Hey everyone my is Sarah and I'm 30 from northern Indiana. I am 2 days into my 2 week liquid diet before my VSG on July 25th. I am pretty alone in this journey thus far. I know of no one personally who has had the surgery and so am left searching the interwebs for some friendly souls who may be willing to help me through this next step. I started my journey with a clinic on November 29, 2016 at 410lbs. As of Monday, I weighed in at 320 making an even 90lbs lost so far. I am really nervous but very excited for the new life to come. I've been reaching out to some on social media, sharing my progress and have gotten so much love and encouragement. I am very thankful for all that for sure, but I would LOVE a few people who have actually been down this road that I can talk to and maybe be able to ask questions if need be. This seems like a really great place. Hope to get to know a few of you!

Hello Sarah and well done on your weight loss so far. You should be proud of yourself for the work you have put in. I am Day 6 preop diet. I think this is the first day I felt a bit better. I have ticked all the boxes you experience with VLCD plan. Irritability, excessive hunger, headaches , fatigue ... you name it. I feel somewhat normal today.
