And so it begins...
May 11, 2009
So today I started my pre-op 21-day liquid diet. I'm scheduled for VSG on June 1st. I can't believe how hard this is. Every 30 seconds I'm thinking about food, what I'm missing out on, how long it will be before I can even taste any of my favorite comfort foods again...Alot of VSG'ers on this forum say that the first 3-5 days are the most difficult, but then "it gets better." I sure hope they are right for the sake of my daughter, husband, co-workers, and students, hehehe.
I am very excited but wary as well. My body is practically giving out on me at this point in my life. All I know is pain. My back, my knees, my ankles, and my feet need relief. Sometimes I cry at night from the pain I put my body through. I need this surgery. I know I do. But I'm scared. I'm scared of failing, of binging and hurting my sleeve, of letting myself down, and everyone around me as well.
I can't thank my father and husband enough for this opportunity. My father for lending me the funds. And my husband for being the most supportive, understanding, and loving husband in the world.
If anyone reads this... just pray for me...
