I am on day 3 or pre op liquid diet. I am doing my best best but have had to break down and eat a few bites of salad and chicken. I am not sure what the consequences of this is. Anyone?

Does anyone feel like this: if I change my eating habits and exercise, loose some weight is the surgery worth it? Maybe I can do this on my own? Maybe I don't need the surgery? Sent from my Z828 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for all the input and knowledge .. I work as a tech in the hospital on the surgical floor where bariatric surgeries are done none the less. My friends and family say I can don't on my own and there is no reason for the surgery .. They just don't understand, but it makes me think what I'd they are right? I know deep down I want it I just need to accept it and move forward. I am sticking to better eating habits, joined the gym and already drinking Protein shakes. I have my EGD scheduled to I'm moving forward. Sent from my Z828 using the BariatricPal App

I have but never stuck to anything. I wasnt obese until after having kids. I never had to watch what I ate or exercise. I have tried to change but it was always short lived.. I see what you're saying about the percentage of people being able to do it on their own, but aren't the odds bout the same for keeping the weight off after surgery?
