At sticking to this pre-op diet. I'm seriously losing my mind over here. It's not necessarily the diet but it's all this **** I'm having to deal with right now on top of the diet (personal life issues, preparing for surgery, paying bills before surgery, etc.) I just keep cheating and feeling horrible, cheating and feeling horrible. I don't understand why I can't just stick to it! I crack under pressure a lot and the stress I'm having to deal with is really getting to me. Oh not to mention I'm PMSing. My boyfriend hates me right now, I've been such a b***h! I just want this surgery to be over with but then at the same time I'm having second thoughts. I'm worried I'm gonna be one of those people that just constantly pushes the limit on food. Ugh I shouldn't even be thinking like this. I DON'T want to be like this. I just have no willpower and it just makes me depressed. Honestly I don't care if I'm fat, I've never had a problem with how I look. I'm getting this surgery for my health. I feel like I should mean more to me and I should take this diet more seriously but yet I just ate fried rice on Sunday. I feel pathetic right now :/

Jeez that was long and I could just keep going! So many thoughts running through my head, May 28th can't come soon enough!

Thank you to anyone who actually takes the time to read this.

I completely relate to this post but do have a problem with being fat and I am also doing this for my health. My surgery is June 18th how did yours go?

It went great! Im not gonna lie I was pretty miserable for the first week but it gets better everyday. I ended up losing 14 pounds on the pre-op diet and as of today I'm down 37 pounds. People are starting to notice and it feels so good! Good luck on your surgery!

I did a 3 week pre op diet 2 shakes and allowed a smart ones meal for dinner. I too could eat a whole pizza by myself and be hungry later. I cheated on my pre op diet a few times- steak and shake twice, Pizza Hut. I told my surgeon and he was not concerned. He said my liver would still shrink because during those three weeks my diet was drastically better than what I normally eat. Don't beat yourself up. I think this whole life change is a huge learning curve.
