I am still pre-op, so I can't really offer you any advice, but I can offer you some encouragement:

You can do it!

Write down a list of all the things you want to do after weight loss - use it as inspiration to get you through the difficult times during the pre-op diet. Eat and drink as much as allowed - don't wait until you are starving and more apt to grab something quick (not on plan). Be prepared and have allowed foods available at all times! Good luck.

I start my presurgery diet tomorrow and a little nervous. Anyone have any advice before I start? I am so nervous.

Why are you nervous? Are you nervous about the surgery, the diet, or both?

The surgery was easier than I expected. My only challenges were the gas pains that lasted for almost 2 days and getting in enough liquid. My pre-op diet lasted for one week and was actually pretty easy. I didn't really feel miserable like some people say they felt. I made sure to drink at least 3 Protein shakes a day and eat about 2-3 light and fit yogurts a day. Also, drink plenty of fluids to keep yourself fuller longer. Good luck!
