I just about completing the steps before my first appointment and I started to count calories and only eating approved food. You know to get into the habit, I'm suppose to loose 10 pounds before op, but they also know is hard because this is why I'm getting surgery in the first place but I really want this and I'm trying my hardest to control myself , but it's a suffering. I ate for lunch a turkey whole wheat sandwich then another one around 6pm and like at 10 my dinner I go to sleep like at 1:30 am . For dinner I had some chilli . Like 1 cup n half . I felt starving can't wait to have a smaller stomach!!!
