Hello from Texas

Hi everyone! Today is my first day on this site and I hope it will help me through this journey. My surgery is scheduled two weeks from today 4-25-11. Today was the first day on my pre-op diet and it started good but by late afternoon I broke down. But tomorrow is a new day and I will be okay. I'm 29 and currently weigh 332 pounds, I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I feel like I know what to expect just from reading blogs and books but at the same time I think maybe I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm open to any advice...

I don't know that I could have ever done that pre-op diet. LOL I have done Medifast and did okay for like 6 weeks but somehow the idea of the pre-op diet would have been horrible to me. However, the day before my surgery I did my own liquid diet and by night time I was not a happy camper and I ate a cinnamon bun. oops!

You are starting around the same weight as me. I started at 338 and now weigh 317. I had my surgery on 3/29/11. You will do great, just keep your eye on the prize! Good luck!!!!
