Thank you for sharring your experience. Today is day 1 liquid diet for me. I'm trying to stay positive too. It is all just beginning to seem real finally! It's weird seeing how much I focus on the food! I'm looking forward to seeing that change. Good luck to you!

Boy am I an emotional basket case today! I have so much going on and am starting the liquid diet tomorrow. I think it is all starting to sink in that this is real and happening really fast! I thought it was good timing to have the surgery but now I'm getting all these invites for holiday parties and christmas and FOOD. think i'm feeling a little resentful about it... But my desire to not feel soo exhausted and miserable is far more important to me than any frickin food!

I finally have a CONFIRMED surgery date! I'm super excited about it! 12/18/12! WOW can't believe it is 19 days away less then 3 weeks! I'm so ready to start on this next stage of my life I can't begin to express it in words. I'm over the food, I'm over the weight, I'm over ALL of it! I've been working with my network of supporters and I've already bought some of the protien drinks I'm gonna need and my sister made me some turkey broth from thanksgiving! OH and I bought gasx! lol hope it helps!! I'm just ready to get going on it. Lots to do at work and home still so I'll be a busy girl for the next 3 weeks one week left before the 2 week liquid diet.. Hope I don't go NUTS with the food!! What an amazing Christmas gift God is having Santa bring me this year!!

Today I have my Psych Eval and Pre-op class the last hoop before they schedule my surgery! I'm pretty excited. I'm hoping to have my surgery scheduled for next month around the 12th. I wasn't really nervous until this morning about the psych eval.. I've spent the last year getting to know myself and my issues pretty well so guess I'm kinda nervous about letting him know about them! I've had lots of opinions about what to say and what not to say. I think however I'm just gonna go w/honesty and let God take the lead!

HI, I'm new to the forum too. I have begun my VSG journey! I'm 37 and a single mother of one amazing 16 yr old daughter. I had my first appt with my surgeon last thursday the 25th and if all goes well I plan to have my surgery on 12/12/12 how cool is that! I'm looking forward to making some new friends on here, staying informed, and having a place to track my progress. Have a great day!
