Hello everyone I'm getting my surgery done on July 6th 2016 and I have to do 4 weeks pre-op diet. I just need some tips on how to keep me motivated from June 6th onwards any ideas please!!!

Basically: Drink a ton of Water. Follow your surgeon's instructions. Be patient.

I found pre-op harder in the sense that I still had my whole stomach so I was constantly hungry and craving junk, especially since I knew I wouldn't be able to eat it much more afterwards.

Post-op still sucks, but eating has now become a chore and I hate it. So it's easier. Kinda.

Did you do anything else leading up to the surgery like going to the gym etc??

I am currently on a 5 week pre op diet. I am focusing on the fact that it is ok and normal to feel hungry. That means my body is doing its job ( eating the fat around the liver) and that this isnt forever. I will be allowed carbs again, just not for a while and less often and small amounts
