8 day count down to surgery - request for advice...

My background - I am unhealthy and overwieght. I flopped between vegetarian and vegan for years but never truly got healthy, I was still very overweight. Currently eating meat, cheese, sugar, etc!
I am having a breast reduction in 8 days. I am very hopeful that back pain relief etc that I will obtain from the surgery will help motivate me to move to a healthy place.
SO - I have not been eating the kind diet AT ALL. I want to take this 8 days til surgery and do all that I can to make my body strong for the surgery. Can anyone help make some suggestions??
Thank you in advance for any thoughts!!

Hey Jennifer,
good luck with your journey! I think that it was a good step to join this community. Whenever I find myself struggling with my diet, I find new inspiration here. I am not overweight, but I became a vegan because of severe health problems - my liver started giving up at the age of only 20 (!), my stomach was in constant pain and I was not active at all.
Now, a few years later, I am hardly ever sick and whenever I have a cold or something, I can always trace it back to my diet (it's usually a coffee, sugar, white flour combo that's making me sick!). Please do not give up, even if you cannot be a superhero right away. It's so worth trying over and over!! If you want to, you can private message me whenever you find yourself struggling.
All the best for your surgery,
Charlotte
Thank you for the inspriration Charlotte!
