See a dietitian.

Follow your dietitian's instructions. Food journal, watch portions, stick to calorie limits, avoid processed foods.

Exercise.

Work really really hard to change your lifestyle and eating habits.

Find some support. An accountability buddy. A support group. Therapy if needed.

Take it a day at a time. Never give up:)

Thank you for the advice


So I'm going to assume the date of your surgery was a typo and you are talking about being on a preop liquid diet, which for most folks means protein shakes. It's hard to provide advice without knowing what you are struggling with. Is it the liquid nature of the diet, are you having difficulty getting all the protein you need, are you just frustrated and hungry (trust me we have all experienced this on the preop diet)?
