Tawnya777 106 Posted April 21, 2013 I start next Wednesday and my anxiety has all ready kicked in. I just came back from shopping for my pre op diet and my refrigerator looks depressing lol I know how you feel. I already have an anxiety disorder and thinking about all this makes it worse. I can say that the liquid diet has gotten easier. I use to see food commercials and practically drool. Now it's like that looks good, but I know I can't have that. 1 indenial reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
