RNY Surgery Scheduled!

I have to do a very low calorie diet for three weeks starting 19th.  1000-1200 calories.  Hope I can stick to it.  I have 40 years under my belt of not sticking to it ;0

Same here.  I tell my husband I am on the "farewell to food tour"  I'm eating everything I know that I won't be able to eat afterwards.  Tonight we are going out for fried clams.  I know it's bad and I should be training myself to eat right, but i can't help myself.  I know I need to work on my head to resist.  

Most of us find wonderful substitutes making it feel like we haven't said farewell to much.  For example, a sundae treat now consists of a bowl of cut apples, walnuts, vanilla yogurt, and cinnamon.  It is much preferred over a bowl of ice cream and hot fudge wishing "farewell to food" had happened long ago.  "Welcome to better food."

You are right.  I need to figure out the substitutes and have a plan for each day so that I don't make a bad decision.  So much re-training  to do.

Hi, it's surprising the FAT DOCTOR series don't get mentioned more because Surgeon Shaw Somer comes across as having a total understanding of our plight.  Watching the Daniel Simmons episode makes me feel a duty to get WLS right.  Best Wishes getting it right.
