Ditch the carbs and hi fat foods.... that's what your doc wants you to do. If u feel u need something take one bite and walk away. It's like anything in life. If someone told u that if u lived as a homeless person for 2weeks and they would give u a million dollars could you do it?

This is a commitment make the right Need choices and look to the future.

Good luck

I'm on the same diet right now only I just can have liquid. I have found that the sugar free jello and sugar free popsicles have helped me get through the cravings. 10 calories per serving. I feel the same way as you, but this is the begining of the new you for the rest of your life. you need to remember that you made this choice to get healthy and you are almost there. dont blow it when you are so close to starting your new life.

I have to loose twelve pounds before surgery and I hope to have surgery on Oct. I am eating everything I can get my hands on. I say this has to stop tomorrow. I am self sabotaging my goals. I guess I really dont have any great words of wisdom. I just wanted you to know I know how you feel.

PG80 - Right there with you girl. I have a SF popsicle and a Eco friendly 16 oz cup of "Great Value (WalMart brand)" Cherry Pomegranite flavored water as soon as I get home. That gives me enough "oomf" to get through the warming up my chicken and fixing a big bowl of salad. Here's the trick. I hate to make salad. So on Sunday evening I cut up all the lettuce, carrots, celery, green onion, radish, (no tomatoes yet...add those separate) whatever else in very small pieces. I put all of it in the salad spinner and get all of the water OUT. Then I bag it in a unused shopping bag- and it's great all week long. (Since it's just me - I grab a handful and enjoy with my favorite dressing.) Costco sells chunked chicken already grilled and this is great warmed up and tossed on the salad!. I keep shakes at the ready for work...over ice - they are much better!

That diet is a killer. I am awaiting a call from the Doctors office in the morning with my surgery date.

I have a friend getting the sleeve the 19th and have been feeling her pain of the diet.

I am so excited about getting the bypass and looking good again in my clothes but, scared to death also.

Im scared I will never get to eat the good stuff again.

I too am eating everything in site and maybe for the simple reason, my head says "you can't have this anymore".

I have a treadmill test coming up and 12 mins. of running ???? Fat girls don't run or at least I don't.

I want this so bad, I just hope I can get thru all the B.S. before hand.
