When is your surgery date? I'm on day three of my two week pre op diet and its been tough. Right now I was thinking of going to get Mex food but I'm not hungry just want to eat... My surgery date is Feb 4th.

Quit eating! I know, I know, but why are you self-sabotaging yourself beforehand? You should be using this time to work on your Proteins, lower your carbs, learn how to get in 64 ounces of Water a day, charting your food on My fitness pal, and learning to get an exercise program in.

You are entering the process to have your stomach cut from the top to the bottom, which is a life-altering, major surgery and you are not putting the effort into making changes. Maybe you need some sort of psychotherapy to help you, besides a nutritionist. Are you on a six month program? Are you going to Mexico? Will you have to see a shrink?

Start charting your food on myfitnesspal.com, start drinking your Water, and start trying to make the positive changes you need to before surgery.

I entered the program 3 times. The first two times I did what you did and dropped out. The third time, I decided I was going to put 100% effort into my health and the program and that's exactly what I did.

Best of luck to you, talk to your nutritionist or doctor but seriously, start charting your food and starting lowering your carbs. Try to get down to 800 calories a day, 80 grams of Protein, and 40-75 grams of carbs, 64 ounces of water in. I lost 10 pounds a month during the six month program. You can do it if you put your mind to it.

I can relate. I don't have a surgery date yet, but I am having my favorites one last time. It may nit be the wisest choice, but I think of it as saying goodbye to my philly cheese steaks
