I just started my six month diet. So far it is tough but I am dedicated. Here is the.start to my new life.

good luck and this time will go by fast

Thank you. I am just trying to stay away from sweets

You can do this.... One day at a time

Thank you! Ifelt so bad after I cut out pop I just had to have one. My migraine went away but now I start over.

The headaches are usually due to a reduction of sodium and sugar in your diet. I struggle with that too. Mustering the strength to eat right is hard enough, and then I get a splitting headache... Ugh.

To get through it I try to think about all the pain I'll be in after surgery and how exhausted and achy my body will be from the salt, sugar and calorie reductions. I imagine those first few months will be the hardest. Think of these headaches as practice for harder times... And never lose sight of the better times that will follow them.

When is your surgery? I am kind of nervous but know its for the best.

I gave up pop the day of surgery... I know .. Shame on me... But the pain meds and just being totally out of it after surgery helped me with that... I never did get a headache

I'm in Hawaii, too. Did you have your surgery at Pali Momi? If so, that's where I will be having mine (if I'm approved).

Yes they have me on a 6 month diet before the surgery. Its dreadful but I am doing it.

I have my consult on Wednesday, 11/28; and my nutritionist and psych meetings the next day on the 29th. I've also requested for my records to be sent to my surgeon, so that's about all I can do right now. I expect to be scheduling my endoscopy soon, and possibly a sleep study to check for sleep apnea.
