSED TO START UNTIL MARCH 7TH...BUT DECIDED TO GIVE IT A TRY NOW. ADVISE PLEASEEEE ?

I'm assuming it's your pre-surgery diet. Keep in mind that the purpose behind it is to make your surgery easier - both for the surgeon, and for YOU! When you feel hungry, drink some water instead. It can help you feel more satisfied.

So how did your appointment with the surgeon go?

So how did your appointment with the surgeon go?

it went good. i made it in time after my accident to go to my pre op appt. it has been such a struggle to deal with so much but i think im making it through. how are you doing?

The first few days are the hardest. Don't give up! Do ANYTHING to distract yourself from thinking about food, dieting, eating. Go for a walk, clean the house, learn a hobby, go walk the mall, get lost on Pinterest, shop for pretty smelly things, window shop at a store you can't wait to buy smaller clothes in, get your nails done... do ANYTHING to distract yourself.

ARE YOU AS EXCITED AS I AM?? WOOOHHOOOO

It is super hard being on any diet. I think that everyone on this site can relate. Maybe you can start by cutting back on certain foods that you know you eat often, that are high in calories. Prior to surgery,I wanted to start off on a healthier mindset about food. I started with "baby steps."

I gave up french fries and ice cream. Because I ate them often, I noticed a change right away.Next, I cut down on the bread and pastas. I lost weight without struggling, or feeling much hunger, because I didn't stop eating; I just changed what I ate. I was a chronic snacker. If I can do it, anyone can!

You will be fine. Just stick with your plan, and add healthier choices. I had a lot of string cheese... Just find your go-to snack that is good and satisfying for you. And increase your protein. Good luck.

Well, my surgeon took into account the 24 pounds I lost in the last year so I'm at my surgery goal weight! I need to finish up nutrition and mental health appointments and I can schedule surgery!!!!!
