I'm kind of scared!!!! I haven't been afraid, but I am now! I'm 44 and weight 240lbs! Time to fix me! I haven't done very well with my pre-op diet is that an indication of how I am going to do after surgery? I emotionally eat and going through some very messed up life issues. wish me luck!!

Oh, any tips on food journals? An online tracker??

Good luck with your surgery hope all goes well

I'm scheduled for surgery on December 9th. I started my pre-op liquid diet today. Not too hard yet but just thinking about no food worries me. I want this so bad so I will do the work to get there. Just remember if you don't shrink your liver they might not do the surgery. And if you don't practice eating like this now, you may end up not losing like you want to. Good luck with your surgery and stay focused. You can do this!

I found it is so much of a mind set. I did pretty well on my liquid pre op diet but I did cheat. Once I saw it wasn't going to kill me I handled it pretty well. I never did think I was starving. Now post op and eating cream of wheat, dressing, yogurt, mashed taters. I'm glad thanksgiving is over. Now I can concentrate on low carbs and high protein and do what I'm supposed to do.

I'm having surgery the 1st as well and I am scared too. I have never had surgery before so I'm kind of freaking out. The Pre-op diet is hard but I'm down 16lbs from it.

I am about 3 weeks out from surgery, and I am freaking out too! I am excited, but I also feel a lot of anxiety. You can do it! We all can!!!

As for food tracker, I use the app My Fitness Pal. It's really helpful!!

Mine's on December 8th and I've been on the pre-op diet for six days now. It's actually been easier than I expected (and I didn't ever think it'd be too difficult).

I use My Fitness Pal, too.

My surgery is December 2nd. I'm getting nervous, and also very excited. I have done okay on my pre-op, I have been keeping myself very busy and it seems to help.
