When is your surgery> HAve you tried limiting your carb intake? HOw about substituting any of your meals for a protein shake or even a slim fast shake? I was hard for me too. BUt having more protein in your diet helps keep you full longer.

It is hard, I have been pretty successful with the plan my nutritionist puts all the patients on. Everything you eat should be in the single digits for fat and sugar. I stopped drinking soda and sweet tea. Good luck!
