I've been following the pre-op diet very carefully but have questions about the diet. I've continued to fall below the 800 calorie per day quota and 30 max carbs. I do exceed the protein requirement by a great deal. Is this normal? Has anyone else had a hard time keeping to this diet? I don't cheat at all, no desire to actually. Just worried about the numbers not matching.... I'm scheduled for the 26th and don't want to get rescheduled! If I eat more calories, my protien will increase also...

This is my why... I am a widowed Mom and I want my children to have the best memories of me that they can. I don't want my weight to be the reason we don't do things together as a family. I'm tired of being too heavy for the rides at amusement parks and waterparks, flying on an airplane and needing 2 seats, wishing I could be more active to only be more depressed when my body holds me back, tired of being viewed as lazy or sloppy because of my weight and the embarrassment of having to go shopping alone in the plus areas of stores. My weight has caused me to break my foot from falling when I wouldn't have, had I not been this heavy. My health has suffered greatly and the daily medicines are ridiculous to maintain the version of my current life.

Best advice I've seen on here! Extremely supportive and genuine!❣👍

I'm the 26th

Woohoo! Congrats on making it this far. I'm waiting for the 26th. You'll do great. Sending prayers for a safe surgey and quick recovery!

You're not the only one. I'm April 26th... counting down the days. Excited but scared too!
