I started this journey in July - dr. visits, support groups, etc. I have 3 more things to accomplish before I qualify for the actual date. Here's the thing - I'm trying desperately to change my diet and it's so darn tough. I've got to get past the food. I've got to get past the food!!! I want to go through with this but it scares the crap out of me. :cursing:

my surgery is in 3 days. 013009 - I am the same as you have to get past the food. I already miss food (pre-op diet). Yet at the same time, I think I finally hit rock bottom. It bothers me, but not as much as I would have thought. Food is my addiction. So all of a sudden, I am giving up my comfort, my addiction and something I love. I am scared to death.
