I had this too! It's frustrating but at the same time I tried to change the way I thought about it. Lots of people said to me, you're doing so well on the pre-op diet you can definitely just keep going, don't worry about the surgery. I even had that from my husband before the surgery lol I think surgery just seems so extreme to people, and especially if they love you they don't want you to have to go through pain/suffering. Just kindly explain that you're doing great because the surgery is motivating you, but you have tried many things before and it is very difficult to stick to these sorts of diets for the length of time people like us need to, in order to get to a healthy weight. They really think they are helping/showing you they care, they don't realise how frustrating it is lol Xx good luck with everything, you're doing so great!

Definitely contact your doc. I was having a lot of pain a week out of surgery when I was deep breathing, and it turned out I had a collapsed lung. It fixed up after I got the proper treatment, but don't wait until it's too late like I probably did. It really slows you down! Keep up your deep breathing though, it's really important!
