I'm officially a week from having RNY. Over the last week I've been on the pre-op diet (protein shake for breakfast/lunch, fruit as snacks, protein/veggy dinner). Im doing great...that was until I smelled a wonderful yet familar aroma coming from my co-workers office next door, McDonald's fries...OMG! The struggle is REAL!

I haven't done the Optifast diet yet. I can only suggest keeping your eye on the prize. That's my plan when I get to that stage. Good luck!

i'm on day 7 of my 2 week pre op diet. i'm only allowed 5 shakes a day, i would kill for real food right now but i keep telling myself that it'll all be worth it in the end! the food smells are the hardest, but you've come this far, just keep headstrong, we're all in this together
