Hello all my date is Jan 15th. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. Is that normal.

I have to be honest all i think about is food on this pre op diet. But haven't cheated and not planning on it.

I am only hurting myself if i do.

Excited and nervous at the same time is very normal! I found the pre-op diet to be pretty difficult as well especially since I was still cooking for the kids. All I thought about was food, too. Of course, obsessing over food was not a new problem for me ? Good for you for sticking with it!

Your life is still going to revolve around food after surgery, it will just be in a different way. It took me a while to break my compulsive eating habits and it takes a lot of time and help to retrain your brain. Now, my life revolves around food in a healthier way: making sure I'm getting enough protein, trying new recipes, checking my macros and looking at the food porn over on the "Food Before and After Photos" thread on this site!

I'm glad you're here. Being part of this community whether you're lurking or posting really helps.
