Introducing myself

Hello everyone.  I've been lurking around on this site since February while I've been jumping through all of my insurance company's hoops and waiting on my surgery date to finally get here.  I'm now on the third of my seven day liquid pre-op diet with VSG scheduled for July 3rd.  Yesterday was a real BEAR with the carb monster headaches but today is much better although the headache is not entirely gone.  May I just say that I have enjoyed reading all of your posts and responses.  I have learned so much from you all and it has all put my mind at ease about having this surgery next week.  A big thank you to all. 

Gail. 

Welcome Gail and good luck!  The previous op diet was a b*there but it was worth it.   you can do it!

The first few days are the worst it will get a bit easier each day and then before you know it it will be July 3rd Wooooo hooooo congrats !!!! :-)

Welcome!  My VSG is set for 7/1, so I am right  there with ya in the pre-op diet. We can make it!  Best wishes for 7/3!

Thanks for the welcome!  I'm actually doing much better than I anticipated during this phase.  Each day is getting easier.  The headaches are all but gone now and I'm getting real excited.  I'm cleaning up my house today and getting everything ready.  Three days of work this week and my day will finally be here.  To any who are struggling, just keep your eye on the prize.  We can all do anything we set our minds to do.  Take control of your mind and your body will follow.
