waneta35 64 Posted September 11, 2014 Well I'm new here been looking around for a week now. I went to my pre-op final appointment on Monday and was told to start the diet as soon as I can. Today is my wedding anniversary and I wanted to enjoy one last meal out so I will be starting the diet on tomorrow. It's mostly low carb and clean eating. I can get a 1000 calories a day. My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday September 23rd after I return from Hawaii for my anniversary. I will be clean eating while on vacation but it will be worth it to have back my self confidence that I loss with the added pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
