Got My Date...but...

Ok, so my surgeons office called today and scheduled me for Nov. 19th. I have been on the pre-op diet for 5 weeks and have lost 35 pounds. I still have two more weeks until surgery and am sure I can lose the other 15 pounds the doctor wants. Well my surgeon called me tonight and wants to push it out even further. I broke down jn tears because I don't think I have it in me to do the pre-op for four more weeks. I just want this done already.

Mel, I am so sorry to hear about this. When did you start this journey? I ask because I began in August and still don't have a date, still going to a NUT visit, still waiting. It is hard to continue to diet for another month, but maybe you won't have to do it as intensely as you've done in the past.
