Hi so I am new to this forum.. Actually I am new to forums in general, however I need to talk to people going through the same, or have gone through the same thing I am... That being said, I am super nervous about the 2 week pre-op diet. I started my journey at 460lbs. currently just under 300lbs. One day after giving myself insulin and hitting a sore spot I got up off my butt and started walking and swimming (felt more like re-enacting some show at Sea World... seriously...) I didn't change my eating at all... I suck at diets. When I restrict I tend to CHEAT!!!! When I say Cheat I mean like the banker when playing monopoly.. I was just scheduled for surgery 4/24/18 and pre- op diet to start on the 10th... I instantly went into this mode where I was mapping out all the places I wanted to eat before the 10th... Like I am going to take down some olive garden salad in a few hours... I am concerned that i may cheat and go down in a blaze of glory... Do any of you have any suggestions?

yes... i didn't diet at all... i ate all the same things... I just started exercising. Honestly if i wanted a donut i just made sure i was in the pool 20 min longer.

Well i started the pre-op diet early.... I figured that if I do not start it now my anxiety about it is just going to make it harder on me. I am hopeful.
