I'm getting nervous! I'm from Philadelphia and my date is June 15th. My doctor put me on a 1,000 calorie a day diet for 2 weeks. I'm already 3 days in and I've lost 8 pounds. I am SO scared to cheat because to me this is a life or death situation, and I don't want to mess up.

Just stay busy, take a short walk, take a short nap, do a hobby. Stay away from regular tv w commercials of food. Take a spa day - get a pedicure, buy some bath salts - soak in the tub, slather lotion on, put a face mask on, etc etc.

And when you do eat, light a candle, get out the good dishes, put flowers on the table, use a real napkin.

Hi I'm from NJ. I'm on day of 2 of the pre op liquid diet, scheduled for June 9! Not going to lie... liquid diet sucks but haven't cheated and I don't think I will. I'm too scared to too! 8 lbs is awesome weight loss so far. Keep up the good work .
