I am struggling with trying to lose weight before my surgery. It's like since I mad the decision to have the surgery I'm hungry all the time! I need help to make better meal choices

First Welcome! Maybe you could try focusing on the things you will be able to do instead of what you are giving up. Your mind can be an ally but sometimes it is a distraction. I made a list of all the things I was looking forward to doing (running with my husband) or or not doing (needing a seat belt extender on airplanes) Ended up with over 20 things. I read it whenever I got discouraged and most of the time it helped.

Thank you for that, I went to my first support meeting tonight. It was encouraging to actually see people and sit and listen. Most of my questions were answered and I know I can do this. With this forum and the actual support group, I know I can do this. The good totally out weight the bad.

I have discovered powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup Protein powder and it is so nice to have a hot Protein Drink, it is only 100 calories but tastes like a nice bowl of comforting chicken Soup. I have that when I feel cravings or longings for some comfort food.
