Hello to all!!

This is my first time on here so i want to introduce myself. I am a mother of 4 and a wife. I have been over weight for about 11 yrs now:mad:. I finally decieded that I needed to do something with myself before I die.

i have been going through the work up since aug 08. Finally my surg. has been approved and I am schedule for 4/8(excited):cursing:.

Now I am having a hard time with the pre-op diet. I feel like I am going to pass out. My headaches are so bad but i have to say that they do ease up some. I guess you have to get use to it. My husband says it MIND over MATTER. he is right.

Please let me know how these part of the journey was for you!!!

hope to hear from ya soon..:thumbdown:

Hey Mima. Come join our April '09 group click HERE. There's over 120 of us there in the same place you are (well, our first group went off to bandland today). Come introduce yourself! Welcome to LBT! -BG

Hey MIMA, I know exactly how you feel with the pre-op diet. I was in exactly the same boat last week - the worst imaginable headache (I think it was sugar withdrawal for me) and I could have eaten a horse (and then run after the jockey). The first few days really are the hardest. The headache will pass (lots of water may help - it didn't for me but it didn't make it any worse) though I still feel very very hungry.

Anyway best of luck. We've added you to the list of April bandsters. As BG says, please join us there.
